There is a taxidermied dog visible in several shots, but no dog dies in the course of the film.

A man eats a rat but it’s all sleight of hand - not even a fake rat is shown. There’s a crunch sound then a line of blood drips down his chin.

There is a scene about 3/4 of the way through where she opens her mouth to reveal an indeterminate plastic bug in her mouth and then there is a shot of a bunch of live cockroaches around a tub drain. No spiders in the entire film. I am severely arachnophobic and was on high alert.

Protag pukes and we see in the sink that she vomited bugs and lizards. It is shortly after she pricks her thigh with a needle, if you want to prepare to look away.

A man tries to seduce the protagonist in her bedroom, making her unzip his vest and then tightly embracing her despite her repeated attempts to dismiss him. He says, “you don’t just unzip a man and say goodnight.” It’s very creepy.
