THE DARK AND THE WICKED is a US horror film in which two siblings return to their family home to help care for their ailing parents, soon suspect something evil at work.

suicide and self-harm
Fraught characters harm themselves and take their own lives in several scenes, some with strong detail.
injury detail
Some scenes contain bloody, gory images (e.g. a woman chops off her own fingers with a kitchen knife). In another scene, a woman gouges her own eyes with knitting needles in an impressionistic, yet bloody, fashion. It is implied that a woman has murdered her children with a knife before slitting her own throat. There is a scene depicting the aftermath of a massacre of a herd of sheep, with some bloody detail.
additional issues
There are sustained scenes of strong horror as humans are possessed and haunted by a demonic entity. There are frequent jump scares as shadowy figures appear in the darkness and unsourced sounds are heard. There is strong language ('f**k'), accompanied by other milder terms, including 'shit', 'Jesus', 'Christ', 'God', 'hell' and 'damn'.
