Religious cult brainwashing is a central theme of the movie, so not exactly gaslighting but there is psychological abuse

Several shootings, very bloody, many on-screen deaths acted out with people vomiting foam and coughing up blood after drinking poison. A mother cuts her child’s throat, this is shown on screen. The mother and child are both shot and the aftermath is shown on screen, again very bloody and graphic.

A child is killed onscreen by their parent with a knife to the neck. The parent is distressed during this, believing this is a better fate than being shot to death.

No but there is a nonverbal child who is abused by cult leaders off screen (scars are shown on screen to indicate this history) and TW gore; later the child’s throat is slit by her own mother as she believes it’s what’s best for her child.

The movie is heavily based on the Jonestown mass murder/suicide, as such, many characters are coerced into suicide. Two characters explicitly kill themselves onscreen.

[SPOILERS] |||| The majority of characters in this film are killed by the end, including one of the main three protagonists who dies on-screen. The film ends with the other two protagonists alive, but there is no celebration in their success.

A character commits suicide via gun to the roof of the mouth; the impact is shown on camera, and the body is also shown in another shot as a character searches through the body's pockets. Unarmed people are gunned down while they run away. Bodies are shown with bullet wounds.
