hi!! For the movie thing... what type of violence? I havent seen it and im just a bit worried about it triggering me. im so sorry <3
That’s an excellent question; my warnings there were kind of vague. I couldn’t quite remember the specifics, so I did a quick re-watch. Here’s a more complete list of potentially upsetting things that the The Occult Experience contains:
Screaming, crying, some weird monster-y noises
General spookiness - artwork of skeletons, beasts, even some art from the Alien franchise (?? I swear to god, I’m not joking).
Nudity: I forgot how much there was, and there’s a decent amount - nothing full frontal, but if you’ve ever wanted to see Janet Farrar’s boobs for some reason, now’s your chance, I guess?
Mentions of spiritual pregnancy and childbirth
A dude who seems a bit too happy with the fact that nazis were into the occult
Violence/physical harm: fire-eating, putting pins in a man’s face, rolling on broken glass, someone’s arm being gently whipped once with a flogger (as a demonstration of kind but firm leadership, I think?)
An intense born-again Christian group performing exorcisms on folks (but it sort of painted them as being the weird ones, so that’s cool)
Period-typical white shamanism, heteronormative stuff, etc
(Also, the film is Australian in origin, if that’s helpful to you in any way, haha.)
So, there you go! I hope that’s specific enough to be helpful.
