Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • This film is incredibly dark, demonic and seems very realistic. The level of demonic activity in it is enough to put the fear into even the most avid horror fans.

  • You see the man continuously becoming more and more sick looking.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • A man walks into his sisters bedroom and whips the sheet off her. She is in her underwear and we can clearly see a 'camel toe'. The man puts his hand inside his sister's panty. No nudity.

Violence & Gore

  • A man wakes up to find he has blood all over his hands. He later discovers that he killed the family dog and put it in his daughter's bed.
  • A man gets thrown around his house by an unseen force, crashing into walls and breaking things. He takes a knife and carves a pentagram into his chest. Bloody.
  • A man is searching for his friend inside of his house. He finds him in his daughter's room. You see a bloody arm with a knife stuck through the hand, fall from what looks like the ceiling.
  • Man throws up a combination of pills and blood.
  • A man jumps out a window and falls to his death.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Man takes a lot of pills to kill himself.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A medium walks up to a man and very suddenly falls on him and starts to "channel" his dead wife, startling the hell out of everybody there. She tries to give him a message, but the woman has a seizure before she could finish.
  • A man attempts to do an exorcism on himself. The demon ends up throwing him vigorously around the house, destroying furniture, etc. You can hear the demon speaking to him, very creepy.
  • The scene where the man takes a large butcher knife and starts slashing up his own chest is bloody, but there is a very graphic scene of him crudely stitching up (with a needle and thread) the wounds in the pentagram he has carved into his flesh which is even harder to watch as it is shot in close up, filling the screen. Shortly after he holds his finger extremely close to the camera and slowly inserts the large sewing needle directly into his fingertip until it is sunken almost all the way in, which also might disturb viewers.
  • The man tries to slit his wrists and his throat, but the demon wouldn't let him.
