I would say no, not on screen, though there is a woman who believes her family is about to come pick her up after a Christmas trip when it's clear to the audience that they aren't.

Pretty graphically. The main antagonist forces himself on a man in bed while he struggles to get away, and later in the film undresses a woman who can't get him to stop.

Assaulted, yes. Raped- no. He aggressively touches another man's groin as an assault. It is an awful sexual assault, but not a rape. There are several other s.a.'s of the same sickening manor, the assaults grow with intensity as the main character 's psycopathy rages. They are all just disgusting, but none of them are actual rape.
However, they will make you feel like you've witnessed several actual R scenes. I wish I hadn't watched this movie.

Not in the textbook way, but almost everyone in this movie is being held hostage by a sexual assaulting psychopath who terrorizes them every single night. He also takes several people out of the facility or out of their rooms against their will.

Yes - once the main character has his own urine poured over him by the antagonist, and later a puddle of urine is seen under a dead man. The antagonist is also seen peeing into a bush, and the protagonist into a portable urinal.

The main character's POV is unreliable for almost the entire movie as he struggles with brain damage from a stroke - but there is a particular scene that shows this in which he is tested for cognitive ability and is shown drawing a perfect clock, but when it is revealed to the doctor, it is lopsided and running off the page.
