Not sure why people are voting yes. There were no dogs in this movie. A horse and a bat die, but no dogs.

A child comes across the corpse of his mother, murdered by his father. Severe psychological abuse is strongly implied as well.

*SPOILER* The mother is killed and the reasoning is implied to be that she was murdered for being "witch-adjacent." The child found her body and is severely traumatized by this

A horse dies slowly while it’s owner holds it. A bat is grabbed and killed for a witch’s ritual. A cardinal we were previously delighted by is crushed in a witch’s hand. A dead crow’s leg is cut off for another ritual.

At the very beginning of the movie there is a courtroom scene and someone is trapped in an iron frame. Right before this scene in there is a dungeon/prison scene where someone is being dragged by two policemen and then thrown down a pit.

Not completely squashed but there is a scene where after a beheading, the murderer takes a sword and impales the head to collect it, so it kind of squishes there.

There is a scene involving fire, but no one is burned alive in this movie. Additionally, it is set in 1799 so there are no cars. I think the previous commenter may be mistaking this film for a different production of Sleepy Hollow as there have been many iterations.

this is a subjective question, but yes there is blood and some gore. The blood is typically a candy apple red shade, which might help some folks who are more bothered by realistic blood which is much darker.

A woman cuts her hand - the scene is when a man is on top of her, so that's when you know to look away if it bothers you. There's also a flashback scene where a child stumbles and their hand accidentally lands on a spiked surface which causes blood to spurt out.
