There is a scene where they come across what is first thought to be a mass suicide. It is revealed that the people were taken over and killed by The Stuff.

A character punches someone, and we hear someone say, "He just broke his jaw," but we barely see or hear anything and the context is comedic.

I don't think so, but there might be some upsetting visuals, with a body being taken over, and The Stuff being a white foam.

The way The Stuff affects ones face or body involves just general mouth horror and face damage. There's no specific teeth pulling or smashing though.

One of the bad guys falls into the water as the main characters run away. The boy, Jason is trapped and he is concerned he would be drowned in The Stuff, but it never ends up touching him.

There is a paramilitary that shoots at people (machine gun noises and visuals), and someone is shot in the head. Later a pistol is shot in the air as a threat.
