violence
Scenes of strong violence include a throat slashing, with brief aftermath detail of blood coming from the wound. There are also stabbings, impalings and blows to the head with blunt objects, often accompanied by strong bloody detail.
threat and horror
Scenes of strong horror involve jump scares and unsettling scenes as the protagonist becomes aware of sinister events occurring in the mansion in which she's staying. Demonic entities are implied to move through the darkness, stalking and attacking people.
injury detail
There are bloody images, particularly in the aftermath of violence. There are also ritualistic events involving the drawing and exchanging of blood.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
additional issues
There are visual and verbal references to a woman taking her own life. There are references to racism and discriminatory behaviour, particularly from one white character who makes reference to the protagonist's race (for example, touching her hair without permission and making a comment about 'the help'). There is infrequent use of strong language ('f**k'), accompanied by other milder terms ('friggin'', 'frickin'', 'douchebag', 'ass', 'asshole', 'shit', 'hell', 'God', 'butt' and 'damn'). There are undetailed verbal references to sexual harassment in the workplace. There is moderate sex, as well as milder verbal references. There are infrequent verbal references to drug taking.
