A man brutally murders his husband. While the man is under a spell and not acting out of his own free will, seeing a previously sweet and loving husband suddenly brutally beating his partner to death can be jarring
A mature aunt-like figure is manipulative, condescending, dangerous and overall vile to a child.
One parent is implied to be somewhat stern towards their child, but it is never shown in the movie, and the parent recognizes his failure in this and is apologetic. This is only really like 30 seconds of plot though, and is not relevant to the main story.
Parents depicted going after child to attack the child while not in control of their own bodies. No physical/verbal abuse ends up happening, but they hit a locked door repeatedly in an attempt to enter, which can be triggering.
The children have been weaponized. They are not actively perpetuating the cycle of abuse. It has much more in common with Hansel and Gretel shoving the witch into the oven at the end of their story than an abused child growing up to abuse his kids

Women characters are some of the characters who are subjected to violence from the antagonist/s during the movie, but not because of their gender. I don't recall seeing an actual slap across the face to anyone.
The film is split between the perspectives of various characters as it's told out of order, and one of the characters with a "chapter" of their own does die at the end of it.

Zach Cregger (director) has said in an interview that he tends to stray away from cheap jumpscares, so when a jumpscare happens, expect it to be effective. There are three major jumpscares here, along with several minor ones, with the sound effects in the major jumpscares in the soundtrack as well.
By segment, major jumpscares denoted with (*):
JUSTINE: 1: Justine goes to check at the door after someone rings the doorbell, and after checking there's no one, she leaves.... only for someone to bang at the door loudly, startling her. (can be seen in the 10min preview for the movie on YouTube) 2: About 20 minutes in the movie, she goes to check at a house, and is again, startled, by seeing two people in the house. (a sound effect also accompanies the scare - SOUNDTRACK CUE: 1:16 of the track "Newspaper") 3 (*): Perhaps the biggest jumpscare in the film, which occurs a few minutes later. Justine wakes up from a nightmare and after a while, she lays back down, only to see something at the ceiling that causes her to scream. (SOUNDTRACK CUE: 0:23 of the track "Nightmares")
ARCHER: 4 (*): About 40 minutes in: Archer also has a dream sequence that ends similarly with Justine's, as he talks to his son at his bed. The vision turns out to be something else (be alert as Archer says he regrets not saying to Matthew how much he loves him, the jumpscare happens when Archer says "I love you so much"). (SOUNDTRACK CUE: 4:08 of the track "Where Are You?")
JAMES: 5: About an hour in: There are several minor jumpscares when James explores the house (same one as the 2nd Justine jumpscare): a: When he sees two people (cue: when he notices the Willow DVD) b: When he notices something at the basement c: As the two people in (a) finally start moving and notice him. (SOUNDTRACK CUE: 1:27 of the track "Room to Room") 6: Another minor one as James hides in a tent as someone opens the tent, James attacks the person upon opening the tent.
ALEX: 7: A rather minor one when Alex peeks into a bedroom to see someone sleeping, and gasps and quickly closes the door. 8: The final sequence has several minor jumpscares: a: A scare chord is heard When Alex says 'hello' to a stranger standing still, to find another looking at him. b: Characters are triggered to attack when one crosses over the salt - two accidentally, and the one triggered by Alex, intentionally. 9 (*): Also in the climax, as Archer finds his son in the basement, his flashlight lands on the eighth person we see downstairs.... only for that person to lunge at him. (VISUAL CUE: immediately after we see a girl facing/looking south-west. SOUNDTRACK CUE: 1:11 of the track "Locked")
No jumpscares in the PAUL or MARCUS segments, although the MARCUS segment has two of the most violent sequences of the film, the first which is in particular, quite shocking.

*SPOILERS* it all depends on how sensitive you are to this trigger. the 'zombies' eyes are bulged however you don't see the bulging happening, just the person getting choked. at the end, the antagonist gets ripped apart and for maybe 2 seconds you see her face and eyes being torn apart, but it is towards the very very end. you could easily look away whilst she's lying on the floor and the children surround her.

A few instances of it when the characters are fighting each other. At the gas station and then later at the house
At approx. 35mins: Camera pans up to the sky during dream sequence, subdued lightning flashes appear in the clouds behind the floating assault rifle
At approx. 50mins: Flashing police car lights turn on, prominent for several seconds in an initial exterior shot but then not visible again until Paul gets out of the car for just two shots
Much later on during Alex’s chapter there is a brief flash of explosive sparks when Gladys lights the potion. During finale two single-flash gun shots occur.

Very brief sex scene, you only see their faces really
A woman is accused of getting a man drunk to sleep with him. However, while she does ask him to have drink with her and they do have sex, it is not otherwise suggested that that's what she did.
The man is a recovering alcoholic, but it seems that the woman didn't know about that when she encouraged him to have a drink with her.
The main antagonist of the movie is suffering from an unnamed long term illness. Hospice is mentioned and the fact that she might not have a month left is mentioned.
As a person who has been there, I actually loved James as a character. I found him very honest, funny, and lovable. When you’re an addict living in a tent, yeah, all you’re thinking about is your next hit. That is the nature of being in an intense state of addiction. His actions all made internal sense for someone in that place in life, and they were used to further the plot in ways that would be difficult to get a stable, sober person to do.
Also, he has a name and his own segment of the story. He’s not a throwaway character.
The bad guy is killed but the children and other people who were possessed don’t go back to normal. Plus a few main characters died throughout the film. Melancholy ending

Pretty gory scene at the end, and other events listed in the body horror section. But it’s easy to look away during those scenes so don’t let it stop you if gory’s not your thing!
In my head body horror is usually when the body is made to do things that shouldn't be possible. Most of the body-related horror is just possible IRL gore, but there are a couple moments related to someone being controlled that feel unsettling (no blinking, not reacting to physical damage or pain, super strength and speed)
