Corky returns to his hometown and intentionally goes to a cabin being rented by a woman he had a crush on in high school. There is no overt stalking behavior, but this could be read as stalking adjacent depending on your comfort level.

The ventriloquism dummy, Fats, could be seen as a mannequin depending on your personal tolerance. Fats is a central character in the film and it is left open to interpretation whether or not he is able to move/act on his own. Some scenes do show him blinking/looking without his human companion controlling him.

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.
