THE POSSESSED is an Australian horror film in which an uncle and nephew work together to exorcise demons from their local community, until one arrives that is more powerful than all the others.

threat and horror
Scenes of horror include evil demons possessing characters, distorting their appearance and altering their behaviour. Dark spirits are seen entering and exiting bodies. Characters are restrained in order to exorcise demons from them. In one scene, a man opens his mouth to reveal a small demon attached to his tongue. There are frequent sequences of threat as the demonic entities come to life and attack humans.
language
There is use of strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker') as well as milder terms such as 'bitch', 'shit', 'arsehole', 'crap', 'hell', 'Jesus' and 'Christ'.
suicide and self-harm
It is quickly established that a woman, suffering with depression and possessed by a demon, has attempted suicide and there is sight of a blood filled bath as well as bloody bandages on her wrists. It is said later that this was not her first suicide attempt.
injury detail
There is frequent sight of injuries and bloody wounds inflicted by demonic beings. A possessed woman writes threatening messages in blood on a wall. Another moment sees blood gushing from under a woman's nightdress down her legs.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
additional issues
A woman describes how her possessed father strangled her mother when she was a child. There are brief verbal references to rape, drug misuse and murder. Scenes include moderate sex references.
