At 1:02-1:03 a character is looking around through a night-vision camera and you see a glimpse of what looks like a dead wolf. It doesn't die during the movie and it's in a pile of other bones of animals and people.

MASSIVE SPOILERS:

There is a dead moose in the forest on their way to the caves. It’s covered in maggots and looks pretty fake.

In the cave, they encounter a cavern full of bones and find what looks like a wolf or some kind of dog. It also looks quite fake.

Nothing is shown to suffer or die on screen.

This was hard to say yes or no, it’s subjective. There are humanoid creatures that eat humans. But as someone who has a hard time with cannabalism, I say yes. It’s a bit gory and graphic at parts.

One of the girls is holding a rope when it slips through her hand really fast. It cuts her hand open. It isn't too graphic when it happens, but when she looks at it, it is an open wound that leaks blood.

Near the beginning, once the girls are all together at the cabin, one of the girls hops in the shower and screams. It's not violent and there isn't nudity or anything. I think it is just foreshadowing what is to come.

Throughout the film, there are many moments where water falls down the cave. It ranges from only drops, to looking like rain.

There is also a pool of blood, that kind of looks like oil, at the bottom of the cave in a scene. Sarah falls in it at one point and has to hide in it, and also escape from it.

There are also lost of puddles of water.

There is also a pit of water that Juno has to swim through at one point. She has to briefly fight a monster, but eventually swims away.
