Exorcist: The Beginning

Movie • 2004 • Horror  

Report
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.

A demon makes a person sit astride someone and grind, crotch against crotch, in order to taunt and humiliate the person.

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

Many scenes are absolutely revolting. Mutilation, rotten corpses etc. I had to look away more than once.

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 Nazi 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.

A big syringe inserted into a little boy's arm. We see the needle entering the arm, but not close up.

Drawn-out, realistic birth that turns out to be a stillbirth of a horribly disfigured baby covered in maggots.

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'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.
