YES actually the child murder is shown onscreen, we see her father hit her on the head and push her body into the well (though she doesn't die from it)

not onscreen, but it's implied and it's awful and gross. when he climbs down into the well he sees blood and fingernails on the wall from Sadako trying to climb out.
look away when she crawls out of the TV too because you see her hands again

Very infrequently, there are some mild jumpscares, but the majority of the movie is more of an "atmospheric dread" kind of scare.

It is only mentioned, but the mother of the main villain did kill herself. Said mother is shown in screen, if only briefly in a flashback.

Lots of gross noises happen in this movie, especially in tense scenes. Crunching and snapping can be heard. This movies relies heavily on distorted and scary audio.

The end is narrated by a girl talking to her friend about the video but she says "you" in a way that makes it seem like she's addressing the audience too. In general the urban legend aspect of this movie can make it very paranoia inducing so be careful!
