There's a man who treats his teen son badly, bordering on verbal abuse, plus he sets a bad example for his son and is a bad influence on him, opinion-/attitude-wise. Callous, hostile, demanding, judgmental, prejudiced, all that. It's pretty clear that growing up with him has been painful.
there's a party scene where people have beverages in red cups which is assumed to be alcohol, but no one explicitly states that it's alcohol or exhibits drunk behaviour. there's also a photo of a teenager drinking beer from a keg
it doesnt happen onscreen, but as there are multiple mentions of this happening. one character looks at printed photos of someone getting beaten up and the photos are quite graphic
People surrounded by fire, coughing because of the smoke. I THINK we hear someone say "I can't breathe" in the background, but I may be imagining that.
YES VERY MUCH, VERY GRAPHIC!!! in at least the first murder, if not the second, the murderer targets the Achilles tendon first so the victims can't run
There is another hazing scene (shown in pictures and a very short clip on someone's phone) in which someone is getting beaten up while wearing a pillow case over their head. You see pictures of the bloodied pillow case on their head as well as someone punching them in the face and then spitting up blood in the video clip.
a character has an addiction to pills and is forced to swallow many pills before is officially murdered -- don't see the OD play out but see the consumption of too many pills
One parent dies on screen, and we "know" their child, but we don't see their child (not a little child) mourning. A teenager tells how his parents died in a car accident.
completely safe!! another comment mentions pictures but that's not actually accurate; there's a picture of a boy drinking beer from a keg. the foam from the beer looks like v* if you look quickly but there is definitely no v* in this movie
there's a scene where a girl refers to a nonbinary person using their full/deadname and calls them a "he, she AND they" in a fake-allyship, very condescending way. this was super uncomfortable for me to watch
I say no, HOWEVER - the movie involves a red herring that isn't revealed until the very end, and the red herring character is implied to be mentally ill. There is a LOT of ableist stereotypes and language towards him specifically calling him a sociopath multiple times and saying he "experiences no human emotions". So while he is not the killer, he is treated like one throughout 99% of the movie and it can still be very upsetting. And unfortunately, the moment the actual killer is revealed there is ableist language used towards them which is not portrayed as a bad thing. So while the implied mentally ill character is not the killer, ableism towards mentally ill people and stereotyping them as violent is throughout the movie and honestly is not ever really shown to be ableist or wrong by the movies narrative.
Not in those words, but someone makes a crowd of people believe that he's about to kill himself and even goes as far as to put a gun in his mouth and pull the trigger in front of everyone. It turns out the gun has been turned into a bong, and the whole thing was just a sick joke.
Maybe, but if so, it's still only mentioned, and it may be a misdiagnosis. A guy says his little sister licks the powder off Cheetos (which it appears she does indeed do) and adds, "Body dysmorphia at the age of 8! Damn!" or something along those lines. The sister or the subject isn't mentioned at all before or after, and we never meet her. We don't know that she doesn't just like the powder while disliking the rest. But in any case, the sickness is mentioned.

No, BUT it looks like someone is about to. After saying some sentences about how hard his life is, he sticks a gun in his mouth and pulls the trigger, and people around him scream, thinking that's he's killing himself, but it's just an (unfunny) gag.
There is ableist language and stereotypes throughout the movie. There are multiple usages of the word sociopath, this being the most common "insult" used when referring to the killer and who the characters suspect to be the killer. || Several main characters use ableist language and
stereotyping when talking about another character, such as calling him a sociopath and saying he has "no human emotions", and assuming he must be a killer because of these traits. Which is both a harmful stereotype and ableist towards autistic and mentally ill people. This type of stereotyping and language is used multiple times, even directly as an insult to his face. There is consistent ableism towards this character on the basis of him being quiet, "mentally disturbed" and having a poor childhood. The stereotypes are never combated and even when he is proven to not be the killer, the movie never once addresses how ableist the characters were towards him. He even then calls the actual killer a sociopath. || There is a scene where a character uses the word "Libtard", meaning "liberal retard", and retard is an offensive word/slur towards autistic people. || There is a scene which a group of characters talk about how brain damage makes you stab/murder people, another ableist stereotype.
Not directly, but there's a collection of Nazi memorabilia in one scene, and in another we hear part of a white supremacy podcast accompanied by a screen showing logos and/or stuff written in gothic fonts or something like that - I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it's graphics that evoke Naziism (or at least it did for me).
There is a non cis character (Who I will refer to as they, but their actual pronouns/gender identity is never actually stated, and they have next to no screen time) who is publicly mocked in their schools cafeteria for using different pronouns. The character mocking them implied the non cis character has used he, she, and they pronouns in the past, but it's unclear how much is the character mocking them just being transphobic. The non cis character's current pronouns are never stated, and aside from the character mocking them, not a single character refers to them with any pronouns.
In this same scene they are deadnamed, again mockingly.
No, but a gay teen is brutally beaten (seen on tape), and later he's stabbed and seems to be dying. We're told a little later that he'll survive ("critical, but stable"). The attempted murder wasn't about his sexuality. As for the beating, I'm not sure whether it was about him being gay or not.
There is a character with a white supremacist podcast, which plays in one scene where she talks about the myth of white genocide.
This is not specifically hate speech, however there is also a scene where a character shows his fathers collection of Nazi memorabilia off at a party. The character brags about converting said items into pipes hookahs and bongs and it comes off very insensitive.
Two of the characters make out pretty heavily in a car, with clear intent to have sex. it's a fairly short scene and they both stay fully clothed, but there is some body movement to imply grinding and it is a blatantly sexual scene.
In another scene, the same two characters kiss pretty heavily. This scene is also short.
While it doesn't crash, a car is driven through fire and it's pretty intense. the characters stop the car roughly and end up fleeing when the engine catches fire.
There's taser violence. // A person pulls out a gun, for a moment making a crowd of people think he's about to shoot someone. He immediately assures them that there's no threat to them, but proceeds to make them all believe that he's going to shoot himself in the head. He sticks the gun in his mouth and pulls the trigger, but it's not a functional gun - it was all a sick joke.
