Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • The apparition of the wife has her breasts exposed, but the lighting and her shaky movement make that hard to notice.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • It's suggested that the main character was an alcoholic.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • It is suggested that the main character's wife was badly burned in a bad fire, leaving her disfigured. The wife then supposedly killed herself in a bathtub. The purpose of the main character is to paint a painting using pieces of this dead wife to recreate her former beauty. When this is done the painting immediately transforms into the man's post-accident wife, and he throws it into a closet filled with other identical paintings, suggesting that no matter how many times he tries, he can never recreate her former self. Some may find this lightly, mildly, or very disturbing.
