It’s coming from a place of denial and fear but a character does initially try to “rationalize” supernatural phenomenon and convince his friends that what they are seeing/hearing/experiencing is not real.

No, unless the animal we see strung up in a tree wasn't already dead when it was put there. We can't know how much it suffered.

In the beginning of the movie, someone gets fatal wounds to his head, and there's a pool of blood. I wouldn't say his head gets squashed (and I don't consider the scene gory). If someone else's head is squashed, I missed it.

There is lots of gore in the form of mutilated animals, gutted people, gored people
By horror movie standards it isn’t excessive. But to normal movie standards, it is shocking. If this is your first bloody movie, mentally prepare yourself for the audio that accompanies it

Yes the main character suffers from PTSD after watching his best friend die early on in the movie. He has nightmares and hallucinations caused by the monster about this event
The other characters treat him like it was his fault. The victim blaming can be triggering for some
