It's a supernatural psychological horror, so much of the story is about a man who believes something is happening, and can't get anyone else to believe him

A major theme of the film. A man's wife is cheating on him, he follows her, and witnesses her having sex with her boyfriend. Lots of discussion, turmoil, references to it, and descriptions of it

It gives a pretty neutral opinion of policing— the cop is an antagonist but not a villain and while he ultimately is right about some things, he’s also shown to be a douche. So it balances out to me

A man drowns by supernatural means, and because the film questions whether his visions are real or not, it implies that it might be deliberate. A boy deliberately opens a car door so that he will be killed on the road

There's a scene where two people are locked in a cupboard but are quickly released, a scene where people are running or crawling through pipes, and an underwater scene. The claustrophobia isn't a main focus of the horror of these scenes
