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.

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.
