THE PORTRAIT is a US psychological horror film in which a woman takes her husband to his family home to recover his memory following an accident and becomes obsessed with a portrait that bears a remarkable resemblance to him.

violence
During a darkly lit scene, a supernaturally-possessed man uses a bladed weapon to slash and stab his wife. There are also crunchy and impactful blows, resulting in bloody aftermath detail.
threat and horror
There are unsettling and pervasive scenes of threat throughout, including ‘jump scares’ and figures appearing in the background. A woman experiences hallucinations and unsettling visions, casting doubt over whether they are of a supernatural nature or in the character’s psyche.
language
Occasional strong language ('f**k') occurs, as well as milder terms such as 'shit', 'dick', 'Jesus', 'God' and 'fricking'.
sex
A couple have sex, and there is a scene of implied masturbation.
sexual violence and sexual threat
It is implied that a woman is raped by an unseen assailant in the shower, however, this lacks detail. Flashback sequences depict a man dragging his housekeeper by her hair into a secluded forest where it is implied he rapes her. There are also verbal references to sexual violence.
injury detail
A character discovers a heavily blood-stained man with extensive injuries around his eye socket. There is sight of brain matter on a car window in the aftermath of an car accident.
additional issues
A woman smokes a cannabis joint, however, this is infrequent. Drug misuse is not condoned by the work as a whole. A character suffers a brain injury following an accident, resulting in loss of memory and speech. There is also a brief and infrequent reference to suicide.
