Kinda tough to answer this one. There is somewhat excessive violence done to the female characters but I wouldn’t say it is sexualized or done purely for shock value. Although I did feel like the two young female characters got the more “drawn out” horror sequences… So, this will be subjective.
Near the beginning of the film, a hand bursts out of a grave and roughly grabs a dog. You don't see it die, but you see it later, having returned from the dead.
At (11:25) a car is driving and a bird hits the windshield. It's also a jump scare moment. A flashback of this same moment takes place later in the film at (37:29)
At (16:28) a dead deer is shown hanging in a garage.
At (22:52) a dead dog is shown. It is very graphic. The dogs owner is standing beside it with blood dripping from his hands. Its shown briefly a couple more times while a conversation takes place. Skip forward to (25:09) to avoid seeing this.
During a scene depicting the history of the burial ground there are numerous dead animals shown. Starting at (45:35) a few dead birds are shown tied to strings hanging from wooden posts in the animal burial grounds. More birds like this are shown at (45:55 and 46:10) Skip forward from (45:35 - 46:15) to avoid this.
At (46:42 - 47:52) a man is seen eating an unidentifiable animal carcass as well as a human carcass.
*It may be easier to look away from the screen from (45:35 - 47:52) and only listen to the audio so you can still hear the background story that explains the history of the land.*
At (50:18 - 50:52) a man is shown eating an unidentifiable animal carcass.
At (1:01:14) an animal carcass is shown very briefly hanging from a rope
At (1:02:45) a bucket of dead rats is shown very briefly
*I believe this accounts for every dead animal shown in this film*
While the hanging is never seen, the audience sees a noose in the villains home as well as the scar around his neck from his "first" death and rope in the cellar. The act is never shown but heavily and visually implied.
just watched it, no v* or gagging. there is blood dripping out of somebody’s mouth at one point but it wasn’t too bad. (i regret watching the movie though, it was horribly written lol)
Not in the exact words but a character states their intention to sacrifice themself. The context of the statement is equal parts suicide and heroism... (Minor spoilers) The character’s child is possessed and must be killed. As a parent, they feel that they should die with their child, while helping the others escape.
The movie delves into Mi’kmaq lore. I’m not familiar enough to say with 100% certainty whether it’s misrepresentation. Hopefully someone with more familiarity will be able to give a more educated response but for now this is a placeholder to warn folks that the “Indian burial ground” trope is present and indigenous symbols and imagery are used throughout.
There is something that looks like demonic possession but the entity is not necessarily a demon (the origin of the entity is unknown, in the book they call it a wendigo). Marking “yes” because it’s close enough.
Like many horror films, a ton of characters die and there are only a few survivors. The ending of the film itself isn’t so bad (as horror film endings go) but I am marking “yes” here because it’s a prequel and we know that the evil entity isn’t defeated and will go on to take many victims.
Lots of shooting. At one point, guns are handed out to several characters, and people are shot with gory results. One character is impaled through the chest with a rifle.
