"Hell" is used quite frequently, but nothing more than that.

The Main Antagonist, "The Canker Man", is quite frightening and may disturb and terrify some viewers, there are many appearances of him throughout the movie.

'Before I Wake' is a horror film revolving around Cody, a young orphan whose dreams and nightmares manifest in reality as he sleeps. Terrified by his powers, his adoptive parents, Jessie and Mark, try to uncover the truth behind Cody's nightmares.

In the film, there are several scenes of horror where characters are attacked by a ghostly creature. The creature has a slightly disturbing appearance, with a skeletal figure and alien-like facial features.
