R*pe is mentioned a couple times in the movie as a joke (ex: “This is my basement where I kill people but r*pe animals” /sarcasm). There is no mention of a r*pe that actually happened nor is there a r*pe or attempted r*pe onscreen.

No, but I don’t know where else to put this- this movie is based entirely around the question of if a man is delusional or not and how that is harmful for him. Without spoiling, just know that it can be extremely distressing for ppl who deal with psychosis. Please proceed with caution.

Throughout the film, the viewer is unsure if Wyatt is delusional or not, but his beliefs do cause him to become threatening on occasion, if not actually hurting anyone.

Past attempt mentioned, although we don't go into detail. A character puts a nail gun in his mouth, doesn't pull the trigger, and then immediately tries to put the nail through his hand. Could be interpreted as a suicide attempt.

Somewhat. The main character suffers from something akin to a schizoaffective or psychotic disorder, and he begins to believe that the humans around him are turning into monsters. It's made clear to the audience that what he's experiencing isn't reality, but it still may be upsetting. This is the crux of the film.

The protagonist's hallucinations and visions could, at times, be described as anxiety attacks. He becomes very nervous and goes outside or down to the basement throughout different parts of the film. However, most of the time, the anxiety is looming over him in more subtle ways.

It never gets discussed, but one of the main characters has a flashback discussion with his wife talking about how he needs a good job if he's going to be a dad. They never talk about where the wife is or anything though.

Some brief moments showing blood or viscera, when a character hallucinates. In one scene, a woman's hands are shown resting in a pool of blood on a tabletop. In another, there's a bloodied, fleshy cloth on a floor.
