Violence & Gore
- Eleanor crashes her car into a tree and dies at the end of the film. It is left to interpretation as to whether she deliberately took her own life, or if it was the influence of Hill House. The act and the ambiguity surrounding it are intentionally disturbing.
- At the beginning of the film, it is explained the wife of the houseowner was killed in an accident, and we see part of the crashed wagon afterwards.
