Guys, please note that this is about the 1988 movie. No kids die, no animals die, no jumpscares, etc. Check out the movie description above, and if necessary, make a new profile for the 1993 Hollywood version. This is for the 1988 movie.

A character intentionally drinks a drugged drink knowing the person he's with probably intends to kill him. Another character jumps off a balcony to see what would happen and is injured.

There's a slightly wobbly dolly shot that many older lower budget films have. Nothing like found footage shaky cam though.
