Probably not but there is unclear reasons for murders, possibly human sacrifice. In a dream sequence a character is being cooked on a giant barbecue.

Gets burned in a house, but lives - don’t see the burning, just the aftermath in burnt, tarnished clothes. Nothing bloody or unsightly.

SPOILER ALERT: The last ten minutes of the movie involve the doctor trying to murder Ray by using a needke; although there is a fight, the needle is never used. You see the doctor filling the needle with something, but it never touches skin.

There’s a neighbor woman in the movie who is kinda portrayed as a “trophy wife” and plays a role of the hot wife that all the neighbor men gawk at. Additionally, the women/wives in the movie are portrayed as “wet blankets” to every situation the neighbor dudes get themselves into and the men having to sneak around them so they don’t try to take them away from family time or vacations. So, some subtle sexism-esque situations. As a woman it was irritating, but I could remember the time it was filmed in and still got some laughs from it (again, the ridiculousness of it for it’s time too lol).
