There's no dog (in the remastered version at least). Only the sound of dogs barking at a couple points.

There are very few women in the movie. A couple get abducted, but there isn't any spectacle to it and they are later rescued off screen.

A guy's forehead gets drilled and then all his blood is shot out of his body. Not much flesh gore, but there's a lot of blood.

The body horror is minor. Corpses are implied to have been squashed into a shorter shape, and they bleed yellow instead of red.

The Tall Man's finger is chopped off, however, since he is an inhuman entity, the blood that drains from his hand is yellow.

Technically, the kid comes back in the second movie, but this movie makes it look like he is taken by the monsters at the end and could be assumed dead.

There was one part after the 51-minute mark (when they're checking the car and look inside) where someone has yellow goop dripping out of their mouth, it's presumably blood but I found it a little triggering personally.

At some parts, the camera shakes to convey chaos and panic as the characters run for their lives. However, these moments are brief and likely not extreme enough to instill motion sickness in most viewers.
