There are mentions of absentee fathers (referred to as "deadbeats" the whole time) and fathers leaving/walking out, but no onscreen abuse or abusive dynamics

I think that the gratuitous cheerleader scene at the end of the film falls into this category. None of the other female deaths feel this way to me, but that one feels like it makes a mockery of femininity

No one is gaslighted in this movie, as no one is manipulated by causing them to question their sense of what is real, their grasp on reality, or their sanity. People are lied to and manipulated in other ways, but there is NO GASLIGHTING. I literally don’t even know what people could possibly be mistaking for gaslighting in this movie. Spreading misinformation is dangerous.

In the original tale, the protag's son uses them, but in this movie it's never shown, only mildly implied on a dialogue, but seems more like a sarcastic joke he made to his dad.

Very brief and used in a comical way. You don’t see a noose or anything but the body hangs there and is shown briefly twice. Not too graphic in my opinion

I’d say yes. In the ways some of the deaths happen, it feels as though they are being toyed with and tormented before they actually die.

They repeat over and over in the film that it’s not a toy, but there is a sequence where a child attempts to destroy the monkey. It’s not cute and the child doesn’t like it though

Idk why half the votes are (or were)"yes", no one cheats their romantic partner on this movie. The only possible mention is the protag's aunt and uncle being swingers, but they both seem to agree with it, so is that cheating to begin with?

There are some jumpscares but they are not severe and are lessend by the comic tone:

In one scene during a discussion in a car a woman suddenly bangs on a car window.

Also a sudden appearence of a monkey with a jumpscare sting

A woman walks on the stairs and breaks through it and pops up screaming.

And some other jumpscares with minor scare stings
