Violence & Gore

Severe
50 of 73 found this severe
There is sight of dead bodies, sometimes with bloody injury detail, as well as sight of very heavily decomposed corpses.
In one scene it is suggested a man has gouged out his own eyes, although the gouging is not shown.
In another scene it is suggested that a woman has cut off her own fingers, under the influence of a supernatural entity.
There are scenes of strong and sometimes bloody violence, when people are forced to kill others by a supernatural entity, or when they take their own lives in order to get away from the entity.
In one scene a woman holds a child under bath water in order to drown the child and in another a man's limbs are broken and contorted after he is pushed down a staircase.
There are references to suicide and assisted dying, but always in a supernatural context where the suicides are motivated by people wanting to get away from the supernatural entity.
Lots of bloody, shocking death scenes with several decayed corpses shown throughout the film.
Two decayed corpses are shown. One is of a woman, who has been dead for months, in the drivers seat of a car that had crashed into a tree. We see that her arm has been broken and her skin is decaying from her face and entire body. The other corpse is of a man covered in blood with maggots squirming all over his face, which has been partially eaten by the maggots. Extremely disturbing.
An old woman jumps down a stairwell causing her to explode into pieces and blood shown
In a deleted scene, 2 decaying corpses are found in the attic. Blood is briefly seen on their faces.

Severe

There are a number of scenes of strong threat and horror, including regular 'jump' scares, as an entity suddenly appears behind people, or out of the shadows, and grabs at them.
There are also sequences of suspense in which people enter a haunted house and other darkened spaces to investigate supernatural sounds and movements.
