You see a dog in the background a few times, but you never see it in distress, and it's never even hinted that the dog was harmed. The only dead animal you see is the bear at the end, but you don't see or hear it being killed, you just see its body.

A horse does not die. At one point, maybe two thirds or three quarters of the way through (I think after the May Queen scene), you can see people leading a parade of animals across the scene in the background, with the last one being a young colt/filly, but that’s all you see. Briefly, you can hear sounds of animals possibly in distress coming from one of the barns a few minutes later, but nothing comes of it. I think the final table spread had dead animals on it, but it wasn’t clear.

The very graphic scene with the bear starts at 2:15:00 until around 2:17:30, from then until around 2:21:00 we only see one of the characters wearing the skin/body of the bear which isn't as graphic but still has some grotesque aspects like blood and bits of flesh showing, then they're burned. Before and after that there are no animals shown or heard being killed/harmed. There is only a scene during the banquet right after the coronation of the queen of May where there's a close up of cooked meat that seems to be rotten on the table that is a bit gross looking

The main character’s boyfriend gaslights her, mostly at the start of the film, and throughout the movie there is more gaslighting when characters question things that are happening around them and are told everything is fine and normal.

It's hard to explain without outright giving away the ending, but the gaslighting, love-bombing, drugging, and trauma ultimately culminate in Dani doing a villainous act at the climax and joining the antagonists as one of them. The script directions for the ending imply that she is 'happy,' but only in the sense she has lost her mind.

DIRECTOR'S CUT: A child volunteers as sacrifice during a night time riverside ritual. Adults attach chains to the child's feet and give them a large rock to hold. Two adults then start to swing the child, as if building momentum to throw them into the water. A character screams for them to stop and they do. The child is shown returning to their mother, both seeming unconcerned.

Clearly some people don’t understand what DV is/can be. It can be within families too. A daughter killing her parents can definitely be see as DV. And on top of that the way the boyfriend treats and gaslights his girlfriend without the film? Emotional abuse.

Many characters willingly take drugs more than once, but there are no compulsions or addictive traits shown on screen. Much of the drug taking is done as part of ritualistic ceremonies.

The cult uses various forms of what appear to be psychedelic substances, and several instances of drug use involve dubious-at-best levels of consent. A character also gets some powder blown in his face, which makes him paralyzed and unable to communicate but still conscious for the rest of the movie.

⚠️TW: blood, deceased bodies, suicide⚠️
please practice self care by not reading if you are not emotionally able to handle some details. <3
there are two elderly people, one being a woman, and the other a man, who "give up" their lives in a suicide, culturally viewed as peaceful. they have their last meal and are then brought to the top of a cliff, proceeded to jump from it and plummet to their deaths. the woman dies when she hits the ground, but the man doesn't automatically die. because of this, they smash his head with a hammer to finish him off. it is very gory, including the graphic noises and screaming, blood, and body parts being demolished.

It is hard to pinpoint one particular moment, but you do know it when you see it. One part of the film that stands out as this is near the end, when several people are burned alive, some against their will.
At one point, also near the end, a character is forced to try eating a raw fish whole. She does not succeed and is laughed at. This could be considered torture.
There may also be an element of psychological torture throughout the entire film, but this is closer to gaslighting.

A 15/16 year old, which is over the age of consent in the area the movie takes place in, so technically no. However, she’s a minor by American standards, so it may still squick out a viewer.

There is a scene where two elderly folks ritualistically jump off a cliff, with one not dying on impact and needing to be euthanized with a mallet. The context is that, past a certain age, traditionally villagers opt to die for religious reasons. There's a latter scene with two villagers volunteering to be ritualistically sacrificed via immolation as part of their culture's traditions, but later shots imply they regretted their decision before death.

There is severeal disparitions during the movie, but we don't know if there they are kidnapped before getting killed, but it's kind of implicit. By the end of the movie, one character is actually held in a shack and tortured (his badly injured and mutilated but he steel breathing).

While there are jumpscares, it is worth noting that there are no monsters in this film, and the jumpscares are not very severe.
Near the beginning of the movie, the main character has an anxiety attack during a drug trip and she runs into a dark room. While she is looking into the mirror, a brief image of her dead sister appears behind her, and she runs away. The face that appears in the mirror is not too scary, but it is sudden.
Next, after witnessing two of the elders commit suicide by jumping off of a cliff, the main character has a dream that is inter cut with images of the dead bodies, and also the face of her sister. The images flash on the screen for short amounts of time. It is worth noting that some images shown are quite graphic and gory. One of the faces is completely smashed in and hollow, but the sequence is short.
This may be considered a jumpscare. One character is confronted while trying to take pictures of the sacred text. He his hit over the head with a mallet, creating a sharp sound that contrasts the rest of the quiet scene. After this, there is a long, maybe 5-10 second shot of a man wearing someone else's skin over his face as a mask.

DIRECTOR'S CUT: Near the start of the film, when Dani has just taken the mushroom tea, she runs into a building and looks in a mirror. In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment she sees the calm face of her sister standing behind her. Later there is a split second where the protagonist thinks she sees the face of her mother in a crowd, but she is high, distressed and tired and it appears to just be her imagination.

Main character’s family member commits suicide during the beginning of the film. She is seen covered in vomit. Half way through, a man is shown throwing up after witnessing a couple jump off a cliff. It is not graphic. Later, a woman throws up after seeing a ritualistic sex scene. It is slightly graphic. All scenes are short.

There is a bit of audio gore, especially in the ritual suicide scene, but it's not much considering they literally violently jumped off a cliff. It seems to be muffled or played down a bit? Not too sure, but as someone sensitive to that kind of thing it wasn't as bad as other movies

Although it may have not been targeting Autism, it does have a young person with some sort of handicap. The character is posed in a creepy light that may trigger people who have been made to feel like an outcast in the past.

There is a ritual “mating” scene, I'm not sure of the time stamp in which you can see multiple women of varying age in the nude. Most of which are not explicitly “sexual”, they just stand around the couple in the nude and sway.
One of the main characters, Christian, is shown pretty nude, but I don’t remember if you see any specific body parts.

There is a lot of gore in this film. Do not watch it if you are afraid of blood.
The most noticeably gory scene has two characters falling off a cliff to their deaths. One dies on landing, and her face is caved in with blood and pieces of flesh in and around her head. The second doesn't die after falling, but his leg is broken and the bone is showing. Other characters use a mallet to smash his head. The scene is very drawn-out.
There is also a scene in which a man undergoes the prcoess of a blood eagle. He is suspended from the ceiling and his back is flayed open. His lungs, still breathing, have been removed through his back. His eyes were replaced with flowers.
