So if I am reading the above descriptions correctly...in this movie, a witch sodomizes a dead baby with a tree branch? Or violates it in some way? When you add that to the fact that this movie was heavily endorsed and distributed by the Church of Satan, I think I'll pass. That's just too much, IMO. I could see how hipsters and liberals would love it though since it's so edgy and dark and in-your-face. To each his own.
*An unbaptized baby. That's important to the ceremony. As a liberal hipster I know this first hand.
Kidding aside, as others have said there is no baby sodomy scene, but besides that you may be doing yourself a disservice. The Witch did a really great job of not mocking or looking down on the family's rigid Christian beliefs. It could've also easily made the patriarch a cliched fire and brimstone nutcase but instead he is a resolute devout man that adores his family and tries his best in the bleak situation. And finally, if anything I believe those with a more religious background as you appear to be would get an even better experience watching it. The themes and dread of damnation are more literal to you than it would to those without that background.
Of course I have no idea why I typed all that out when you probably have no intention of ever watching it.
