A chihuhua is very, very scared and defensive around 33 minutes in. It is trying to protect its owners from a violent person. It may not disturb others, but it disturbed me!!

Ellison (the father) purposefully drops a box on top of a scorpion he sees in the attic. It shows something that looks like smushed scorpion when he lifts up the box. But it happens very quickly and is obviously not real (you're not allowed to hurt animals or insects or spiders/scorpions for any reason in film anymore THANK GOD).

The first big scare happens at like the 24 minute mark. When you see a box in a doorway.
Most of the movie is really tame jumpscare wise. Mostly loud bangs and characters popping in suddenly.

The main character is frequently seen drinking and watching disturbing videos, but he never gets ill from either. There is foaming at the mouth at the end of the movie. Not terribly graphic. You can see it coming and it's easy to look away.

Not bad at all, mostly just blood on the walls. The goriest scene is the throat cutting. They cut away from the gore a lot, like a woman gets run over by a lawn mower but it’s all implied and never shown.

No but there’s a regular explosion of a car that kills several people.

A family is tied to lawn chairs and pulled into a pool. They can be seen struggling, but no audio.
