Yes, when their car crashes into a pole during a riot, a man cracks the window and pulls apart the glass with his bare hands. Pretty triggering and definitely left me hyper sensitive for the next couple of hours but I’m also really weird about glass injuries lol

There is a scene where someone is stabbed and has his blood drained. Also blood is sprayed all over the space to feed the red plants. Otherwise it is mild.

Like above, crowds of people die with no detail shown, presumably there are kids in the crowd but it is not explicitly shown.

A character walks into a firefight knowing that death is highly likely, but it's not framed in a suicidal way.

There is a pregnant woman in the movie but she is ok. For most of the movie you don’t know if she will be ok, but in the end she is fine.
