A man and woman start kissing in bed. Sex is implied.

A boy is seen fully nude frome A small Distance

A woman slips on blood that's on the floor, and we see her face missing the lower jaw, with her tongue flopping around.

A man tips himself over a balcony and falls to the street below (we hear a crunch when he hits, we see his twisted body and blood pooling around his head).

Two men go into an attic and find a dead man and a dead woman (they are tinged gray) and what looks like the bloody lower jaw of a human on the floor.

A man hears noises in a closet, and sees a blood-soaked body flops down on top of him, the man runs, opens another door, and we see the legs of a person swinging and kicking the wall (presumably someone who was hanged).

We see a man who is in a rage, he grabs a cat and drowns it in a toilet, he cracks his knuckles, and neck, approaches a woman, beats her (we don't see the blows) and then breaks her neck as she crawls down stairs to get away. You don't see the event or hear it but it is implied that is how she makes her noise.

A specter slithers (while making croaking sounds and we hear what sounds like bones cracking) toward a man, crawls on top of him and the man dies.

A man goes into a bathroom and finds a boy with his head in a bathtub full of water; the man pulls the boy out, and then the man is shoved into the water (we see an arm come toward him and hear him flailing).

A woman lies dead in a bed.

2 mild obscenities, 1 religious exclamation.

Doug smokes a cigarette once.

It would be useless to type every single frighening part of this movie and create a huge blog. The theme of the movie is horror, it involves lots of frightening images of dead bodies, and even dead bodies moving which could be really frightening even to some adults. There are also numerous ghostly, demon-like images that are also frightening. In specific, there are references of a "specter" which is basically a black mass (it looks like flowing hair) that takes the form of what sometimes looks like a woman and sometimes like a child.
