Some no votes indicate that because one woman who is gaslit is psychotic and the other is gaslit into a "loving" partner, that it didn't phase them. But there definitely is gaslighting.

I was surprised there were multiple "yes" votes to this. I assume it's because there are tranquilizers shot at people. You do not see anyone administer drugs to themselves.

Yes, in the opening scene. Don't make the same mistake I did and think the rest of the movie gets better or in any way makes up for it. Trust me, it just goes downhill from there.

Brief moment where two unenthusiastic employees simulate rape in an on-stage presentation (they're fully clothed but male drops his trousers). It's unsettling that the film plays this for comedy.

Part of a montage that intercuts scenes depicting a forced sexual situation (woman gyrates on the main character after he asks her not to) and a character's hand being burned in a toaster as punishment.

People are threatened with something called “the red intercourse”. A similar punishment, “the red kiss” involves two people having their lips mutilated and being forced to kiss each other

The main character must dig his own grave. He gets in it and slightly covers himself with dirt, but is not fully buried.

Yes and no. In this world, many of the animals used to be people, and people still eat meat. So there isn't any graphic depiction of cannabalism, but there is meat-eating where the meat is likely people.

Although no one says his leg is broken, we hear a loner get trapped in a snap trap and then he is told to figure out how to escape.

Several instances. Man's hand is placed in live toaster. Man is held at gunpoint while wife is gagged in a chair. Another woman is punched repeatedly in slow motion. Lots of off-screen torture described. Bottom line, be prepared for it.

We see bandaged mouths with a fairly gruesome story as to what happened. Also a woman's face is shown being punched and while we don't see her teeth take any damage, we see her mouth and teeth are bloody.

The scene where the dog dies is a violent jump.
Most traumatic and worst images ever filmed. There is a murder that is rather fast and unexpected.

Two characters in two scenes lie in an open shallow grave in the woods. They are not buried alive but it can trigger clautrophobia, I think.

I'm not typically triggered by this, but I WAS HORRIFIED by the self harm scene in this movie. I can't unsee it. If you find yourself to be even a little sensitive to this, skip the movie. YOU ARENT MISSING ANYTHING.

SPOILER: In the sense that the happiest ending possible is that the lead stabs himself in both eyes with a steak knife so he can be with the woman he loves in a very sick world, I consider it to be a solidly sad ending.
