A major plot point of a movie is a woman who was abused in the past. A later scene depicts the protagonist experiencing said womans memories of abuse. Nothing too graphic.

The girl with albinism that wrote the stories is repeatedly blamed by her family for crimes she didn't do, to where all the townsfolk believe she committed them and try to stay away from her. She's even sent to a mental institution by her family to try and convince her she did them through shock therapy and other methods.

Not exactly amputation but there is a scene where various body parts (arms, legs, head, and torso) fall down a fireplace and reconnect forming one whole body . In another scene the monster gets hit by a car and falls apart, reconnecting again. Not technically amputation but still may be distressing If amputation bothers you
