A lot of the movie is about Leslie, Taylor & co stalking Kelly as Leslie plans to murder her. Halloran calls them out on this.

Not exactly, the main character does show how he is trying to make a girl paranoid by making her think she sees things though.

[SPOILERS FOR THE VERY END OF THE MOVIE]: I don't know that this counts, but a man is presumably killed and then the building he's in is set on fire. Later, during the coroner's examination of his charred body, he wakes up and moves.

No, but a psychiatric doctor briefly discusses one of his previous patients, the killer in the movie, which might be upsetting for some.

The killer in the movie previously attended therapy and likely had other treatments in place; the doctor he saw shows up in the film and discusses his history.

The majority of the movie is shot in a documentary style, the camera during all these parts can be shakey.

A gun is pulled and fired at one point in the movie, though no one is injured by it. The scene is replayed shortly after on a tape of the event.
