Summary: Depictions of dead and dying animals.
Details:
1) The nice pet dog is found dead, 15:55-16:06, cued by the little girl screaming. No blood, gore, or close-ups.
2) A pigeon crashes into the house and convulses with a broken neck, 24:40-24:50.
3) A crow smashes half-way through a house window and becomes stuck in the broken glass. The idea is violent but no injury is depicted.
The Conjuring has a very low level of animal violence, no sexual content, adult language, or any real blood or gore to speak of. It also is one of the only truly scary horror films I’ve seen in a long time, thanks largely to a near absence of CGI effects, which usually are that other kind of scary.
The featurette A Life in Demonology interviews the real people on which the film’s story is based, and is enjoyable and informative.
