Kind of. A parent insists one of the child characters is mentally ill rather than psychic and berates her that they're just dreams and nothing else

Absolutely yes! The cops take credit for solving the crime despite them not doing a dang thing, lol, and the film never interrogates/questions that.

The killer/kidnapper is clearly "unhinged," but no diagnoses are referenced and none really even come to mind. It's just standard horror movie villainy.

not sure what the other comment is talking about, as it is most definitely implied, and quite heavily so; the kidnapper plays a game with his victims called “naughty boy,” of which his “favorite part” is briefly discussed (though never explicitly clarified or shown). when playing the “naughty boy” game, he’s also half naked, for some reason. he also watches the main character as he sleeps, says he “won’t do anything [the main character] won’t like” in a suggestive tone, and the sexual component is both confirmed and intended by the director and writers. as a csa victim myself, it’s extremely difficult to miss.

It was hard to tell but I'm pretty sure the kid runs into the van rather than gets hit
