A child chases a dog around pretty relentlessly trying to play with it and ends up being bitten. The doctor kills by injection shortly after without a fight, against the owner's wishes. (She wishes to take it to trial) It's a frustrating death.

Alcohol is seen as a coping mechanism for several characters. There is a party scene where two characters get tipsy, but not drunk.

A dog is given a lethal injection, but is not mistreated. It's death is presumably painless.

I don't think people understand what dog fighting is. A dog does not fight another dog in this film.

A woman is kissed, at first seemingly consensual, though it becomes obvious she is uncomfortable. She pushes the man who kissed her off of her, and then runs away from him.

Literally in the first scene of the movie the protagonist is shaving in front of a mirror. Also, another character cuts herself with broken glass. I don't know two people voted "no"

It is not seen, but one of the major plot points is the death of - and possible haunting from - a young girl.

There is a very brief scene where we see Roddrick standing in front of a fire. His eyes are wide and he's breathing hard. The character has a known trauma involving fire, and although no audio is heard of the scene, it is clear he is paralyzed with fear.

Roddrick is very self conscious about the appearance of his leg, which was badly burned and is covered in scars. He even asks his doctor if it isn't the most gruesome leg the doctor's ever seen.

At one point a character is locked in a (rather large) room and bangs on the door.

Although it could be argued to be the effect of the house, a woman slits her wrists with glass. We see the act briefly, and her body after. Another is said to have committed suicide, although we see she was pushed.

Several character expect Roddrick to be able manage the household as he's the oldest male, despite his physical limitations and mental anguish. Some of the way characters talk regarding him could be seen as offensive, and it is implied that a few people wish to gawk at his physical deformities. Several characters dismiss the valid concerns of female characters regarding the house being haunted as hysterics or superstition.

Most of the family dies, and the house the main character is obsessed with is sold.

Most is detailed elsewhere on here. It is not a terribly gorey movie, but is realistic in the brief scenes we do see blood and broken bones.
