Surprising given the rest of the film. Suspect filmmakers thought it clever not to kill the dog.

when one character suggests that their situation may involve something non-medical, another character adamantly insists that it's crazy to propose anything like that.

From 1:27 - 1:30 there is a torture scene in which facial trauma results in the loss of a character's tooth. It is heavily obscured, yet it is incredibly obvious what has happened.

a character tries to seduce a married man but he rejects her. Then a married woman masturbates one man but not because she wants to (and it's not shown explicity btw), she has to because she wants to save her kids.

There are a handful of intense moments that use dramatic music to add a slightly more tense effect, but they aren't the traditional jumpscares. If this still sounds upsetting, you can get timestamps for these moments on the Where's The Jump page for this movie.

I was waiting for the vomit the entire movie...never saw anything happen. The closest thing is the daughter is in the hospital and her dad feeds her fruit and she gags and spits it out. So perhaps that’s what it is but it was brief and not traumatizing if you’re emetophobic.

calling the police is mentioned as a solution at one point, but another character says that calling them wouldn't make a difference in their situation.

Main antagonist is autistic-coded (imo), he is tortured, but it is not directly related to this.

a character, who's very heavily implied to have some sort of mental illness, spends the majority of the movie being obsessive, cryptic, and threatening. only at one point does he ever actually do anything violent, and its when he chomps into another man's arm, and then chomps into his own and rips off his own flesh.

i don’t think babies are shown, but a rather young child is in distress for a lot of the film.

maybe? a lot of people believe the antagonist is meant to be seen as neurodivergent in some way

I would consider this film ableist and believe it vilified neurodivergent behavior.

the main character is a surgeon, and, early in the film, his wife roleplays being under general anesthesia for his sexual pleasure. from a distance, we see him remove her panties, but sex is not shown and the scene cuts to the next day. later, a widowed woman seductively sucks on his thumb without his consent, knowing that he's married, and he responds by quickly leaving her house. a teenage girl removes her clothes, leaving only her bra and underwear, and robotically lays on her bed, hoping to seduce a teenage boy. he says he has to leave and gets annoyed when she tries asking him to stay. the main character tells his son a detailed story about how, when he was going through puberty and having trouble masturbating, he snuck into his dad's bedroom while he was asleep and jacked him off. later, in what i consider the most explicit scene, a married woman gives a handjob to another married man in a car in exchange for information. all you can really see is her upper body and her arm moving up and down, but his moans can be heard and the scene goes on for an uncomfortable amount of time until he finishes. finally, the main character's wife tries to seduce him by getting completely nude and doing her "general anesthesia" pose again (at an extremely inappropriate time). he doesn't react, and instead just turns the lamp off and tries to go to sleep. she responds by cuddling with him. worth noting that every sexual scene is very awkward and passionless, as all the characters are shown to be cold and strange.

the very first shot of the movie is a long, highly detailed close-up shot of an actual beating heart during an open-heart surgery. other than that, most of the other violence happens later on. a character is tied up and beaten, with a visibly injured face, at one point he spits out blood and a tooth. he also bites *into* a man's arm as well as taking a bite *out of* his own. later, a character's eyes are shown bleeding profusely.
