At around 50 minutes in, a character comes back from offscreen with an injury where a bone is sticking out from his arm (or at least it looks that way). It's not close up but is visible in frame for a while

Technically they are still human but they are in an evil form and not really seen as human. But they are possessed so they are still human.

It’s a horror movie, so yeah, people obviously probably die. Though technically they get possessed and their souls get consumed but the Deadite violently die so.

Characters have panic attacks as they struggle to understand what's happening and try to survive, these panic attacks get more severe as the film goes on and ends up placing the main character into a state of constant duress and mistrust of his psyche

It's a amateur student film made on a budget so they didn't have any professional camera rigs, most scenes are filmed hand held and in pov form so there are high levels of shakeyness

The camera acts as a POV for some characters in the film, so sometimes actors look directly into the camera to simulate looking at the person or entity. Characters also run from the camera in some POV sequences when they are being chased.

The car doesn't actually crash. There's a scene where a character has to swerve to avoid an accident, and another scene where the road is blocked, preventing the characters from escaping by car. Otherwise no actual car crashes.

There’s a lot of blood and gore throughout the movie. Lots of squirting blood, guts, etc. The last few minutes of the movie is pretty gruesome.
