Mia, a young woman struggling with sobriety, heads to a remote cabin with a group of friends where the discovery of a Book of the Dead unwittingly summon up dormant demons which possess the youngsters one-by-one.
This movie contains 80 potentially triggering events.
Beloved family dog found whimpering in pain, having hidden himself away to suffer and die horribly. His head is a bloody mess. In flashback, revealed that his brains were bashed in with a hammer by a trusted family member, presumably after he friendily approached her. He dies in physical pain and emotional confusion. Absolutely gut-wrenching and wholly unnecessary.
Mia is being tortured by the demon and not believed, her friends think she’s just trying to get them to take her away from the cabin. Mia acts like she’s fine and no longer possessed to get David and Natalie to let her out of the basement (she is definitely still possessed)
a car falls on top of Mia's hand and she has to pull it off. also, erick's hand gets pretty graphically broken by a crowbar and his fingers kinda go everywhere. also he gets stabbed in the hand by both needles and nails.
Demon backs off to let their victim wake up with a plastic bag over her head before taking control of her again. After regaining control the demon struggles to breathe loudly as a scare tactic.
One hand just gets mauled apart by a crowbar, another gets shot off by a shotgun. Someone's hand gets trapped under a car and they have to rip their hand off to get free. Its more arm/wrist mutilation but I'm not sure where else to put this.
When the blonde girl goes to wash off her hand after she is bitten, her hand has holes in it from the bite wound. Blood oozes out of the holes and it is pretty gross.
First scene: Happens when Mia is walking outside towards the beginning of the movie while one guy is reciting something from the book out loud Second scene: Happens later in the movie when possessed Mia holds down a girl and projectile vomits blood onto her.
Syringes are used medically but there is also a graphic scene where a character is repeatedly stabbed violently with a syringe. If this is a trigger for you it will be pretty scary.
Possessed characters mutilate themselves because they’re controlled by demons.
For example, a character amputates their own arm with an electric knife. They make no attempt to dress the wound or save their own life. They eventually die.
Brother shoots a can of gas with buckshot to explode the cabin him and the host of the demon are in to purify the demon's host. I see it more as a sacrifice because he wasn't depressed or wanting to die but I understand how it could be triggering and seen as suicide.
The first death is NOT a black character, actually. The opening has a white character die burning alive. However, the first of the main cast to die IS in fact the only POC.
There is no actual incest but a possessed girl tells her brother to get down in the basement so she can suck his dick, thankfully he recoils in disgust.
The end is a triumphant moment, but almost everyone died in horrible ways by that point. The one surviving character endured unfathomable trauma and they’re left all alone in the woods.
