the whole premise is two detectives trying to track down a girl, but they are also being watched and their tails are interacted with multiple times. no traditional stalking though afair

The way a woman dies in the opening scene is kind of a spectacle but I don't think it counts based on this definition.

A young teen is being manipulated by a man "three times her age" in the beginning of the movie- this is quickly punished and shown as nothing but reprehensible. Later another teen is watching porn with adults, but nothing sexual happens to the teen and one of these adults is also punished. A couple of children are caught in the violence of the movie. One could certainly argue that Halloway is abusive, or at least negligent, to his daughter but he doesn't mean to be.

the (definitely fake) pet fish are removed and thrown at another person but it wasn't done to torture the fish in particular and there wasn't any sadistic focus on them 'dying', they just bounce off the person they're thrown at and some comments are made but that's all

A man punches through glass and is injured. It seems to be mostly his wrist that is cut up but his hand is also covered in blood. Another character's hand gets stepped on. A man gets his hand slammed in a car door and reacts in pain.

About 10 mins in he punches through a window and cuts himself pretty bad, gags a bit because “that’s a lot of blood” he says and then stumbles over to faint from seeing blood.
The dead body scene mentioned is about 40ish mins in

Halloway, entirely accidentally, cuts his wrist and nearly bleeds out early in the movie. It's graphic enough to be potentially triggering despite not being intentional.

March falls asleep while driving and dreams about Healy showing him an ankle gun hidden under his pant leg, the car begins to drive itself, and a giant talking bee is sitting in the backseat smoking.
March later hallucinates seeing Richard Nixon after he falls from the roof of a building into a pool.

Not flashing in a way that could trigger a seizure reaction, but there’s a party scene that has imagery moving quickly that could cause over-stimulation.
