People disagreeing with or not believing you is not the definition of gaslighting. Gaslighting is a specific crime.

Well… A human morphs into the form of a wolf and the wolf puppet is stabbed … but it turns back into a human before it actually dies.

A teenaged boy is turned into a vampire and subsequently killed in a pretty extended scene. A teenaged girl is turned into a vampire, as well, but subsequently "cured".

Amy is in a number of scenes where she, a minor (high school age) is sexualized. She is pressured into sex by her boyfriend right at the start of the movie (she says specifically no a number of times while making out as he attempts to feel her up, until she is convinced by him to go into bed with him - he ends up being distracted instead). Later she is with the main villain (adult vampire) doing erotic motions in the night club (him grabbing her ass and lifting her skirt), while being hypnotized. Later she undoes her top in front of the main villain while being dressed in very sexualized clothing.

People's bodies changing is not body dysmorphia. Body dysmorphia is when a person obsessively thinks their body is or should be different than it is, to the point of being a mental illness. (For instance, a heavily emaciated person may think that they are fat.) There are no depictions of that in this movie.

The main character's friends believe he is suffering a debilitating paranoid delusion. Rather than show sympathy, his friend Ed uses it to "prank" him into believing he is dying, playing on/mocking his perceived mental illness as a joke.

Potentially hundreds of years. At best, it's still an adult man and a teenaged girl.
