A SOUTHERN HAUNTING is a period US horror in which a family of former slaves seek the truth behind unsettling events in their new home, in the aftermath of the American Civil War.

threat and horror
There are sustained scenes of supernatural threat as a shadowy entity haunts a family's home, causing people to behave erratically. A man is left seemingly possessed after an encounter with this entity. Characters who were former slaves are chased and seen in chains; other characters' intimidating behaviour toward them sometimes has a racist motivation. There are scenes of knife threat.
injury detail
There is sight of blood in the aftermath of violence. Dead bodies are briefly seen hanging by the neck. There is repeated close-up sight of a decomposing corpse and bloody sight of rabbit carcasses.
additional issues
A black family is subjected to racist comments and attitudes by several white characters in the aftermath of the US civil war; these attitudes are condemned by the film. There are flashbacks to the family in chains when before they were freed from slavery. Characters are slashed and stabbed with knives, but impacts are hidden from view. A man restrains another with a chokehold. It is implied that a woman may have self-harmed when we see marks over her arms; this may be due to supernatural reasons. A man slaps his daughter in a brief moment of domestic abuse. There is moderate bad language ('bitch') as well as milder terms such as 'shit', 'ass', 'God', 'damn' and 'hell'.
