ReportSynopsis
Having lived through traumatizing events during WWII, Father Lankester Merrin takes a sabbatical from the Church to conduct archaeological excavations in British-administered East Africa. Merrin unearths an ancient Byzantine church believed have been built and then immediately buried to keep down evil from the crypt below. The natives are convinced that uncovering the church has unleashed a demon, and begin to violently clash with the British military troops. As the village rapidly disintegrates into chaos and war, Merrin must face-off with the demon which has taken possession of somebody close to him.

Not in the course of the movie's events. However, there's a scene in which a woman suddenly bleeds profusely from between her legs for no discernible reason (we only see her thighs). She says something like "It makes no sense. After what the Nazis did to me, there's nothing left to bleed" - so it's clear that her genitals and/or reproductive organs were severely damaged within the previous few years (the movie takes place in 1949).

It's a bit unclear. A woman says "The Nazis did horrible things to me", and later on, when she suddenly bleeds profusively from between her legs (we only see her thighs), she says something like "It makes no sense. After what they did to me, there's nothing left to bleed" - so it could've been rape, torture and/or medical experiments.

Not in the "usual" way, but a boy is subjected to something horrible by a group of adults. Not sexual.

There's the typical grotesque body twisting and bone cracking of a possessed person in movies. Also a newborn that... does absolutely not look like a newborn is supposed to look. That baby is absolutely disgusting.

One character has extremely bad teeth. At one point, there's a close-up of several whole teeth, roots and all, partially embedded in a wooden table top (or something like it).

A child gets attacked by a hyena pack (bad cgi hyenas but still), and they tear at his limbs. The child is alive the whole time (it's only a minute or two), and cries for help the whole time.

At least one. In a flashback, a N**i shoots a man in the head, and we see the man's little daughter, who's in a room nearby and realises what just happened. She screams "Papa!" and cries.

No, but there are people in tribal head dress and make-up for a ritual (more than once). They're black, and their faces are covered in chalk, which has an eerie effect.

We see the stillbirth of a horribly disfigured (for lack of a better word) baby covered in maggots. Well, it's more of an abomination than a baby.

No, but other racist utterances from a white man in Africa: "So you're a fuzzy lover" (to another white man) and "savages" about the locals. Maybe more; I don't remember.

Flashbacks of Nazis executing people, including a little girl. I don't think we're told whether or not the people are Jews, but I'd say it's likely.

There is none on screen, but a mention of a situation in a Convent in 1640 involving nuns and goats is made. It's vague enough to fly under the radar.

There's sexual assault: A demon makes a person sit astride someone and grind, crotch against crotch, in order to taunt and humiliate the person. Nothing visual besides that, but some extremely vulgar, disgusting stuff is said by a demon.
