The scarab fusing with the main character is full body horror. Not bloody, but quite visceral as his body is encased in the suit. There's also a lot of screaming during the scene, and when he shows the scarab in its dormant form later in the movie, it's embedded into his spine partially beneath the skin and the areas around where it is on the outside are inflamed.

You could presume this happens when the family's house burns down, but all the residents are adults during the movie and the only objects in the home directly shown as damaged or destroyed are some family pictures and the main character's college graduation cap.

An extended scene where the entire family and the main character are all screaming in panic, unsure what is going on, and then much later there is screaming in grief and panic in a stressful scene.

some characters of color die but that's because most of the cast are POC, nobody who dies is a sole representative of their race or has their death brushed aside, so it doesnt really fit the trope. most of the characters of color live to the end of the movie as well

A character assumes a man is a delivery person because he's Hispanic. There is graffiti reading "gringo go home," granted "gringo" mostly means white people but the term also means any foreigner (which can include BIPOC) in a Latin American country so I thought that was worth noting. Racist boss calls a Latino worker the wrong surname on purpose. Villains attack a family’s house in a way akin to an ICE raid but hateful intent isn’t confirmed.

Yes. There’s two. One is a mid-credits scene that is plot important. The other happens at the very end of the credits and is just a gag. Definitely stay to watch the first one, the gag at the end isn’t a must-watch though.
