While all effects are safely executed and professionally managed, the production does not shy away from the dark, disturbing elements central to the horror-thriller genre. As such, Misery contains intense scenes and themes, including:
- Graphic physical violence and murder
- Strong profanity and offensive language (including repeated use of the “F-word”)
- Simulated gunshots and stage gun use (producing loud, abrupt sound effects)
- Stage blood and realistic depictions of injury
- Frightening and suspenseful moments
- Adult themes and situations
- Strobe lighting and effects that may affect photosensitive individuals
