There is a poster of a missing cat. You never see the cat, but assume it is dead.

The most that is shown is the main characters kill a girl and discuss killing the girl after she attacks them. Gore is not shown on screen, but her body is shown after the fact. Gore not shown for the most part. Many children die. A teenager is described as having passed away due to injuries over a phone call. The obituaries are read of many people, including children, in a montage scene, but none die onscreen.

A character makes baby-like sounds over the phone, but it's more like babbling than crying.
