Sex & Nudity

Violence & Gore

  • Several children die while in a trance-like state; the deaths are blamed on the ghost of a woman.
  • Three young girls calmly jump to their deaths from the attic windows (offscreen, we hear their mother's screams.)
  • Another girl smashes an oil lamp onto her feet and goes up in flames, silently - brief and not too graphic.
  • Two young boys walk into the sea and disappear and we hear they died; another boy walks to the edge of a train platform, jumps onto the tracks and walks toward an oncoming train - no injuries are seen.
  • The ghost jumps from a chair with a rope around her neck, reenacting her suicide hanging; very brief.
  • Several scenes feature zombie-like children standing in the middle distance in graveyards or on town streets.
  • A decayed corpse stands at an angle to the camera; the head turns and shining eyes gleam at the camera.
  • A young girl coughs up a large amount of blood after ingesting caustic soda.
  • A doctor pulls a white sheet over a woman; we briefly see a large, red stain on another sheet between her legs, indicating childbirth.
  • Two men bury the body of a boy in a grave where we see a rotting yellow skeleton with gaping mouth.

Profanity

  • 6 religious exclamations ('God' and "For God's sake").
  • A woman emphatically wishes that another woman "rot in Hell" in a letter.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A man and a woman drink a few whiskeys in a pub.
  • A couple of bottles of liquor are seen behind the bar.
  • A man in a haunted house drinks several short glasses of whiskey.
  • Two dinner scenes show glasses of wine that men and women drink and two men drinking brandy beside a fireplace.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • It is very creepy and disturbing, a lot of jump-scares
  • Monkey plays maracas
  • The woman in black charges at the main character, screaming loudly. This is very disturbing. In another scene, we see a handprint on a window. The main character puts his hand on it and we see a brief image of her screaming outside the window.
  • Quite a few jump scares here and there that may make you jump if it's your first time watching the movie.
  • We see several scenes where a man is terrorised by a ghost in a haunted house. The ghost itself may seem frightening and her scream is very loud and intense.
  • There is a lot of suspense and several jumpy moments throughout the film and some brief disturbing images as described under 'violence and gore'.
