There are several frightening scenes in this film.
The fact that the girls choose to fight with no repercussions or second thoughts can be very frightening.
The girls often treat each other brutally, with no respect for loss of life, enacting pain, emotions, humanity, or the art of war.
The heart ripping scene can be very frightening.
The hanging scenes are very intense especially when the killer continues to stalk her opponents as they die, even going as far to taunt an opponent while she struggles to breathe or licks her lips as she enjoys watching the girls die, smiling menacingly.

The girls, especially cage girls, are very excited when it comes time for someone to die.

Several of the woman appear younger than they are to give the film a heightened sense of terror and to reflect some truths throughout the modeling industry. This was done as an homage to "Neon Demon," which later influenced this film. Very few of the girls were as young as 18 or 19 as most of them were in their 20s and 30s.
Miss Lass Shawty Bootay was 18 in her videos; Macy Nikole and Skull Candy were both 19; Strawberry Debutante and Cassi were 20, and Lois Minnis, Brianna, and Becca Chaney were over 21 in her segments and photos. In their respective photos, Chelsea was 19 in her fitness and fight set while Scarlett, known in the Ohio cosplay community as Odfel, was 18. Only in the TV-14 cut did Kelcey and his friend appear at different ages, the youngest being 14 during their wrestling segments.
