Changeling in shape of child is briefly shown "pleasuring" his mother in her sleep. Two teenagers have sex while possessed (assault since the girl is possessed and cannot consent, and the boy is uninformed and manipulated).

Several kids die in the past and present stories, but only one teenager’s death is shown in action. The young brother is dragged away and presumed dead, but his actual murder is not shown on camera. Other teenagers’ bodies or ghosts are shown.

It’s not well-depicted at all. An officer had to go on leave after being traumatized in a crime scene he later has anger issues and beats his family.

Some of the lighting effects may be aggravating, the closest to a strobe effect is police lights at the end of the movie.

Inconsistent: maybe aborted, maybe stillborn but the image of a ghost mother holding a dead newborn is there. Seems like a Republican movie that knows nothing of non-Christians, gestation of fetuses, etc.

In my opinion, yes. “You can’t display a nativity scene anymore. It’s the east on Christmas.” No Jewish people are even acknowledged as existing beyond this supposed infringement (ie, respect for other cultures).

The black child does not die (neither the genuine nor changeling version). The abusive father who dies is black, but he is not the first to die.
