nudity | A girl is seen masturbating with a crucifix. it is shot from the side, so little is seen. a girl shouts sexual insults at a priest and a woman. a man is grabbed by the crotch and thrown to the ground. 7/10 |
violence | the appearance of the possessed girl is both frightening and violent. a girl gets graphic cuts on her face a man is grabbed by the crotch (see sex and nudity) and thrown to the ground. 7/10 |
profanity | 2 "c" words shouted loudly and clearly (very strong language) 95 "f" words (strong language) some smaller profanities 10/10 |
alcohol | There are adults socially drinking at a dinner party. The mother is shown drinking alcohol to cope with the situation. The mother smokes cigarettes, as does a priest. In one scene, a visibly intoxicated man is shown. A 12 year old child is injected with sedatives against her will, as well as being put through a hospital procedure that involves being injected in the neck with contrast fluid. A verbal reference is made to marijuana. The drugs Ritalin and Thorazine are referenced. Two priests share a drink from a bottle stolen from another university dean; both are also showing smoking. Even though there are frequent scenes involving alcohol/smoking they are very mild and neither glamorize, nor promote the use of drugs; one scene in fact decries drug use. 5/10 |
frightening | May be frightening to some people. in the past, this was the scariest movie ever created. now, with the special effects we have, this may be almost humorous. very intense. 10/10 |
