In the room with the caged women, Sister Paxton stabs her captor in the neck. Later, he is stabbed again, shortly after Sister Paxton is stabbed in the stomach like the other comment mentions.

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

Not exactly. Two people are held captive in a place that they went to and entered willingly. (I just googled "kidnapping", and every single definition I found included the forcible movement of a person from one place to another.)

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.

I clicked No, and then remembered that towards the end, a person goes through several rooms full of all sorts of objects - I can't swear that there were no clown masks or figures in any of those rooms, although I don't see why there would've been. In any case, there's no living clown.

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.

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.

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)
