This was the movie scene that made me find doesthedogdie. It was absolutely horrific, wildly unnecessary, and shook me for days. Maybe the worst movie watching moment I've ever had besides rape scenes

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.

Graphic description: a donkey is shot in the first scene of the movie. later on a pet which is actually a human being in a dog body is beaten to death. a character describes in detail the way the dog cried as it died and then you are shown the dog’s bleeding body for a long time. it’s really disgusting

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.

Yes, the dog of the main character (who is also the brother of the main character). Is is a cruel death involving torture and the dead body is shown for multiple seconds). Probably the most disturbing scene of the movie.

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.

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.

As this is in the category "family": no.
Strangers living in the woods are hunted, kidnapped and off-screen most likely killed off.

The setting is an alternate world/dystopian society very much like our own but there are some surreal elements. Mostly, the dialogue is unnaturally blunt and the characters behave in various unsettling ways. It’s fairly jarring.

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.

"Yes" voters probably mean the 'cold/cruel' woman. She is not described to have a mental illness but as simply being "cruel". She shows no empathy to other people's pain and seems to have no emotions in general.
Personally I would answer this question with 'no', but I can see why others would say 'yes'.

To elaborate on the biphobia - the hotel front desk lady says there’s no bisexual option « available » and he must register as either heterosexual or homosexual. I took this as a joke about how people try to make bi people ‘choose a side’ and the scene is there to show how absurd that mentality is.
