Phew. No - but the hurt paws is slightly upsetting. I'd say a 2 out of 10 - not too bad.

not sure why people are saying no—a character has a dream in which her husband axes her in the head and her head is very much squashed by the ax.

However, a little boy's fingers are caught painfully in a slammed window. No bones are broken, but the parents point out how weird it was that none of his fingers were broken from that.

In the very beginning, they play the murder of the precious family. You don’t see a kid die. But you see him point the gun at each family member, hear shots, and know they are dead.

Around 17:40, the priest leans on the car and the caption says retching but you don't see anything at all and the rest of the sounds are just coughing. Leading up to it with the flies in the room he looks increasingly unwell and coughs a lot, some gasping and mouth covering which could be triggering but nothing actually happens.

It happens again with the nun at 37:54. She leaves the house then pulls over in her car, opens the door and leans over to be sick. You don't see anything, just mild audio that's not bad (sounds like stage retching if that makes sense). It kind of sounds more like screaming?

A character is influenced by supernatural forces, altering his mood and decision making in a way that could be viewed as mental illness.
However the film does not traffic in the “mentally ill people are violent” stereotype, or feature the medicalisation of the character’s situation.

Yes, a character gets trapped in a walkin closet and begins to panic. They are eventually helped and (aside from being very distressed) are otherwise unharmed.

The characters’ Christian religion is a major theme. Also both a priest and nun are shown to be viscerally affected by the supernatural evil, with the priest rapidly discerning the cause.

Very little but there is a scene where a lot of blood seeps from the walls. Other scenes where characters get injured involve blood but its mostly mild.
