Violence & Gore

  • A woman and a man's dog doesn't return from a tunnel in a park at night, so they go to look for him, only to find some punks holding him by his leash. The punks then surround and circle the couple, harassing them. This continues until the man punches one, followed by that punk and others beating both him and the woman. They hit the man repeatedly with a rod or stick of some sort, while also punching the woman and throwing her hard into the tunnel's wall. We then see her POV as one stomps down onto her face, knocking her out. We then sees clips of them being transported on gurneys and then in the ER/surgery where both are heavily bruised and bloodied all over their bodies. We later learn that the man was killed by the attack. (BRUTAL AND VIOLENT)
