we're shown a character's mother wordlessly wheeled away from her to be hospitalized, and they both have vacant expressions so there is no crying or distress or goodbyes from either of them. and we don't know how often she was allowed to see her mother again after that.

There's not much brutalization in the film overall so the disparity with that context is stark. 2 men are given maybe 5 second violence scenes, whereas women are shown beheaded, scalped, strangled, restrained, and there's a longer crazed man directing anger at a woman scene.

None explicit. Domestic violence is lightly implied, one character is shown to have alcohol misuse and anger issues which causes the seperation of his marriage. a nonhuman entity that seems to stand in for the wife panics and runs at the presence for the nonhuman entity standing-in for him.

Not really, there are aspects of unreality. A character is (reasonably) doubted by his therapist when describing the back rooms.

Depends if you consider being chased to be stalking for this trigger, being chased or hunted down by a mysterious thing is prominent in a few sequences. Surveillance elements are prominent.

As other comments suggest there is nuance, for me this trigger still applies to the seagull. A seagull in the opening sequence is seen crashing into a space and seeming to die, when looked at up close it moves and flies off again alive again but later the presumably same seagull is seen dead and bloody by another character. As no other seagull inside this space is shown (in the sky outside alive flying yes) to me it is the same seagull and to a degree we do see it's death and body, but it's still more of an off screen death. Hope this helps clear this up.

The dead seagulls are at the beginning after the person filming gets to the central hub (it flies in with a squawk and then is shown dead), and then when Clark's in the backrooms shortly after looking at the area with the stop sign (just dead on the floor)

Not clear mutilation to a hand but a creature reaches through a door after another character at one point, which previously had an unharmed hand and then with no explanation other than maybe breaking through the door has a hand that almost looks like flesh has come away from bones on the fingers. This is not gorey or clear or focused on just a detail I noticed as hand damage triggers me so I focused on it and wondered if the hand would further deteriorate or damage after that but it doesn't and I didn't really notice it again even though you see it's hands later. Also brief distant unclear shot of what is suggested to be a severed hand in the shadows on the floor at one point after the therapist enters the backrooms.

at one point she trips running over the tops of couches in a room stuffed with them, and she is shown to be in pain and limps for the rest of the movie.
i am sensitive to leg bone/tendon snaps, but to me it looked more like she just twisted her ankle. which, while also painful, is not nearly as horrific to try to walk on.

To me it wasn't clear that she broke her leg, it seemed more like she lands on it weird and twists it while jumping through the couches. She is hobbling for several scenes, but there was no blood or bone showing. She has long pants on as well.

as someone who can be very sensitive to this trigger, i would say that during the scene where the therapist stumbles upon the mural on the wall, the music got very trippy and morphed into sounds that got very similar to sounding like crying infants to my ear. and i assumed that was intentional.
a lot of ambiguous, uncanny distorted sounds used in the score of this film, but that was the only scene that evoked the sound of babies crying imo.

I would mark this as a yes. There is a still life character in the backrooms who is a wheelchair user potentially a little person but because these are distorted 'creatures' (others have distorted faces like multiple eyes etc and fingers maybe) it may be their size is distorted rather than intending to be a person with a form of dwarfism or little person especially as they are attached to a small lamp that looks like it has been shrunk. It's unclear in the film and on IMDB if the character is played by anyone or if this is actually an animatronic or puppet etc. The character is referred to by another character as a 'wheelchair guy' which didn't feel nice myself being a wheelchair user viewing the film and how wheelchair users are reduced to a chair over their personhood but the character is also not a real person or a big part of the film. It would be nice if an actual person with a matching disability had been used to play the character and that doesn't seem to be the case but unsure. Depending on your definition of disability another character who is a real person in flashbacks is established/suggested as severely mentally ill and is shown in hospital in a wheelchair as well when more catatonic. The actress playing this character has apparently also played other characters with neurological conditions or mental illness previously and has spoken campaigning for mental health and spoken about her husbands burnout related breakdown so that was really good and nice to see actually when doing some reading. I found that depiction not problematic and not inaccurate. As someone with physical disabilities, a wheelchair user, and who developed severe mental illness that is depicted (paranoid psychosis) as a result of my neurological deterioration I very much do include severe mental illness as a disability itself, this character appears to be played by someone not sharing this disability etc but that's not clear and the actress seems to have closer lived experience with a loved one and of campaigning potentially for mental health. Regardless as a viewer I was not triggered by clear 'cripping up' and other than the phrase 'wheelchair guy' I didn't find any depictions upsetting. I'm most bothered by inaccurate or stigmatising depictions of anything and I did not find this to be the case.

Death of a mother is suggested, but not established or depicted. Flashbacks establish severe (mental) illness and there are elements of visual story telling that suggest they are no longer alive or present in a characters life but this isn't established or made explicit.

Not shown, but a major character's mother is implied to be dead or at least not present in her life. The last time the mother is seen is in a hospital-like setting, though it could be a psychiatric hospital, as she shows signs of paranoia in a previous scene.

at the start of the film during the first person recording, a seagull flies in with a loud noise. shortly after, it gets up and flies away with another loud noise.
during a childhood flashback of a main character, she is seen peeking out the window before her mother loudly calls her name suddenly with a loud noise accompanying it.
the last one i can remember is near the end, when a main character is being chased and while crawling on the ground due to fatigue, all gets quiet until the entity chasing her appears up and center in the camera with a startling noise
i may have missed one in my recollection but these are the most major jumpscares in my opinion

Lots of claustrophobic moments, claustrophobia isn't just an issue with small spaces (of which there are many) but of cleithrophobia (fear of being trapped). Noone gets stuck in the small spaces they go through but people do still get trapped or cornered too in relatively more open spaces but still enclosed with no escape and a sense of being deep within a place not easy to get out of quickly at all. The maze like spaces feel claustrophobic and cleithraphobic to me all the time and some are worse when crawling through smaller spaces, the fact hand held camera is used sometimes for these makes those 10x more claustrophobic because the camera view is more enclosed. I'm claustrophobic and cleithraphobic and this was not the most claustrophobic film nor unwatchable compared to some films I couldn't get through but this does have claustrophobia and tension to it. A lot of the worst sequences don't last long.

There are a few mannequins and a mannequin head in two sequences within a larger chase sequence, less clear and prominent in the scenery, there are also actual character creature things that almost have a mannequin likeness but not intended to be mannequins and not read as mannequins clearly. There is more of a jump scare with the sequence with 'mannequins' poking out of the floor where a creature comes out of the dark almost like a mannequin coming to life but it's slightly more gradual than a sudden jump scare. Two people so far voted no but as someone with a mannequin phobia I would say yes but they are so unfocused on that you could miss this, I found it less triggering to this phobia personally but unnerving.

Audio and sound design is definitely some of the most horror inducing parts of the film generally. A scalping moment that is largely not seen on camera has intense audio to it for me for example. Other injuries (a neck bite with blood, a neck stab without blood gore or injury detail, a stomach plunge without blood or gore) again it is more the sound than the visuals. Flies audio enhances a sense of gore at points as well.

Not named but a central character has nightmares and flashbacks and lots of suggestions they aren't coping well with past trauma, most of which is understated or left unsaid. I found in being a good performance and being captured well the more subtle ways can sometimes be more triggering because it's more accurate but also less triggering in it being done well rather than insultingly

Character in flashbacks and backstory suggested as having severe mental illness, paranoid psychosis potentially (I have lived experience personally so this is a trigger of mine - I was not triggered or upset by this), brief depictions not extreme, insensitive or inaccurate, there is a short scene within a (likely psychiatric) hospital of the same character being calmly wheeled in a wheelchair. There are also suggestions of lost sanity with a central character and mental health is a strong theme throughout thematically around the mind and one character is a therapist/psychiatrist who also seems to be struggling with past trauma

Flashing and flickering lights throughout in the form of strip lighting in certain rooms flickering or coming on or off. I'm photosensitive (mainly to types of patterns rather than flashes as badly) and found most of these okay in that the majority are in the background less focused and not filling the whole screen or picture to give a strong effect or strong contrast and the pattern to them isn't super triggering. One sequence as the therapist finally enters the store is when the flashing became more problematic for me up until she goes through the wall but not too bad for me personally and I didn't even need to fully avoid the trigger as I do with other things. That's specific to me only and my photosensitivity I've never considered extreme especially for flashing compared to patterns.

As a wheelchair user viewing the film a main character referring to a wheelchair user entity as a 'wheelchair guy' (this is not a threatening or harmful character) stung as it felt like it reinforces seeing the chair before a person and dehumanising but the character is also not human so the context means it is not explicit ableist hate but more that subtle everyday ableism that still gets you down a little in the moment

Before Bobby and Kat enter the Backrooms, Clark mentions tying everyone up (in his interpretation, to make everyone attached to a rope so they wouldn’t get lost.) This is misinterpreted, and Bobby replies with, “kinky.” So brief sexual content is hinted but nothing more.

There is no sexual assault, but the main woman does fall and roll onto her back, then the monster crawls on top of her trying to bite her. I had a split second thought of "I really hope they aren't doing that," so this scene could be potentially triggering for some people. It is very short, though.

No, but there is a reference to a song ‘it’s just a burning memory’ which is from an album solely designed to the listener feel as if they are experiencing dementia.
Very small part of the movie, and it’s mixed with ‘we’ll meet again’. I thought I’d put this here just in case!

Multiple therapy scenes discussing mental health, behaviour and loneliness, as well as the backrooms itself invoking similar themes alongside themes of nostalgia, memory and similar existential/cosmic horror themes

As said a main character is living at his workplace (furniture store) and is not in his home during the film. Certain sequences in flashback have a sense of lost home to them for another character. There is one character depicted briefly (extra) who is pushing a trolly and examining a bottle that I read as homeless and who IMDB credits as "Homeless man".

Spoilers:
The ending is left ambiguous, but it’s clearly not a “happy/good” ending.

Spoilers!
- A man is dragged away by an entity and leaves behind a trail of blood on the floor.
- A dead seagull on the floor of the backrooms is visibly gory, but we do not see it be killed.
- Towards the end of the movie, Mary smashes the side of the entity's face with a small piece of concrete. I don't remember it being particularly gory, but it was still intense. If you don't want to see, look away when the entity climbs over her on the ground. You can see her reach into her pocket for the concrete before it happens.
Kitchen (in the backrooms) scene:
- Clark opens the fridge, and a human head is inside.
- Clark slides a knife into the neck of one of the "people" (they're not actually people, they just look like people with messed up faces i.e extra eyes) and then breaks off a few chunks of his stomach (it's not flesh and blood like a real stomach, rather a white, styrofoam-like material). There is technically no blood during this part, but it's still disturbing and one might expect to see blood at first, so I included it.
- Clark scalps the woman in the red coat (mostly off-screen, but we see the end result). If you don't wanna see, look away when he approaches the red-coat woman with the knife.
- The entity bites Clark on the neck, which we see, and then throws him aside (there is visible blood on his shirt and skin as he's thrown. If you don't wanna see, look away when the entity picks him up and brings him close. You will hear the screaming as it happens, but the scene switches somewhat quickly to focus on another character. Mary is somewhat sprayed with blood during this scene.
I don't believe there were any other moments worth writing down as gore, but hopefully others will fill in any gaps!

Most of the gore and violence happens off-screen, with only sound and implication (though there is still some gore, I would not consider it over-the-top).

A female character is tied to a chair and taunted psychologically. She is shown in great distress but there is no physical torture.

minor spoiler i guess, so warning:
but there are several "copies" that spawn in the Backrooms of people who've been there, but they come out "wrong". like how a copy of a copy of a copy of an image starts to degrade.
so some people are shown with multiple eyes or noses where there shouldn't be, and otherwise disproportioned bodies.

MAYBE SPOILER WARNING. I would say there’s implied cannibalism or hints of cannibalism but not direct cannibalism. I was very confused by people marking this as yes before watching the movie and after watching it I would say it’s very mild cannibalism if you really read into it. There are monsters that look like humans and one of the main characters says that you can eat them. He then cuts up one of the monsters but the inside of the monster is not human like at all, it looks like stuffing or a mushroom. He puts it on plates but nodody actually eats it on screen. A monster that looks like a human also bites a human but it’s a brief scene and I think it was more of a ”bite attack” rather than the monster actually eating the human as a meal, at least nothing but the bite is seen in the movie. Someone else mentioned this but I have a different perspective; a human head is stored in a fridge and another person commenting seemed to think it was to be eaten or had been eaten off screen, I personally just think the head was stored in the fridge because you normally store corpses in a cold environment.

A knife is used to skin the scalp from a living human-like “creature”. There is no pain/reaction but it might be uncomfortable to watch.

Yes, it's in the neck. The character is stated as "not being able to feel pain" and does not react to having the knife slid into his throat. Once Clark picks up the knife during the kitchen scene and approaches the bearded man, look away.

A character dies after being falling down a steep passage, but it is not the fall that kills them.

Sort of. Someone falls down a steeply descending hallway where rope is required to get in/out.

This happens at two points, a main character is choked out by another character. Then a character is also knocked out via gas.
