Sex & Nudity

None.

Violence & Gore

Rated R for intense sequences of horror and violence

A glass pane atop a runaway truck decapitates a man.

A priest is impaled by a church spire struck by lightning.

A disturbing death where a woman hangs herself.

Three more less graphic deaths in the film involving stabbing, shooting and defenestration. Also, the attempted brutal violence towards children should be considered as well.

Profanity

None

Mild consumption of alcohol

Several scary and intense sequences of horror

Demonic and suspenseful-sounding music throughout most of the film.
