It’s implied. Anyone sensitive to dog pain sounds or crying etc should be mindful of both scenes with the lab and the Boston terrier. Nothing explicit or graphic tho.

They are being possessed/influenced by a demonic/supernatural presence and are not in their right minds, but this is a heavy theme in almost all the flashback scenes.

Technically yes - Kaylie believes her father to be innocent due to the power of the mirror.

Yes, very much so. Choking, and offscreen torture. All instances are because of the mirror controlling people who otherwise loved eachother, if that makes it any better. I guess that makes it worse, actually.

The mirror itself is able to manipulate mentally people and frequently makes the characters doubt their own sanity.

Yes, a dog is placed in front of the mirror in a cage and covered to 'feed' it in order to give it strength.
Visually, the dog is let out and escapes, but it's implied that this was a hallucination.

Yes, two dogs. Nothing is seen on camera but they can be heard. Both were 'eaten' by the mirror (vanished), one of them only being implied to be, visually he escaped the house.

On screen, a photo of a woman's face who had eaten through a live power line was briefly held up to the camera, her entire mouth around the lips area is exposed.
