As usual in a horror movie, people do die, also women. At least one dies scared and suddenly, without having much of a possibility to stop it from happening.

Not traditionally, but the whole concept of the movie is based on a child's toy putting him in life-threatening situations.

At least at about 24:52 the camera passes quickly by a sad goldfish bowl. There is movement, so apparently a fish too. As we know nowadays, bowls are not acceptable for fish, especially goldfish. The fish isn't mentioned and the abuse isn't exactly active, but in my opinion worth noting.

I can’t remember whether his limbs were broken or dislocated but Chucky uses what i believe to be a voodoo doll of some sorts against John when he goes to visit him, I unfortunately don’t have a time stamp but for reference just skip from the moment chucky takes out the voodoo doll in his hands (he doesn’t start hurting John until after finishing his mini monologue) and then skip to whatever scene is next that isn’t in John’s apartment
