| frightening |
The fact that this film is based on a true story and cause slight paranoia to some viewers.
There are frequent prolonged scenes of strong threat and horror. Almost the whole movie is intense.
There are some brief moments of emotional intensity/distress, but nothing too upsetting.
There are several prolonged scenes in which children are terrorised by a supernatural threat, often in the form of demonic or ghostly spirits, and scenes in which a girl is possessed by an evil spirit.
An 11-year-old girl speaks in a very deep and demonic voice, implying that a demon has possessed her body. This is very disturbing because the demon makes threats to the possessed girl and her family, and has a very sinister laugh which may cause discomfort to some viewers.
