Not an innocent child by a parent. The main character abuses a female child in his class, and his parents try to harm him when he becomes malicious and dangerous.

The kid goes out to the barn late at night, then next scene we see barn lights flickering and hear the chickens clucking like crazy. The father goes out to check and finds them all brutally slaughtered. Skip from 26:53 - 28:00 to avoid.

No, but some scenes are scary in the classic ghost horror movie way (someone wakes up in the dark to their computer playing music; the person closes the computer so that the music stops, then goes back to bed; suddenly the computer is open and playing music again - stuff like that).

Numerous scenes of intense gore. The most gory are listed briefly here, but if you are sensitive to this, I would avoid reading these descriptions as well as avoiding the movie. First, a girl's hand is crushed in the main character's grip. Second, her mother has glass thrown in her face. A shard pierces her eyeball, and she pulls it out. Third, a man's car is dropped front-first into the ground and his jaw breaks off his face.
