Parents should know
Moderate scary or upsetting scenes: a woman appears possessed, with a scene of her bed lifting. A classic psychological thriller about a woman's dissociative identity disorder in a 'haunted' mansion; critics call it frightening and tense rather than graphic, with a rationalist husband and a backstory murder. Also moderate violence and mild sexual content.
