7/10
Mrs. Ganush makes several appearances and may be very frightening to some viewers.
Close-up views of the faces of flies are seen for many seconds. *To correct, prior entries listed close-ups of spider faces: as one who fears spiders, I felt a need to correct for other viewers having the same fear. There are NO close-ups in this of spider faces; only faces of flies.
A demon appears repeatedly as black fog, ominous shadows or a diabolical/satanic goat figure.
An invisible demon beats Christine and hurls her across the room.
Otherwise benign characters are possessed by demons, threatening and attempting to harm the heroine.
In the heroine's first meeting with a soothsayer, it gets really quiet then the wind blows, and as the scene gets darker and the camera closes in on the woman, a sudden fiery vision of a shrieking demon, pops up, which understandably scares the soothsayer.
The movie's main idea is about being dragged into hell, and this is fairly disturbing.
The scene where Christine kills her cat may scare younger viewers
A devil with a black face pops up from the window and sends Christine to fly across the room. The devil has a very frightening face. The part where Christine looks at her phone and Ms. Ganush appears is very scary and may make some viewers jump.
A really frightening scene is when Christine is on her bed. When she lays down, Mrs. Ganush is laying beside her with a horrifying scare. She jumps on Christine while she is screaming. Mrs. Ganush then vomits a bunch of maggots. This may be a very disturbing scene for viewers. (Very Intense and Eerie)
MPAA/USA - Rated PG-13 for sequences of horror violence, terror, disturbing images and language.
BBFC/UK - Rated 15 (strong horror, violence). |
