The father (a known alcoholic) comes home drunk at about an hour in, and storms through the house yelling at his family for keeping the lights on in the house. His wife and the kids huddle together in a locked room, and he breaks down the door yelling.
He is eventually talked down , but it is uncomfortable to watch.

A character hallucinates himself putting his hands into maggots/rotting flesh (with a close-up shot), characters find a hidden box in an attic surrounded by creepy crawlies, and hallucinations of crabs are shown in a hospital that (at least to me) appeared to be insects at first.

I'm not sure if this can be considered a SPOILER. It happens in the very beginning of the movie and it is relevant to the plot. Knowing this before hand likely will not ruin the movie (but a panic attack will definitely ruin the movie, I know this from experience with this film). PLEASE READ IF YOU HAVE A VOMIT PHOBIA, particularly if your phobia stems from MOTION SICKNESS.

You can easily skip this scene without missing much, but you do need to know why this scene was included because it's important later.

*****POTENTIAL SPOILERS begin now.*****

The film opens with a mother driving her teenage son home from a round of chemo. They live several hours from the hospital. I'm sure most people know that riding in a car makes nausea worse, even if you don't have motion sickness.

This scene is intended to show why the family chose to move closer to the hospital and this information is important. They are good parents so they didn't want to put him through the agony of making this trip repeatedly. That's how they wound up in the house where the film takes place.

There are no more scenes with vomiting following the first few minutes. So just fast forward or leave the room until the long drive scene is over and you'll be good. It was actually a great movie and I do recommend it.

***QUICK ANECDOTE ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS FILM***
I'm a paramedic on an ambulance so this scene shouldn't have triggered me so badly (I've spent countless hours trapped in a moving vehicle with patients sicker than this kid). But the combination of the long drive and serious nausea really set me off. I wish I had known that the first scene was the only vomit scene because I spent the rest of the movie worrying when they were going to pepper in more super relatable vomit.

However, my emetophobia was severe and came from a 3 day road trip while I had a stomach virus as a kid. I was so traumatized by this trip that I actually repressed the memory. So I'm not saying you'll for sure stress out as much as I did. You know yourself better than I know you.

A child hides in a dumbwaiter during hide and seek, and turns to find a spirit/corpse beside him. He yells and bangs on the door to be let out, but is unharmed when his older cousin finally opens the door.
Later, a character is attacked by an unseen force and is wrapped up/trapped in a shower curtain. She screams and the imprint of her face/body are shown, but she is able to tear away from it.

Flashing camera lights in the beginning, then after the 1 hour mark, there are a few intense scenes with the screen rapidly flickering. There are many brief snapshots/flashbacks in this film.
Can be very hard on the eyes.
