There are 2 rape scenes, one of which is repeated throughout the movie whenever Billy is reminded of it. There are also several other sexual assault scenes. Both rape scenes are on screen with partial nudity, are quite long scenes, and they both have blood shown. There are also sex scenes throughout that aren't assault related

The entire plot of this movie centers around someone who witnessed his parents murder and then becomes a killer, so it's to an extreme.

The head nun abuses Billy by hitting him with a belt, tying him up to a bed, and forces him to sit on Santa’s lap when he clearly was terrified.

Nah Billy just gives a kid a bloody box cutter because she was good. It does like look he was about to kill the child through. Also a scene in the beginning has a guy dressed up as Santa tried to kill a young Billy but he escaped and the guy completely ignores Billy’s baby brother.

Billy suffers from severe PTSD from witnessing his parents' murder at the hands of a man dressed as Santa Claus. This going untreated is what leads to his own killing spree.

Quite a bit. Including sexual assault. And just generally a lot of gratuitous nudity. Spoiler:
Sex is very much treated like it’s a “naughty” reason for “punishment” by Billy so it often immediately precedes a kill and leads to the kills involving a lot of sexual content and nudity.
