The horse is a young girl’s pet. She sees it go under the boat and hears its scream as its blood comes out the back. She screams in terror at the sight.

Yes, Noah is not actively in Aiden's life, but he is still friends with the mother. Aiden spends time with Noah and they discuss his lack of parenting as a conundrum.

Not exactly, but characters receive calls immediately after watching a video, and there's a theme of a supernatural force watching and following people.

*SPOILERS* Samara’s father keeps her in a barn because he doesn’t want her, and her mother suffocates her then throws her down the well, so I’d say yes

one child is neglected and definitely needs treatment for mental health issues. another child is murdered by a parent after being neglected for a long time and sent to a mental hospital.

Very briefly. Look away after Anna says "I know things will get better." It's safe to look after she says "All I ever wanted was you."

*Spoiler* No, but a character is thrown in a well and sees the lid of the well being closed.

Noah's hands are cut by broken glass on the floor. You don't see the cuts, only the blood left behind as he crawls

The person above said that a horse's head gets squashed. While a horse does die (audio accomponying it) and blood is shown in the water, we don't see its head at all. Just some thrashing of its body before the blood shows up.

For humans, it doesn't have head trauma for the most part. Facial trauma is shown in "demonic" deformed faces when someone opens a closet door and turns a chair around. These are both jumpscares of dead bodies. But like I said, that's more facial trauma. The first one, the closet scene, has the body's head move forward, slumping over. It mildly triggered me.

*Spoiler* A character electrocutes himself, flashes of fire are seen, but no electrical burns are shown.

Samara dies because she survived the fall down the well and couldn't get out for seven days. Scratch marks on the walls of the well suggest she was trying to escape.

A bit. The two main characters are exes and make up near the end of the movie. However, even though they have made up, the man in the relationship has a girlfriend that he is still seeing.

Samara "speaks" to Aidan by sending him some kind of telepathic messages. It's not quite possession, but may still be unsettling to viewers who don't want to see possession.

multiple mental institution scenes. one character is locked in a room for days without stimulation and then is interviewed and neglected. another is in a psych ward that is much less intense but is definitely shaken up by the experience. we also see a common room of the psych ward but nothing bad happens there

several mental institution scenes but no hospitals. however the psych wards have all-white tile walls and floors and seem very sterile which could be triggering

There is a child briefly featured in the movie who is not specifically described as autistic, but he avoids eye contact and engages in echolalia, so he may be coded as autistic. The language his mother uses to describe him is somewhat demeaning and ableist (although the word autism/autistic is never used).

Yes. It's maintained that they're not *really* mentally ill, it's ghosts, but it's clear anyway. She's shown in an old-timey psych hospital.

There's a lot of loud, high pitched noises; TV static turned screechy feedback as well as people screaming. On Netflix at least, the volume is poorly regulated and goes back and forth from hard to hear to painfully loud. also plenty of wet sounds.

The tape that the character’s watch has a few shakes scenes. However, the actual movie does not have shakey scenes.

While not necessarily strobe effects, images and film bits frequently flash across the screen. People sensitive to that kind of thing should keep that in mind.

See comment on "autistic specific abuse".

Both the "monster" of the movie and her mom are described as "going crazy" as well as other demeaning language.

There's actually one Black person in the movie, for all of like 30 seconds. But he doesn't die first (or at all).

There's a very brief moment where a woman has her shirt off and is wearing a bra. This is not depicted in a sexual way. Otherwise nothing that could be described as sexual.

Yes, but you can have a happy ending if you stop it at around 1:38, when the mom/main character says "we set her free'

no footage of drowning but a character electrocuted themself, a horse jumps overboard but dies quickly from the blades on the motor of the ship, and a child is thrown down a well but was able to survive for a few days so presumably died from hunger. we do see the dead child’s body floating up from the water which could be triggering.

several disfigured and discolored faces that are scary. someone pulls a wire or hair out of their throat through their mouth. another character crawls on broken glass and presumably cuts his hands which results in handprints of blood on the floor. another character commits suicide by electrocution. multiple dead horses and we witness one death of a horse but it isn’t shown on screen
