| violence | A scene in the beginning of the film depicts a woman and child being shot and killed at point-blank range. The gunman then turns the gun on himself. Although fairly little blood is shown, the scene is quite disturbing. A man gets stuck on a train track and is killed by an oncoming freight train. Some blood is visible, but the scene takes place at night, and it is too dark to see considerable detail. A group of men viciously attack another man and beat him nearly to the point of death. A woman is assaulted in a parking garage, and there is a violent fight scene while she attempts to escape. A group of men are forced to physically restrain a mental patient who had turned violent. The men use clubs to subdue him as he hits and kicks several of them. A young man waves a handgun around a hotel lobby and points it at several people. Security nearly subdues him, but he pushes the guard and another woman over the rail (ostensibly) to their death. Abe shatters a mirror in anger. Abe points a gun at Sherry, but he is shot by police officers. Some blood is visible from the bullet holes. Sherry is in an ambulance is being chased by a malevolent spirit, which eventually takes control of her. The woman then stabs an EMT who is trying to restrain her. |
| profanity | Very mild profanity. |
| alcohol | Early in the film, the main character attempts suicide by consuming a large number of pills and alcohol. |
| frightening | In numerous instances throughout the movie, ghosts/malevolent spirits appear and, in some cases, cause physical harm to characters. The appearance of these characters is often done through "jump scenes" and they have a zombie-like appearance that would certainly be frightening to children and those bothered by such content generally. The entire film is characterized by an intense investigation into paranormal activity, such as radios/television sets flickering on and off, premonitions about death, ghostly manifestations, and so forth. A man is nearly killed by an oncoming car. A bicycle rider rides out in front of the SUV driven by Abe, , but the rider turns out to be the ghost of a character seen earlier in the film. Abe attempts to force Sherry outside of a building to talk, but she refuses, and Abe is forcibly removed from the hall. There is a brief standoff at gunpoint between Sherry and Abe. [The standoff ends when Abe is shot by policemen in the diner. Sherry is in an ambulance and is being chased by a malevolent spirit, which eventually takes control of her. Sherry then stabs an EMT who is trying to restrain her. Numerous electrical explosions, with sparks, white noise, and other electrical phenomena. |
