A woman takes off her panties and briefly uses a vibrator in her bed under covers, but is interrupted quickly by a child. Only the woman's head is visible throughout the entire sequence, and sound is low. The scene can be unsettling due to its realistic setting. It's non-explicit but may be unsettling. This scene is interwoven with scenes of the child getting out of bed.
A commercial of a prostitute is shown briefly in TV.
A woman watches a couple kissing in a car in an old movie. |

10/10
The film is brave enough to leave out jump scares, so don't be expecting a jumpy film.
A boy suffers a seizure whilst yelling at an invisible monster. He thrashes and convulses onscreen for several seconds. He also suffers a similar attack in his home, yelling "Don't let it in!" loudly and repeatedly while seeming to suffer extreme shock.
The pop-up children's book featured in the film is graphic and can be quite intense when it is being read or viewed.
There are several intense scenes featuring a monster that is often shadowed and appears suddenly. The sound the monster makes is also incredibly scary. These scenes can be extremely frightening.
The themes of this film are very intense. A very young boy is put in several frightening situations and some may find this quite confronting.
Definite trigger warnings for anyone who had a violent or abusive relationship with parents, especially those who were threatened or assaulted by a parent.
BBFC - (15): strong supernatural threat, bloody images.
Recommended Rating: R for disturbing images and violent content, terror, some language, and brief sexuality - involving children and animals |
