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.

There is so much stabbing! Here are a few timestamps I took down, though there are many more instances than these:
Around 59 minutes there is a gruesome stab into a character’s bicep.
59:59-1:00:03 A character stabs themself with a large, long knife that they are holding by the blade.

There are quite a few scenes where characters let out these upsetting, long, hollow moaning sounds that go on for many seconds throughout the movie. There are also water droplet sounds when the characters are exploring the basement towards the beginning of the film.

The camera acts as a POV for some characters in the film, so sometimes actors look directly into the camera to simulate looking at the person or entity. Characters also run from the camera in some POV sequences when they are being chased.

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.
