There is mention of a person having been drugged, but we don't see any scenes of the drugging or the person having been drugged. All we see is people in the morticians explaining she was drugged.

This is a "gimmick" film, which means that the 3-D effects were treated as a novelty. This includes a scene of a man with a paddle-ball addressing the audience as the ball seems to come straight towards the viewer.
