Jamie returns to his hometown in search of answers to his wife's murder, which occurred after receiving a weird package containing a ventriloquist dummy named Billy, which may be linked to the legend of ventriloquist Mary Shaw.

The detective shaves briefly more than once, using an electric razor; no foam. There's also cutting, but we don't see it happen.

I don't think so, but a man falls a few meters and is then abruptly stopped mid-air and dies, which is reminiscent of a hanging.

Psychologically. Also, there are "unnecessarily" painful murders, and we're told that a woman had her tongue cut off while alive.

SPOILERS: Sort of; a man falls from the catwalk of a theater, is caught by a ghost before he hits the ground, and then the ghost kills him. So, we see him fall, but he doesn't die from impact.

Kind of? Near the beginning of the movie, when (Spoiler) Billy kills the main guy’s gf, she spits out quite a bit of blood because he ripped out her tongue. So not *technically* vomiting, but it could definitely be triggering

Speculating here... A woman wants to be made to look like a doll after her death (and not just through makeup). This may be due to a type of body dysmorphia.

No, but a pregnant (not visibly) woman is horribly murdered, which of course also kills her baby (foetus).
