Summary: One chicken killed off-screen


Details: In the back room of a city butcher shop, the owner pulls a chicken from a crate, grabs a straight razor in his other hand, and slits the chicken’s throat at 9:07.  This happens, or the simulation of it happening, occurs barely below screen and what we really see is a spray of blood hitting the man. This one second of non-plot violence is easily skipped and not a reason to avoid the film.
