I've just watched the 1988 version of the movie and there were no dead birds, nor dead crabs, not a single dead animal in the movie... There are two versions of it. Don't you guys mix it up with the later Hollywood version? (1993 and from the exact same director, George Sluizer.)

An accident is talked about that results in a character losing fingers. Nothing graphic is shown. The actor is missing those fingers in real life, you can see that in some shots. You don't see any amputation on screen.

Guys, please note that this is about the 1988 movie. No kids die, no animals die, no jumpscares, etc. Check out the movie description above, and if necessary, make a new profile for the 1993 Hollywood version. This is for the 1988 movie.

Existentialism is a primary theme for the 1988 film. Direct conversations are had about free-will and predestination. A man struggles to come to terms with the disappearance and possible death of his wife. He discusses life's meaning and the desire for answers to life's questions. He ultimately has to make a big existential decision at the end of the film.
