At one point Dwight frightens his sister pretty badly, and she responds by shoving and slapping him repeatedly. No suggestion it's a pattern of abuse in either direction.

I don't think any parents die during the course of the movie, however both of Dwight's parents, as well as the Cleland patriarch, died before the movie starts, and those deaths are important to the plot.

Happens at 1:06:54 and then again about 7 seconds later. Visual and audio. It's during a montage set to "No Regrets" and happens right after Ben burns the Polaroid in the microwave.

Early on, someone is stabbed in the neck and then in the head. The knife is removed and a lot of blood sprays. Pretty graphic.
Later, a character tries to remove an arrow from their leg, which doesn´t go well an we see blood pouring from the wound. Hard to watch.
