Debatable, the mcs aren't abused by anyone, they're just suffering due to being in the lower class and start acting in morally incorrect ways later on.

to counter the comment above, the mother is actually only roleplaying, and drug use is only refrenced to as two characters assume another character is sleeping with an addict.

a character who is a known alcoholic pees outside someone's house while intoxicated. there's a confrontation, but it's played for comedic effect. characters drink heavily in another scene for fun.

There's no actual drug use in the film. The scene where the rich woman mentions drugs is ambiguous. She says it during sex, and in context it could be taken as roleplay (fantasising about a sleazy encounter on drugs), which is how I saw it. Some viewers saw it as a request for drugs, but there's no other indication that this character uses drugs.

Despite the title, not many bugs. One stink-bug is shown in close-up, a house is fumigated (without bugs being seen), and cockroaches are talked about. The title is more of a metaphor so don't worry about bug-centric horror scenes or anything.

Some viewers may be uncomfortable with the relationship between a college-aged tutor and his high-school-aged pupil (there's kissing but no sex between them). Also, there is a scene where three people inadvertently witness a consensual sexual encounter while hiding under a table; the witnesses don't want to be there, and the couple don't know they're not alone, so it's quite an uncomfortable scene.

For me, no. Two people are tied up tightly and painfully, and one of them is pushed down the stairs while tied up, which may count as torture. Overall, the violence in this film is much more fighting/confrontation than torture, which makes a difference for me personally as someone who really dislikes seeing torture.

The back of someone's head is hit/smashed with a large rock; I would not describe it as "squashed". The victim survives. We see the rock come down, and blood, but we don't see the injury directly.

(SPOILERS) In an intense climactic scene, a young boy has a seizure and there's doubt over whether he can get to hospital in time to save his life. To me, the film left it ambiguous as to whether he dies or not. But it's a strong possibility.

Ambiguous. A tutor and his pupil begin a romantic relationship (only kissing is shown). We also know that the pupil was involved with her previous tutor, who wants to resume the relationship when he returns from overseas. That's the previous tutor's side of the story; it's not clear whether the student thinks there is a commitment.

No real jump scares. Some scenes involving violence can be unsettling to some but there are NO sudden jumpscares like in a ghost horror movie. Also there are no scary looking ghost like characters. You can comfortably watch the full movie without worrying about any jumpscares.

It's not someone with a specific disorder, more someone who has been through a lot of stress, isolation and trauma including recently fighting for their life and they snap. I didn't feel it played specifically into the 'let's portray people with mental illness as violent' trope, but when they become violent because of everything they've been through they're basically having a breakdown, so may still be triggering for that reason.

No, but a father and his son and daughter are stuck hiding under a table while a couple has sex on the couch next to them. This may be uncomfortable or triggering.

not very much, but there is a scene where 2 (consenting adult) people touch each other through their clothes. you see them clearly doing so and there is moaning and stuff, but no nudity. it goes on for a few minutes as 3 people hiding under a table have to hear it, unwittingly to the 2 parties engaging sexually.

Not sure why everybody says it has a happy ending. It definitely does not, and is actually one of the more emotionally devastating movies I’ve seen.

There is a scene of flash flooding; we see people struggling through floodwaters and a house with water levels almost to the ceiling. Nobody drowns.
