violence
Characters are attacked by a woman under the influence of demonic possession. In one scene, a demonic entity violently drags a character along the floor and garrottes him using rosary beads, resulting in bloody aftermath detail.
threat and horror
There are strong scenes of supernatural threat and horror throughout, including ‘jump scare’ moments and objects moving independently. Demonically-possessed characters are forced to take their own lives. There are also suspenseful sequences as characters attempt to engage with the paranormal using seances and detection equipment.
injury detail
During a dimly-lit scene, there is sight of a bloody gaping wound in the aftermath of a ritualistic throat slashing.
additional issues
Infrequent strong language occurs ('f**k'), as well as milder terms such as 'bloody', 'bastard', 'bollocks', 'arse', 'damn', 'God' and 'hell. There is a brief scene of sexual threat in which a male prisoner leers at a woman. Other moments include an undetailed reference to adultery and scenes of tobacco pipe smoking.
