This movie contains 43 potentially triggering events.
A young woman is given a lot of gifts and showered with affection. Treated like family. When in reality the people around her are manipulating and using her.
**Spoilers** Over and over, the main character is told she's overreacting or what she's experiencing is normal. But she's hallucinating and being used as an incubator for others. She's impregnated against her will and nearly coerced into keeping the child. Then, she's treated poorly when she "acts up" when she's just questioning reality.
Terry is drugged and impregnated in a satanic cerimony through an implied interpretive dance scene. The scenes are brief, uncomfortable, but not explicit.
Later in the film, Mr Marchand touches Terry’s stomach without her consent

No? Near the end of the film, a woman is seen in extreme pain and her hand moves wildly as if it could be being harmed. But it's not clear if her hand is actually hurt
(Spoilers) There is a scene where Terry goes to try to get an abortion, and they show the metal tools they are using and it looks painful. Nothing graphic is shown though.
No, but when Terry is doing laundry and she looks into a washing machine making a strange sound, she hallucinates seeing a dead baby spinning around with the clothes inside the machine.
No. But briefly during a phone call, it's alluded that the main character would need "constant observation" or something similar to being put into a mental institution. It does not happen
Be prepared after the main character says "Hail Sat*n" twice. She dances around the room and embraces one of her abusers. Look away after the hug for at least a minute. If you see her on a windowsill, definitely look away for at least a minute.

No. Not traditionally. However, there is a large age gap that was unconsentual and unknown until the very end.
**Spoilers spoilers** Early in the film, the main character is drugged and r*ped. She doesn't really understand the extent of the assault until the next day. It's assumed throughout the movie that the mid 20s/30s man was the person who impregnated her. It's revealed near the end of the film is the much older gentlemen who committed the assault. So the age gap is early 20s and mid 60s.
*Mild spoilers* Something sudden happens to an older woman during an action sequence. It's not initially explained why she goes comatose but later you find out it definitely wasn't a stroke & was the antagonists
No. However, an older woman tries to warn the main character she's being gaslighted and the antagonists blame it on her being old/out of her mind/having dementia. She does not.
Character is encouraged by others to keep her baby. She attempts an abortion but the baby prevents it from happening. The film itself is not anti-abortion.
But you could argue it was the best ending we could've gotten given the situation
** MAJOR spoilers **
Seriously this is a discussion of the end of the film so you can't really get more spoilers than this. Honestly, I think it's a sad ending overall. But Terry had a good last couple moments in her life. She got to dance and she stopped the cult from what they wanted - her child. It's very sad that Terry is gone, but maybe her death plus the death of Joanne will make younger women think twice about going into that building. However, someone could argue it's not a sad ending because it forced those people to waste their time and resources. Plus the young man working for them in dead so it will be much harder to lure women
