violence
A woman, possessed by demons, rips hair from a nun's head. She later crushes another's hand during an exorcism, resulting in bloody detail. Brief references are made to a woman's childhood experiences of neglect and abuse.
threat and horror
There are prolonged sequences of strong supernatural threat and horror, including jump scares, in which a woman is possessed by demons. This results in her screaming aggressively, foaming at the mouth, vomiting, speaking in a distorted voice and contorting her body. People also self-harm whilst under supernatural influences.
language
Infrequent strong language ('f**k') is accompanied by milder terms such as 'whore' and 'bitch'.
sex
There is a use of 'f**k' in a sexual context. Whilst possessed, a woman grabs a priest's hand and places it on her clothed breast in a sexualised manner.
suicide and self-harm
Verbal and visual references are made to a man's suicide.
injury detail
A woman grows increasingly covered in bloody lesions and bruises. There is also sight of blood and injuries after she has been implied to have self-harmed whilst possessed.
theme
Upsetting scenes occur due to bereavement and references are made to mental health issues.
