In a flashback, a teen girl is the butt of a prank of a sexual nature, and everyone laughs at her. Though she's not brutalized, the similarities may be enough to trigger someone.

Sue Ann, or Ma, is depicted as a teenager being tricked into giving a blowjob for the first time in a dark school closet, being told it's her crush when it's actually a random man. Many of her classmates watch her come out of the closet, as they were all in on the "prank".
Additionally, she later grabs the penis of aforementioned crush as an adult after drugging him and tying him up, with the threat to castrate him.

Depends on how you define excessive but there's enough gore that if you're not a fan of it I would advise you to skip this film. Examples of some of the disturbing gore below (spoilers):

Multiple characters are stabbed/cut and there's a lot of blood. A character presses a hot clothing iron against the abdomen of another character and we see the bleeding burn. A character stitches another character's mouth shut (while she's unconscious) and there's quite a bit of blood. A character is run over by a car and we see her bleeding body.
