Spoilers

Violence & Gore

  • During a fight, Eron stabs Grey through the palm with a knife. Grey proceeds to swing the arm into Eron's head, causing the blade stuck through his hand to stab Eron's temple.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The film deals with the horrors of giving control of your body to something else. The film ends with Grey's consciousness losing control, as STEM takes over his body permanently, carrying out acts of violence against a heroic character. The psychological aspect of this ending can be very disturbing to viewers, especially those who were not expecting a twist ending.
