The only comfort I get from this is now that Sam Raimi has grown older he regrets putting this scene in and puts it down to him being young and foolish
But rhat doesn’t take away the horror from this scene alone. All the violence/gore in this movie and I still find the tree rape scene to be the most disturbing

No spiders, but at 51:18 there's a wound that grows larger, which in its early stages looked remarkably like a spider with growing legs. The spidery-looking moment only lasted maybe 2 seconds but I thought I'd mention it for any hardcore arachnophobes.

At around 50 minutes in, a character comes back from offscreen with an injury where a bone is sticking out from his arm (or at least it looks that way). It's not close up but is visible in frame for a while

Technically they are still human but they are in an evil form and not really seen as human. But they are possessed so they are still human.

It’s a horror movie, so yeah, people obviously probably die. Though technically they get possessed and their souls get consumed but the Deadite violently die so.

Characters have panic attacks as they struggle to understand what's happening and try to survive, these panic attacks get more severe as the film goes on and ends up placing the main character into a state of constant duress and mistrust of his psyche

The car doesn't actually crash. There's a scene where a character has to swerve to avoid an accident, and another scene where the road is blocked, preventing the characters from escaping by car. Otherwise no actual car crashes.
