There are many dead dogs toward the end of the movie, at night & already dead in the woods. You don’t hear anything but see them already dead with blood all over. There is also a dead dog at the bottom on the stairs in Junko’s ancestral home.

There are dead pigeons around during the film and one seen of a man grabbing a pigeon and walking inside with it. You don’t see what happens to the bird. There are about 4 pigeons who fly into a window and are shown dead after.

[Spoilers]


While not outright pedophilia, some material may be disturbing to CSA survivors and especially disturbing for cult survivors - particularly Kana's story. Kana is a psychic child used as the temple for a supernatural entity, and fed aborted fetuses to establish a connection with the entity. The latter incident is never shown on-screen.

Her ghost is later seen with the ghosts of the aborted fetuses; it's not made clear what exactly is going on, but one interpretation might be that she was forced to give birth to these babies (albeit by supernatural means).

There is also a lot of themes around Kana 'being devoured' or eaten by parasites; while the context is more literal, it can be taken as a metaphor for sexual assault.

Not directly confirmed, but there are implications. Most notable with Hori, who appears to have trauma-induced psychosis (though this is also a side effect of coming into contact with an eldritch abomination).

-SPOILERS-
Abortion is mentioned because there are ghost aborted fetuses, but it's not looked down upon because they were abortions. The only negative thing implied is that they were illegal late-term abortions done by the clinic Junko worked at.
