Parents' Guide to Matriarch

Parents need to know that Matriarch (2022) is a horror film with some possibly triggering portrayals. Disordered eating is shown multiple times, including a couple that specifically show the character sticking her fingers into her mouth to induce vomiting after meals. At the very end of all the credits, a website and phone number are provided for those who need help with disordered eating, or who know someone who needs help. Alcohol and cocaine are heavily abused, and death from overdosing is shown. Past mental and psychological abuse is mentioned. There are two depictions of suicide by walking into water. Sex is paired with gore in several scenes, including an orgy after suckling black goo from a woman's bare breasts, and a couple making out in a car as they increasingly decay and become covered in black goo. Violence includes crushing a skull with a rifle butt with supernatural gore shown, a gory depiction of an infant with its face chewed off, black goo dripping from body parts instead of blood, and gore from worms and rotting. People at the orgy are nude from behind and some female breasts are seen along with sexual sounds, thrusting, and depictions of different positions and numbers of partners. Strong language includes "f--k," "c--k," and "c--t." An extended scene shows excessive alcohol and cocaine use. Both snorting lines of cocaine and putting cocaine into a nasal sprayer are explicitly shown.
