There is human experimentation, some of the subjects die in a gruesome way.
Some of them are tortured with high frequency sounds which hurts the symbiotes and (presumably) the hosts too.

It's especially awful with the first human trial with the symbiote. He literally screams and sounds like he is in extreme pain until he dies. It sounds like his bones are breaking clearly. There was also heavy manipulation from the CEO directing the experiment (comparing the homeless person to a child sacrifice in the bible).

The symbiosis and the way it's portrayed can be very similar to dissociation and derealization. It's not an actual depiction, but it's similar enough that it could trigger it!

Some might assume that Eddie was going to kill himself, because he was depressed and holding the engagement ring of his previous girlfriend while on the bridge. I don't believe his intention was suicide.

Chewing noises after venom attaches to Eddie in his apartment and in the restaurant. Eddie eats rancid chicken. Crunching/chewing noises at the Malaysian market when the woman/symbiote eats an eel. The yellow symbiote is very trypophobia inducing as well if that upsets you.

You could argue that Venom is constantly in Eddie’s head. At the start of the movie, he wouldn’t know this. When Venom first talks, he says “don’t open the door” right before Eddie’s door is knocked on. He looks outside and nobody is there, but it was a trap to get him to let his guard down. Carlton’s men storm the apartment.
