Not explicitly pedophilia but Edward is very child-like and innocent so it comes across this way when an older woman attempts to seduce him.

Edward is clearly uncomfortable with an older woman’s advances, and does not have the social skills to read the situation and verbalize his discomfort before it gets inappropriate. Edward is straddled and caressed before abruptly standing up and walking out the door.

Although there is a brief scene (see the "is there sexual assault?" question) in which an older woman makes sexual advances towards Edward and turns the story around to pin the blame on him, there are no jokes made about sexual assault on men as the one answer to this question implies.

SPOILER!
Jim is stabbed and pushed out a window near the end of the film in an act of self-defense after attacking Edward and Kim. The scene is very brief, with minimal blood. More shocking than scary.

Someone dies (partially) onscreen when they are stabbed and pushed out a window near the end of the film. However, the character who dies is an antagonist throughout the entire film, and dies as a result of self-defense. The scene is very brief and happens quickly with minimal blood.

Edward has many autistic traits. With that in mind, Edward is mistreated and ostracized quite often in the film. Characters mistreat him in much the same way autistic people are mistreated.

Kim comes home from a trip unannounced not knowing that Edward is staying in her room. She is about to undress if I remember correctly and Edward is watching her awkwardly, he isn’t doing so to be creepy he is a little startled himself and doesn’t exactly know what to do until she sees him and starts screaming.
