There are a couple of moments that are nearing excessive gore towards the end, but they are very brief and fake looking due to the CGI effects of the time and general fantastical vibe of the movie.

A man holds a gun to his head and c***s it, because he believes becoming a ghost is the only way to fight an entity

Part of the story revolves around a character who was in a sexual relationship when she was underage (15). There is a scene of implied sex in the director's cut, toward the end in the hospital. Also, in the cemetery scene, Dammers mentions being sexually abused in the past in the director's cut.

Nobody is tortured in the movie but it does talk about past torture. If you want to avoid this but still watch the movie i would skip the first scene with the character Milton Dammers (played by Jeffrey Combs) and another scene when he drives to a graveyard.

There are mentions of ritualistic cannibalism in the director's cut for Milton Dammers' scene in the cemetery, and implications of self cannibalism.

No, but there's a guy with scars that were intentional as they're in the shape of religious symbols etc.

A ghost stands in his grave and is fearful of being buried under the dirt that is being shoveled in, as it would seem ghosts are not fully intangible / unable to climb out of a hole in the ground. He is eventually helped out of his hole.

Into a fence into someone's yard, and a car sliding off the road down a cliff. There are a several flashbacks to this event. Plenty of destructive driving and crashing by the main character, past and present.

Ghosts shoot other ghosts and entities with ghostly guns. Live human cops and a government agent aim guns and shoot them at a civilian suspected of murder. Characters shoot at people they are chasing. One person is shot in the chest and another the head, it is shown but the dated effects make it not as disturbing.
