Parents guide

This movie is about a colonel who becomes a sexual fetishist, rapist, and murderer.

Russell's attack on his first sexual assault victim is shown in graphic, explicit detail.

Before the movie depicts this first graphic sex attack, Russell is shown spying on women and stealing their underwear.

Russell is found to have child pornography on his computer. Of course this isn't shown, but it's mentioned by the police officer interviewing him.

Russell takes off his shirt and examines himself in a bathroom mirror after a charity jail and bail fundraiser.

The word "dildos" is seen on a computer screen.

A woman is seen undressing for a shower, and Russell who is intruding in her house undresses too. Only the woman's back is shown, and only Russell's shoulders and legs are shown, except for when Russell places her bra on his chest.

There are multiple scenes of Williams attacking his victims, but the scenes with his second sexual assault victim and his first sex-murder victim are shown in less detail.

While searching for his sister, Jessica Lloyd's brother finds Jessica's blood on her pillow.

One use of "You bastard!"

One "What the hell"

One damn

Police are shown, apparently checking for drunk drivers, at a road stop while their real motive is to find the kidnapper of Jessica Lloyd.

Russell takes a sip of red wine at one of his break-ins.

Russell's neighbours toast his promotion to Colonel with white wine.

All the scenes involving Russell Williams' crimes are frightening.

At the end, Russell is shown in a jail cell with his wife telling him that she is divorcing him.

There is a brief scene where Russell almost attacks the neighbours' teenage daughter, but the neighbours come home in time and Russell aborts the attack.

Russell's other neighbour is suspected of committing the crimes that Russell has been committing, and later Russell attempts to frame him for Jessica Lloyd's murder.

Both of Russell Williams' murder victims' dead bodies are shown.

The very fact that such a depraved monster by night seems like a trustworthy, friendly military officer and husband by day can be frightening to viewers.
