If you count Louis being haunted by the ghost of the car crash victim for the whole movie, then yes.

An (undead) child is kicked, grabbed, and choked. Albeit they ARE undead, it’s still unpleasant.

Kind of? Louis yells at Rachel for (obviously) being freaked out by what he did in the graveyard. He’s kind of going insane at this point but it’s still condescending and controlling.

;SPOILER;-ish (I tried to keep it chara non-specific)
Very near the end there's a physical fight between a child and an adult. The kid gets bit and then forcefully held down by their neck in an attempt to choke them out. Later they hold the kid down with their foot as they raise a shovel vertically over the kid's head as If to cut it off/in half

He dies off screen. There are some gross shots of a sticky, broken, cat-shaped prop, but you don't see violence.

After being stabbed multiple times in the stomach a character labors to breathe toward the end of the movie. Also during some of Rachel’s panic attacks she is short of breath. Another character becomes short of breath after being drugged.

It’s implied but not shown that a character probably burns towards the end of the movie. They approach them in a car with a gas can, and a house was seen burning shortly before this scene.

Without giving spoilers, one of the kids dies, however, there is no blood/gore shown. You do not see the child actually die, it's just a very intense and sad scene for the parents.

The first death of a person in the movie is a graphic scene of a black young adult being brought in on a stretcher, with a variety of graphic and real unpleasant injuries post being hit by truck, and dying before he can be given medical assistance. You don't see him be hit by the truck.

There is a deer's head mounted on the wall of Judd's house that you see the first time you see the inside of his house.
There is a pretty bad scene around the middle of the movie where the dad turns around and sees the cat eating a bird's stomach while the bird is still alive and flapping on the bed. This only lasts for a few seconds.
*****SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE ORIGINAL*****
The cat gets hit by the truck however you don't see it happen. You see it laying on the side of the road all bloody, however also not the best with realism (I have a huge phobia of animal death. I have panic attacks and have thrown up from animals dying in movies and I was completely unaffected however I've seen the original and expected it.)
There's a part where Louis goes to euthanise the zombie cat with a needle however does not do it.
