There is a scene where a man commits suicide by pushing himself off a building while holding his little dog, but when he lands it is VERY obvious that they used a stuffed dog toy to create the "dead dog." It's so apparent it that it makes it watchable as it doesn't even convincingly look like a dead dog.

Within the first 10 minutes he hallucinates an ant crawling under and breaking free from his skin. Then we are shown ants covering his face and crawling into to his mouth. This lasts a good few seconds, though his movement blurs the ants somewhat.
Wish I'd have known this going in.

It's portrayed in a kind of comedic way, but at the beginning it is shown that the lead character is an alcoholic. He is at the police station because he got into a brawl while drunk and subsequently misses his kid's birthday.

The beginning of the film is mostly torture. Dae Su is kidnapped and kept captive in a room for 15 years without human contact and administered drugs to have horrible hallucinations. The antagonist is playing a mental game with him the entire film. There is a scene where Dae Su uses a hammer to pry out a person's teeth to get info.

A lot of gore all throughout the movie - torture scenes, teeth pulled out, stabbing, graphic self injury etc. Most are VERY lingering, uncomfortably long scenes and let you stew in it for one long take instead of cutting away.

40 minutes in to the film, the main character immobilizes another character with duct tape and removes his teeth with a hammer.

The entire first section of the film is set in a prison, with the intro featuring the character narrowly squeezed into a gap

While imprisoned, Dae-su is seen twice laying on the floor with blood staining the carpet under his wrists.
Later we see a man holding a dog on the edge of a roof top (in a later scene, it's made clear the man jumps, though this is in the background)
