In a beginning sequence, the carcass of what appears to be a coyote is briefly shown in a series of clips. This isn’t very graphic, but it may possibly be startling if unexpected.

Not quiet violence, but the main antagonist manipulates his disabled nephew a LOT.

Thomas (Leatherface) was, throughout his whole upbringing. He was gaslit, manipulated, verbally abused, antagonized, emotionally and psychologically abused, brainwashed, bullied by family, and he was most likely physically abused as well. They used his intellectual disabilities against him

While there isn’t specific shown abuse of domestic pets, animal death from possible mistreatment is part of reoccurring imagery. Questionable butchery conditions, display of bodies , and various roadkill are seen at various points in the film.

It’s brief and not shown on screen. Happens just before the hour mark. A woman is tied up and groped by a man, he says he loves her and seems to kiss her neck, then we hear her scream but nothing is shown.

A knife is stabbed into a character’s mouth- while teeth are not specifically shown, their mouth is bloody. In addition, another character has had all of their teeth pulled (though we do not see the act itself). Shortly after this scene, one character slams another’s head into the ground, damaging his teeth.

A woman declares she needs a bathroom break but is refused one. What seems like urine is actually water breaking. If you are sensitive to that, you will need to miss the first few minutes of the movie. Kind of too important to miss IMO.

Briefly during an early flashback sequence, a character can be vaguely seen self-mutilating their face. In a much later scene, Thomas/Leatherface draws a knife down a character’s arm in a way that might be highly triggering for those sensitive to this topic.

Thomas (Leatherface) has intellectual disabilities which obviously aren't mental, but most likely also has some trauma related disorders. But his uncle, the "sheriff", definitely has some mental disorder. He's profoundly narcissistic and sadistic. And he's extremely violent. And the rest of that family are all violent and they're sadists and cannibals. So, yes, there are violent mentally ill people in the movie

As with nearly every film in the Texas Chainsaw universe, ableist language and behavior is prevalent. A character with a clear neurodivergence is treated like (and referred to as) an animal FREQUENTLY throughout.

Extremely antagonizing language toward neurodivergent and/or mentally ill individuals. Character is referred to as a r****d MULTIPLE times, as well as a ‘dumb animal.’ While this technically fits under the ‘ableism’ category above, such inflammatory language deserves a more specific warning here as well. Dehumanizing/demonizing behavior overall.

The couple (Dean and his girlfriend) in the beginning are playing with some light bondage in the beginning. She has him tied to the bedpost with a ties or something like that. They end up not having sex because he's not in the mood, but they use that for foreplay
