On a scale of 1 - 10 for scariness, it was maybe a 3 at most. This is not a horror film. It's a tense, odd, unnerving, moody drama, more along the lines of film noir. There are more moments of offbeat humour than there are scares. There's a small amount of fairly realistic violence, but not a lot. Only one scene that I can think of has some very minor "gore", but that scene is designed to encourage the audience to anticipate and applaud it. It's pretty tame as far as movie gore goes, and you have enough warning to close your eyes if you really can't handle blood. Personally, I thought the scariest part of the movie was to see such a realistic depiction of heroin addiction.
Great film, very watchable, fantastic soundtrack, beautiful looking, very dreamy and different.
