There is a shot of the first half-eaten victim, but not very long or close up. The second attack sees a brief shot of the lion chomping into a man's torso and skin being pulled. Brief shots of lacerations and claw slashes on bodies after the hospital is attacked.

about 20 minutes in, a man is dragged from his tent by a lion. the camera shows his perspective being dragged through the tall grass and it's definitely visually disruptive

SPOILER After Beaumont visits the site, three hunters wait in a trap set for the lion. They are briefly trapped in a space that looks kinda like a wooden jail cell, with fire on the ground and the lion roaring in front of them. There's definitely a feeling of dread from being trapped in a small space

there are shots of the lions "stalking" their prey in the traditional sense, watching from the tall grass, and humans realizing they are being watched. just in case that bothers you

The movie is called “The Ghost and the Darkness” but there are no actual ghosts. This is the name the local people gave the man-eating lions.

the two main lions are killed by the end, obviously. there is also a lion shot and killed at the camp around 16 minutes in, and its body is shown the next morning, but it is not graphic or excessively bloody
