When one lead leaves the hotel room, a character is chained up outside.

Also, multiple characters are handcuffed or bodily restrained.

There is no full on SA but there is an uncomfortable scene that alludes to the possibility of it (when Grace wakes up to a brownie on the side table in the motel). But it doesn't happen.

When a character is dying in a family car they appear to convulse, but I don't think it's a seizure.

Agree, 2007 is totally safe. The Family father who is lying on the back seat is spitting blood due to his injuries. About 32 min. Not triggering at all.
