Movie is a critique of religions and how they often use excuses to suppress/control women. Grant's character brutalizes women but it is not painted in a positive light. There's minor gore; no SA.

Here’s the timestamp for the finger being cut off: 1:38:25-1:38:38. If you’re watching on YouTube where they only let you skip ahead by 10 seconds, skip ahead 20 seconds (1:38:35-1:38:37 still shows the finger after it’s cut off). Before the timestamp, you’ll see the woman having her nails clipped with the shears, but not the finger getting cut off. After the timestamp, the woman is wheezing in pain and Sister Paxton is crying for her, but the wound isn’t shown. You’ll miss a little bit of dialogue when you skip the finger being cut, but everything will still make sense plot-wise.

Also, in one of the trailers before the film a man is stabbed in the neck.

Mainly sudden noises, not that many, it's not a big part, more of a psychological thriller, there are however a couple of jumpscares in the second half. Overal the movie has a tense suspense throughout when the antagonist is first seen through the end.

Just watched this:
Look away for a wee while when the girls are trying to light the matches off of the wall. It happens shortly after. I was completely fine for the rest film. This was the only moment so look away then.
Hugh grant wipes a girls mouth who is lying on the ground and says something like “Mucky pup” not sure if he’s wiping away blood or something else ^ but just if this bothers you too there’s the fluid on the ground near her mouth but unsure what as you don’t see!
A great film and shouldn’t be missed!
Stay comfy 💗

Hmm... There's one instance in which a real person who's running through a house is suddenly and briefly seen as a tiny figure running through a doll-house-sized model located within the house. Besides that, the last scene in the movie may or may not be happening inside the head of one of the characters; we can't be sure. The people behind the movie have explicitly stated that they wanted to leave it up to interpretation.

LENGTH WARNING. Although some efforts were made--too much was either dismissed or ignored for the sake of flow of the movie or just willful laziness. If it hadn't been for the efforts of Chloe East continually advocating for more accuracy, the movie would have been a cheesy stereotype of latter-day saints at best and even more harmful than it already was. Latter-day saints as a whole do not believe in reincarnating as animals, or clothing being magical (most latter-day saint women wear underwear underneath religious garments--some women wear it as underwear but that's a personal choice. It has a symbolic hope of the future if covenants are kept, but tales of it doing anything now are just folklore). It's not a normal thing to come to a religious conviction through pornography for this denomination or Christianity as a whole. I've never heard that, most of the time it's a scriptural witness or personal reaching out by God himself. Openly sexual talk may be discouraged (at least at the level of vain disrespect the sisters dove into--very few latter-day saints have seen the Book of Mormon musical for that reason) but birth control on a mission is not. Salvation is not gained by getting a convert, and male missionaries are subject to the same pairing off rules as sisters. The sisters would have had hours each day to study the scriptures, so the girls claiming that Mr. Reed read more of it than they did is suspect. The movie did not allow for rebuttals on some of the topics (which the church does provide)--the sisters just agree with controversies or add some of their own, so talk of it being so respectful is questionable, maybe towards women in general and religious participation in general but not their own denomination. I'm only mentioning the most harmful aspects for length, but just know the entire mission system setup is very off and there's A LOT more details I didn't mention--I just want to be the counter to the idea that no group of people was misrepresented. I don't mind missions being portrayed as dangerous, I don't think that is inaccurate, and I do think that should be listed as a trigger, but the idea of religiously nerdy athiests as being inheritly dangerous for just hating religion and bringing up their theories could lead to unnecessary anxiety for future discussions between Christians and athiests as a whole.

LENGTH WARNING. In addition to Mr. Reed who doesn't seem to view organized religion positively (it's just one attack after another), the missionaries are duped into being bullied on the street--it ends up with her skirt being removed. The goal of both people who interact with the sisters is to show their hate in their own way. The missionaries also discuss being made fun of. Showing the women as strong does not compensate emotionally for women when one paints religion in a negative light as more women are religious than men. The movie does not limit it's criticism towards The Church of Jesus Christ but expands it to religion in general and even reflects negatively on atheists. As such this is definitely not a culturally sensitive movie since many minorities may feel their communities are attacked and thus they are. SPOILER It's also been theorized that the movie makers are personally expressing their disdain of organized religion through this, but in socially acceptable ways. The theme is religion is about control. If you are religious you are told that you believe lies and with the sisters admitting to that, nobody is really standing up for your beliefs.

The villain makes a comment that could be considered antisemitic.
Spoilers:
While he’s lecturing the Mormon girls about religion, he says that because Judaism is the “OG monotheistic religion”, it should be the most popular, even though only a small minority of people in the world are Jewish. He claims that this is because Judaism doesn’t have missionaries to “sell” people their religion. Later, one of the girls criticises him for ignoring the impact of the Holocaust and the religious persecution Jewish people have faced throughout history.

The opening of the film discusses sexual topics for about 5mins, but nothing visual

Not in the course of the movie's events, BUT we're told that one character's father had Lou Gehrig's Disease. We hear no details, and we never see him in flashbacks or pictures.

Big part of the movie is about afterlife and what might be the 'one true religion'.

no, but there is a conversation where one of the mormon girls could possibly have a birth control implant, and there is a discussion on if she'd hide being on birth control to avoid being ostracized by her church

Ot has an open ending, part of the movie is about interpretation, how literally do you take it, can be viewed in multiple ways (insight is from multiple ending explained videos)
