Our take
A cursed board game pulls a couple into possession and deception in this US R horror reboot. Jump scares, demonic imagery, strong profanity, and occult violence sit in a classic horror register. ClearAge leans toward mature fans around 16.
Story (may spoil tone)

Early on, guns come out and people are shot and killed, while the cursed board story drives ritual-style murders. Occult attacks keep the threat going across the whole film, not just one scare beat

Panic and arguments are packed with the f-word, plus motherf***er, the s-word, and the b-word. The swearing is wall-to-wall adult talk in an R horror register

Topless dancing shows up at a party, and a brief intimate beat brings kissing and foreplay. The nudity is short. Even so, the sexual content reads clearer than a throwaway flirt line

At a dealer-hosted party, someone restrained faces a heroin injection attempt. Wine and casual drug talk show up too. That injection attempt is the hard line for parents

Throughout the film, possession, demonic dread, and jump scares keep coming. Fear stays supernatural and steady across the runtime. One isolated fright moment would not cover it

A meat slicer chops off a hand in a kitchen accident, and later horror beats show severed hands and a bloody face injury. Blood and weapon threat are built into the scare design. You get more than a quick smear of blood

A funeral comes up in passing while people argue about what happened. Mourning itself does not drive the feelings. Horror deaths carry that weight instead
