Naked dolls around.
A boss fight with a female character involves her being grossly mutated and having a hive of insects that looks to be in between her legs. It's also a weak spot that players can shoot.

The player can have their hand and/or foot cut off with a chainsaw. The player then retrieves their severed body part as an item.
This game is extremely brutal and gory but less disturbing than a game like Outlast.
Lots of violence. This game is one of the most brutal "Resident Evil'' games ever made.
Whenever a humanoid enemy is shot, stabbed, etc., blood sprays and a wound is seen where they were shot/stabbed/etc.
Whenever the player is attacked, blood is seen on whatever weapons the enemy was using.
Andre is stabbed through the mouth with a metal bar. It happens offscreen.
A man is stabbed through the hand with a knife.
You can get attacked by a man with a chainsaw.

The words "f**k" and "sh*t" are heard in dialogue.
Alongside Revelations 2, this easily has the most swearing out of any game in the series.
Several profanities in the Japanese dialogue.
Around 75 uses of f*ck in the main story and around 30 other uses in the DLC's. There are uses of c*cksucker, sh*t and numerous other swears throughout the game.
LOTS of profanity. Plenty of uses of the F word and other profanities.

Unlabeled bottles can be found around the main house. Presumably alcohol. The player can craft med-kits to heal themselves using herbs and "chem fluid." You can also find steroids throughout the game, which give you a permanent health boost.

The game is especially intense in virtual reality.
This is one of if not the most intense Resident Evil games ever made. Previous titles, while scary at times, always had a corny B-Movie feel to them while this one is much darker and violent. At times it can feel like a black comedy of sorts, but it is still intense.
The whole game is filled with scary imagery and effective jump scares. Not for the faint of heart.
The game is scary, but not as disturbing and terrifying as Outlast.
By far the scariest game in the series
The Baker Family are extremely scary in terms of personality and actions, though they're also quite darkly comedic.
The house is very scary, with lots of decayed and disgusting stuff strewn about.
The Molded are very deformed and scary looking, not to mention they're also hard to kill. There's also molded growth on the walls and other places throughout the house.
It's strongly implied that at least twenty people were brutally murdered and cannibalised. One victim in particular was burned to death.
