Dies the beginning, lives at the end!! Death is not graphic, but still scary, and sad. The body is seen throughout the film (as far in as an hour) as part of the horror.

Moths are shown throughout the movie, there is a bug zapper specifically shown to be very active. Moths are put in a jar with no holes in it ad a kid asks "I wonder how long they can last without air", etc. There are demons, small animal like creatures, that are killed en masse.

The young boys dog dies (actually is sacrificed, shown being lifted above a kids head and twirled around) and the body (mercifully, it is depicted by a very obvious stuffed animal) is constantly used throughout the movie for scare factor. The body is stuffed in a car, driven around to a vet that is closed, found in a bed with a bloody mouth, etc.

A child presses his hands against a man's face and the man's head collapses in on itself, gushing fluids. The head then falls to the ground, falling apart. Despite this, there is no blood, just a weird viscous liquid.

A character's mother, who had died 6 months previously, comes back from the grave to visit her child, and turns from a beautiful apparition into the dead dog. It's not gruesome, just a bit PG-13 disturbing.

No needles or syringes, but a child gets a long needle-like thorn stuck in their hand, which they slowly pull out.

Aside from horror-related freak outs, the main character cries in front of everyone after being scared and holes up behind a closed door upstairs. Brief moment.
