A chicken is hung by its feet, then released. It is alive and fine afterwards, but it looks disturbing if you aren't expecting to see it.

someone dies after a game of chicken goes too far, but it is not a deliberate s**cide. i wouldn't expect it to be triggering, but be careful anyway.

I would argue that a character has one near the end of the film, but that may be up to interpretation.

During the planetarium scene, there is a part with a bright and strongly flickering/flashing blue light which is the primary light source of the scene. I'm not sure if it's strong enough to set off any photosensitive issues or not, but it's there.

Since the wiki seems to misunderstand the film: Plato is canonically gay; although censorship kept it from being stated outright this was a known fact by both the cast and crew and is heavily implied throughout. He is killed near the end of the film.
