ReportDDD Official Review
There’s a taxidermied dog and a cat gets its tail cut off but survives. So the animals fare ok but, boy howdy, the humans have it rough. There are nine instances of vomit but it only gets worse from there. A major theme is domestic violence and they show a kid getting sucker punched by an adult. There are not one but two teeth damaging scenes and five cannibalism scenes. There are dead children.
There’s only one jump-scare but this isn’t that type of movie. This is gross-out horror at its finest. It’s almost like the creators were trying to show off their makeup and special effects skills. Bravo.
Synopsis
Following the death of their father, a brother and sister are introduced to their new sibling by their foster mother, only to learn that she has a terrifying secret.

Not abandoned in a typical way but the cat who is harmed does not receive medical care and goes missing. It isn’t looked after after its injury and no one seems to care or focus on it

An abusive foster mother is the main villain though most abuse is emotional and supernatural not physical or sexual, and mentions of a physically abusive father but nothing shown of that.!

The brother is abused by his father as a child and hits his sister when he is eight. This happens years before the movie and the brother regrets his actions and has loving relationship with his sister during the film.

I would say the main character stalks both the kids because she watched both of them on their sleep with ill intentions and looks at their phones against their will as well as the one of the children is blind so she moves stealthily around her and watches her

No, a woman is hung as part of a ritual to bring back a soul. People are there but it’s not for “spectacle”. It’s a ritual that required a sacrifice.
This trigger is mainly used for things like men enthusiastically cheering while a woman is sexually assaulted, beaten, or tortured. That does not happen here.

So, Laura kills herself at the end, there's no if ands or buts about that one, but I also think whatever is piloting Connor gives up the ghost at the end and steps outside of the circle not knowing if either of them are actually going to survive it considering what happened earlier, which I view as a suicide. Connor probably gets medical attention after the film, but whatever else was in his body is gone.

Heavily distorted VHS footage, with sudden flashes of static (some of it consistently flashy so recommend only looking at freeze frames if curious) featured during following timestamps:
(00:00:15-00:00:45) flashes of possessed faces intercut with ritual scene - a woman in a circle, a body in a sleeping bag, someone being hanged
(00:18:55-00:19:20) Laura is reviewing the earlier VHS footage on television, glimpses of figures including a naked man creating the circle
(00:45:15-00:46:10) Laura fast-forwards through the VHS, there are several glimpses of a possessed face
(01:00:55-01:02:10) Laura and Oliver watching the VHS - footage shows person being hanged, a face being eaten with subtitle "Consume The Old Body", another face being vomited into with subtitle "Purge Soul Into New Body", finally a family 'reunion'
In final minutes, light from passing train carriages creates a flashing effect (01:36:40-01:37:00).
Flashing police car lights visible in background (01:37:20-01:37:25).

Sort of. It's not a child and the end result is unclear. But the visual might trigger something . More details below.
SPOILERS:
The 8yr boy is carrying the soul of the mom's deceased daughter in his stomach, in order to "bring her back" and he has visually got a distended stomach. He gets hit and vomits up something. Not sure if it is the soul but the visual might be upsetting to someone who is sensitive to this.

At the beginning, a group of girls mocks a character's vision impairment. There are also two incidents where other characters ask why the visually-impaired character does not use a cane, but they are respectful of her not wanting to use one.

At the funeral, Laura mentions to Andy that some religions believe the spirit stays in the body for months. It’s the way she gets him to look at his dad for the final time.
