Sex & Nudity
-
- Sister Narcisa disciplines herself by repeatedly whipping her bare back to the point of cuts and bruises. No nudity, but we see the act continuously.
- Sister Narcisa's clothes are tightened excruciatingly in a dream sequence, popping open the seams and revealing her bare back. No nudity.
- Sexual assault becomes a prominent theme in the final chapter of the narrative.
- Absolutely no nudity at all.
- A nun is raped. Nothing too explicit.
Violence & Gore
-
- Images of deceased nuns on their deathbeds are seen repeatedly. Not gruesome, but a bit uneasy.
- Sister Narcisa unknowingly consumes and quickly spits out a pair of eyeballs which are shown in graphic detail. These eyeballs belong to one of the nuns, who presents their empty sockets in a disturbing closeup shot. This is revealed to be a dream sequence.
- In a dream sequence, Sister Narcisa squishes the beads of a rosary which morph into blood. The other beads end up the same.
- A disturbing sight in a dream sequence showcases a floating Sister Narcisa with blood spilling from her mouth.
- People are viciously attacked in a sequence that showcases war flashbacks happening around Sister Narcisa.
- A painful childbirth is shown briefly with heaps of bloodflow.
- Sister Narcisa is blinded during an eclipse, which results in her eyes being wounded and continuously bleeding out whenever a disturbing event occurs.
- Sister Narcisa, in a dream sequence, is violently strangled by an invisible entity. The seams of her clothing burst open, revealing her heavily injured back. More tense than gnarly.
- A mummified corpse is seen frequently in the final act.
- Sister Julia's cheek is sliced by an invisible entity. The wound bleeds out briefly.
- There is a mummified hand which is infrequently revisited.
- Talk of an entity which curses and claims the lives of those within its grasp. We hear the story of one victim.
- Gunshots from a previous war cover the exterior of the convent.
- Sister Narcisa brutally disciplines herself, resulting in bruises and other wounds engulfing her back.
- Hair comes out of a shower drain.
- Rosa is slapped in the face by Sister Julia.
Profanity
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- A cigar box filled with inanimate objects is shown.
- An elderly nun puts liquor into a dessert which she feeds to Sister Narcisa. She then takes out the bottle and takes a quick drink from it.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The film deals with disturbing scenes that convey psychological mortem, emotional repression, suicide, and denial of acceptance in very frightening ways.
- Lots of emphasis on uncomfortable tension and heavy atmosphere which makes each scene very unnerving.
- Jumpscares are very ominous and heavy, though more disturbing if anything. Eyeballs fill in the holes of a confession room, supernatural occurrences are prominent, and sudden instances of terror induce the sinister tone of the film.
- Sister Narcisa deals with a repressed psyche throughout the narrative which gradually develops into the inability to pick between belief or imagination.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- A woman is sexually assaulted in a flashback sequence. We see the man violently thrusting into her and we hear panting. No visible nudity, and everything takes place in an obscured few-second shot. She is impregnated.
- Quick flashes back to the rape scene are very brief and feature no nudity of any sort, but we see the rapist forcefully tear off the victim's panties before he begins to thrust. Again obscured and very quick.
Violence & Gore
- A young girl is hanged. We see her full corpse with a discolored skin tone. Her corpse returns in another scene on her deathbed.
- A nun's daughter is killed when her head is wounded whilst being frantically shaken in a bathtub. Blood flows out of the wound, and we see her corpse. The bath water is colored red.
- A nun hangs herself out of sorrow when her daughter is mishandled and killed. We see the happening and the aftermath.
- An elderly nun is drowned in bloody bath water in a hallucinatory sequence that is cross-cut with reality where she continuously vomits a large amount of blood until she dies.
- Sister Julia is killed when a statue collapses on her in a supernatural hallucination. Her face is crushed and graphically disfigured in reality. We see her fall to the ground.
- A violent rape scene showcases the victim's face covered in bruises and cuts.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Sister Narcisa expresses her grief and guilt in a very tense, brief scene which is very effective. She wails loudly and grips tightly onto a chair with symbolic meaning.
