Sex & Nudity

Violence & Gore

  • A piano wire slaps a woman's eye causing a bloody cut; blood fills a glass she holds to her eye.
  • A man has a very bloody, deep cut in his hand; embedded glass is extracted with squishy sounds and we see his bloody hand and a bloody bandage in later scenes.
  • A painting falls on a couple, leaving a bloody cut on one's arm.
  • A woman is yanked out of bed onto the floor, a woman is "skewered" into place by poles but is not hurt.
  • People are thrown against walls, a man is drawn toward a fireplace and chairs are sucked from people's hands (as they're trying to break some windows) by unseen forces.
  • A bird statue and a huge, skeletal ghost attack people (the people fight back in one scene).
  • Blood spurts out of a statue's mouth and into some water, staining the water and a man's face red.
  • A woman comically hit a metal eagle-like sculpture as it comes alive.
  • A very, very tame horror movie! Film for all public, the state cannot do like a divine interference for every single child who cannot handle movies! Especially not since most ones are capable of handling it.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • There is a scene at a dinner table where a character pours a glass of wine, but it is not highlighted and no one gets drunk.

As the film goes on her mental state deteriorates as she becomes unsure if she is seeing things or the house is haunted. She ultimately finds her bravery and sacrifices her own life to protect her friends and release the trapped spirits of the murdered children.
