After years of performing “exorcisms” and taking believers’ money, Reverend Marcus travels to rural Louisiana with a film crew so he can dispel what he believes is the myth of demonic possession. The dynamic reverend is certain that this will be another routine “exorcism” on a disturbed religious fanatic but instead comes upon the blood-soaked farm of the Sweetzer family and a true evil he would have never thought imaginable.
This movie contains 60 potentially triggering events.
Since nobody here can be clear... The cat scene is at 50:40. The cat is repeatedly struck with the camera itself. You don't see much except some red smears on the camera lens and hear the cat yowling twice, however it is disturbing so skip ahead to 51:02 if you don't wish to see it.
50:33-51:35: a cat is killed on screen, followed by the sound of other barnyard animals in distress. A (fake) dead cow is shown towards the beginning of the movie but no other animal violence is shown.
YES — deceased animals are shown as they arrive on the farm and a cat loses its life onscreen in an extremely violent manner at the 49 minute mark, it ends completely by 52 minutes.
There is no confirmed pedophilia.
[SPOILERS]
It's not confirmed if:
1) the father has done anything to Nell
2) the pastor has done anything to Nell or any kids at the parties he's hosted
3) the demon impregnated Nell (could be seen as pedophilia since demons are very old?? idk)
no person is. a doll is seemingly drowned/waterboarded during a possession episode. there are baby crying sounds before that that could make someone believe they are seeing a real baby being held under water.
Mentioned. A father cannot accept that his daughter willingly lost her virginity to a boy, so he yells at her that she was raped. It is strongly implied that a 16 year old girl was raped by her pastor. Some characters also question whether or not the father was raping his daughter (he was not).
there are moments people are filmed/watched by the film crew/pastor before they are approached, but it's not under an intention of stalking or done with malice.
No. Nell sometimes makes sexual comments or does sexually suggestive things while possessed, but the film does not sexualise her in any way. It is supposed to be disturbing and grotesque.
