violence
A person is struck with a hammer, resulting in strong aftermath images of blood pooling under their head as they die. In another scene, a man says that when he was a child his father used to tape up his mouth and make him stand out in the cold for hours, wearing only his underwear; it is strongly implied that his father intended to sacrifice him to a supernatural entity.
threat and horror
There are sustained and unsettling scenes of supernatural threat and occasional ‘jump scare’ moments as characters gradually fall under the influence of a malevolent force. In a disturbing sequence, a woman breastfeeds a fantastical being that has taken the form of an animal.
language
There is infrequent use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘bugger’, ‘Jesus’ and ‘God’.
sex
A man is seen thrusting on top of a woman in bed, without visible nudity, during a strong scene of sex.
injury detail
A person experiences a vision featuring close-up images of bloody internal organs. There are brief bloody images in the aftermath of an off-screen stabbing. A pony is found injured and distressed after a boy gouges its eye with a stick off screen, leaving a bleeding wound.
theme
There are upsetting scenes in which parents mourn the death of their young child. Other scenes contain references to mental health, when parents express concern over their child's recent aggressive and violent behaviour.
