There are multiple shots of people drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes but it's never really implied that the characters struggle with an addiction with either.

there is repeated mention of animal blood (implied sacrificing), as well as a close-up scene of a horribly brutilised dog (we do not see the death occur but the remains are shown and are extremely graphic).

A character shaves the face and cuts the hair of a man who is comatose. This happens when the main character visits the hospital and enters the comatose man's room to see a girl there. This is a long scene and is shot very close-up.

Four characters hang themselves. This is very graphic and it happens just as the main character is exploring a manhole beneath the bridge. Their dead bodies are used as a jump scare.

If you closed your eyes during a lot of the graphic scenes, you would still hear what is happening. Especially the scene where the girl stabs herself in the sauna.

In the beginning a character shows cuts that appear to be due to self harm. Later a character states that she tried to kill herself and shows a scar claiming it to be due to her attempt, but then laughs and states it was where she fell on a shelf while rollarblading. She then states if she were to self harm, the cuts would be more severe

If whispering and lip sounds bother you, this is not the movie to see. I found it really disturbing and I didn't even know this could be a trigger.

A character stabs herself repeatedly in the face while being haunted by some kind of entity (she dies from this). Four characters are also found hanging from a bridge which is not suitable for anyone who is sensitive to these kind of visuals.

Among the things on the cult’s manifesto is that menstruation doesn’t determine gender. The cult is shown as evil, although it’s unclear whether everything on the manifesto is also supposed to be read as such.

Toward the end, an 18-year-old girl sort of cuddles up to the older male protagonist for a moment. It's not explicit, but it might skeeve you out.
