There is a small jumpscare toward the end, when Peg comes to Corky's cabin. Corky is facing away from the camera and the viewer does not see that he is holding Fats (the puppet). Fats suddenly appears over Corky's shoulder facing Peg/the viewer. It is startling, but not intended to be scary.

There is not overt blood and gore, but blood is occasionally shown. For example, after Corky stabs himself (off-screen), there is blood on the knife and on his shirt.
