*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

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

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.

There is a boy that is not said to be autistic but as an autistic person myself I could tell and I think it was rather clear and certainly intended. The woman speaks about how it is difficult to have patience and love him and how he’s “not right” which isn’t inherently wrong or ableist I suppose but felt a little upsetting to me so just a warning.

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).
