Gaslighting does not mean being unkind to someone...it means making them think they are going insane.

No sex happens, but the boyfriend is 18, and the girlfriend is younger, and he calls her "mature for her age." They play up the age difference by putting her in schoolgirl clothes, just really uncomfortable

Someone sort of is going to allow themselves to be sacrificed when he realises that an entire family will die alongside him if he doesn’t go willingly. Doesn’t ultimately happen though

Briefly — a main character is standing over the body of a deceased character for a moment, seemingly needing to process the circumstances; while he's standing there, we see a stranger is behind him in the hallway. The stranger observes for a few seconds and then walks away.

not exactly die firsr, but one of the main characters is a black man that they're hunting, using words such as filth etc to refer to him. they refer in such a way to "all those who need to be purged" but here it is directed at this specific black homeless character, which might rub you the wrong way, rightfully so
