36 minutes in the dog bites and runs off with a kid. You will notice the camera focused on the dog multiple shots before. At 40 minutes in you'll want to fast forward. Dog is seem laying on ground still alive but shot. Is then shot again and killed. Entire movie has good realistic effects that are hard to watch with the animal scenes.

Not in any intentional way, but parents and children both are possessed or killed by the possessed.

No. The yes answers are probably referring to a main character violates his restraining order to warn them about the evil, but its clear he's not stalking them and the order was not due to stalking either.

Verbal altercations between two parents are had in front of kids, but I wouldn't say it's domestic violence.

No, but there's a lot of Cassandra trope in it, meaning the person with the correct knowledge is not believed.

The goat is killed at 27:17, Shudder time. It's obvious when it's going to happen.
The dog is first shott at 40:16. You hear the gunshot then seconds later, see the dog in a heap but from far away. Camera comes in closer but still a distance away. A hazing filter is used over the dog so you don't see details anyway. At 40:35, the dog is shot again at close range. This time you see the dog's body react to the shot.

There's also a dog limping earlier in the movie by the road, you see the car pull in fast but luckily the dog was out of the way but it should be noted.

Several scenes that would fall under this category. This includes a “rotten” AKA demon-possessed obese, bloated man in his underwear who is shown on a bed covered head-to-toe with oozing pus and sores and boils, eyes almost swollen out of their sockets. He looks inhuman, rotting, and revolting.

Lots of head violence, the most notable being a woman scooping the brains out of a dead child's corpse she's carrying. While "squashed" isn't the exact correct definition, if you're upset by cranial trauma, then this movie certainly falls under the umbrella.

A man who at some point become possessed is left to essentially rot in a bed for a year because the government doesn't do anything about it. Not typical torture, but still torture.

Yes, but not really in the typical sense.
Spoilers:
There is a very ill man who leaks pus/fluid from his mouth, mostly in the beginning of the film.
Near the very end of the film a man gags a boy to try to get him to regurgitate whatever he seems to be choking on, so there is gagging and puke like noises but it's less puking and more the man pulling bloody hair and stuff out of the boys mouth.
There might be some more instances along these lines, but there was no outright puking.

Autistic person here. I don't believe autism is misrepresented. Our neurodivergent minds do process things differently, and so it stands to reason that if one of us were possessed, it would be a different experience. Misrepresentation isn't what's going on here. There was no mockery or hatred towards autism, just a different slant as to how possession might affect the autistic mind. I hope that's helpful to some.

I wouldn't say it's abuse, or at least not intentional abuse. The father of an autistic child is very rough with the child, but this isn't done to abuse it's done because the father is panicking. A demon speaks to the child's father as well and says that he essentially made a broken child.
