Dead sheep in the very beginning. Skip to ~2 minutes. You won't miss anything. Otherwise clean.

A blurred photo of a severed hand is shown. It is said that it was cut off while the victim was alive, but none of the act of amputation is seen.

Parts of the movie are filmed in first-person, so the camera moves around. Also, there are a couple of disorienting drone shots of the forest where the camera rotates.

As the movie is supposed to be a mockumentary, people are interviewed and look/talk directly into the camera throughout.

Yes. The villain is just some guy with a physical disability. That in itself is supposed to scare the viewer.

There is a man that lives in a shack in the middle of nowhere that is described as being like what homeless people build to live in. It is implied that the man lives there because he has been shunned by society.

Minor; a blurred photo of a severed hand with no blood, and a cut on someone's leg with blood but filmed in black and white so it is not graphic.

Guns are shot in self-defense, but no one is hit by the shots.
