No dog dies on screen, but there is a dead stuffed dog that is shown a few times.
Also, a cat is harmed twice, grabbed by Oliver and it screams in pain.
Again it is harmed (not seen on screen) but then is shown in the next scene with it's tail cut, and bleeding.
Not abandoned in a typical way but the cat who is harmed does not receive medical care and goes missing. It isn’t looked after after its injury and no one seems to care or focus on it
I would say the main character stalks both the kids because she watched both of them on their sleep with ill intentions and looks at their phones against their will as well as the one of the children is blind so she moves stealthily around her and watches her
No, a woman is hung as part of a ritual to bring back a soul. People are there but it’s not for “spectacle”. It’s a ritual that required a sacrifice.
This trigger is mainly used for things like men enthusiastically cheering while a woman is sexually assaulted, beaten, or tortured. That does not happen here.
The brother is abused by his father as a child and hits his sister when he is eight. This happens years before the movie and the brother regrets his actions and has loving relationship with his sister during the film.
At about 10 minutes in, Oliver is in the drained pool seriously harming the cat. You don’t see much, just the cat squirming and fighting in Oliver’s arms. What is horrible are the sounds! For approximately 10-13 seconds you hear awful cat screeching and crying noises. Cover your ears.
The only two other times you see the cat is at “around” 22 minutes in and 35 minutes. At 22, you see the kitty walk down the hall and come to a door that Oliver is pounding on. Nothing bad happens to the cat here. He only gets spooked and jumps. And at 35 minutes, the cat is sitting on the couch then runs outside. That’s it.
Partially devoured chicken (and was not cooked/supposed to be eaten, if you get my drift). Not much left but we see the chicken coop earlier, so you know what it is, camera doesn’t linger on it.
Is hurt then runs away - No confirmed death
1st incident: cat is held tightly against its will and makes distressed sounds. 2nd: Same but tail is damaged (visual obscured, implied partially bitten off, injury shown later). Cat then runs away and is not seen again. We see no evidence that it was caught.
Be alert for cat scenes when a 10 year old boy stands in an empty pool with his back to the screen (happens twice).
At the very start of the film we see depictions of a ritual which includes a woman being hung, and there are a number of times that footage of this ritual are rewatched by one of the characters.
There is two major teeth damage scenes. Spoilers below.
The first scene is when Andy hands Ollie a slice of cantaloupe on a knife. The camera pulls away and metal chewing can be heard. The camera pushes back to Ollie and he’s chewing on the knife with the blade facing up.
The second scene is with Ollie knowing on a wooden table. He takes two large bites from the table and breaks teeth while biting down. This was also VERY loud.
A girl is punched hard in the eye socket and gets a black eye. A woman is hit with a projectile in the eye. There’s lots of bloody looking eyeballs pictured.
Overall it’s a very gory and messy movie to try to get through. Here’s the problem scenes- Father dies in shower has vomit on his face. The scene happens very early in the film, plenty of lead up. In addition, the older brother has flashbacks and visions of his father with the same appearance, these happen twice when he’s goes to take a shower at the foster mom’s house. Finally, the ritual to “bring her back” involves the demon purging dead flesh into the new body, so the tape recording and the final scene show that.
This goes farther than most. SPOILER in 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
A child who may or may not be possessed tries to eat a sharp butcher knife, blade first. Mutilates his inner mouth, gums, lip… hard to watch and I have a strong stomach. Later he tries to bite off a chunk of wood kitchen table top and partially does, that scene is very graphic. Later he literally starts eating his own arm, even more graphic, pulling off skin and eating it like you’d start eating a fruit roll-up. Everyone in the theater was overwhelmed, (I shouted out HOAAAH,along with the whole audience).
He deliberately punches through a window, too, though that’s minor compared to stuff mentioned above.
I would respectfully disagree with the comment that says Connor distended belly represents pregnancy with Cathy’s soul. Although he may have been able to channel her soul, I believe the distended belly is to show that he went through with eating her corpse and she was shown eating her corpse and then later shown with the distended belly.
At the beginning, a group of girls mocks a character's vision impairment. There are also two incidents where other characters ask why the visually-impaired character does not use a cane, but they are respectful of her not wanting to use one.
At the funeral, Laura mentions to Andy that some religions believe the spirit stays in the body for months. It’s the way she gets him to look at his dad for the final time.
Spoiler - Very briefly in the beginning a naked man is shown (few seconds). After that Piper and Andy’s deceased father is shown completely naked on the bathroom floor.
Also, a cat is harmed twice, grabbed by Oliver and it screams in pain.
Again it is harmed (not seen on screen) but then is shown in the next scene with it's tail cut, and bleeding.
