You don't see every living thing on the planet die on screen though. So I don't recall any dogs dying onscreen, or the death of an individual dog discussed or implied.

The spectacle of brutal murder is a key part of the plot in this movie. However, it is largely a satirical critique of such portrayals.

Not gaslighted, but very heavily manipulated, including use of drugs to change characters' behaviour without their consent.

I could swear there used to be a b********y trigger but since I can’t find it… there’s a disturbing scene where a character makes out with a taxidermy wolf head on a dare. The wolf is dead (obviously) but since there is no b********y trigger, I don’t know where else to put this.

A single horse shows up at one point very briefly, it is the main subject of the scene but it's never harmed nor does it appear distressed

(SPOILER) the horse does kill a person on purpose, though.

(VERY SPOILER) and the horse has a unicorn horn, with which it stabs a person.

A character is called a wh*re several times and is referred to almost entirely by 'the wh*re' by a group of people in the film. There are no other cases of hate speech and no slurs are used in the film.

They mention sex a lot and at one point find a two way mirror that allows a dude to see into a girls room as she's undressing. He stops looking but gross all the same. Plus a sex scene with two characters later.

A woman unbuttons her shirt, breasts visible as she's about to have sex with her boyfriend.

Early on, when the group arrives at the cabin, one guy gets shirtless in front of the double sided mirror. When he begins to take off his pants, the girl on the other side of the mirror quickly covers up the mirror.

Virginity is mentioned twice in this film, discussed in subtext as a horror trope.

No, but one of the guy's expresses his discomfort in the cellar and wants the others to stop reading the creepy diary but his concerns and fears are brushed aside and his paranoia later on is blamed on him doing weed earlier.

Actions and behaviours by the main characters are shown to be influenced by outside forces. At the end, the characters learn that the events of the movie were orchestrated to follow a particular design, suggesting that their lives are predestined.
