there is one character that had been taken by jigsaw because of his past of self harm, and is briefly shown in a cage full of razor wire. the imagery can be fairly triggering if you're sensitive to it but no direct self harm is shown in this instance. There are other scenes where the characters hurt themselves in order to free themselves from traps, but it is in order to save themselves and not in the purposeful self harm type of way

Screenwriter Leigh Whannell and director James Wan have confirmed that the two male main characters' relationship has a romantic angle. However, their fates at the end of the first movie are ambiguous. From the sequels we learn that one definitely survived while the other was probably killed, however, neither of these is made clear in the film.

At the very beginning, a main character wakes up in a full bathtub by inhaling a small amount of water.
