For a very short part of the movie, a father figure is verbally abusive and emotionally abusive (flushing a pet).

It's subtle, but the father is emotionally abuse and toxic. He indulges her by buying her the gator then swing into rage without warning and flushes it

A character swigs alcohol when hunting the alligator, but it’s not inherently clear he abuses it. Probably not best to skull it whilst hunting a giant alligator, though…

At the beginning of the movie, a man is shown stealing dogs off the street and bringing them to an animal testing lab to be used for experiments.
in another scene, a scientist explains how they cut the larynx of the dogs so they can't make a lot of noise while they're in their cages. And then a couple of dogs pitifully try and park. It can be very upsetting for people.

Someone threatens to, but he's probably bluffing.

The movie is about an alligator killing people in a sewer system, so there are frequently scenes down in the enclosed sewer space.

There are flashlights in a "sewer" (likely more of a storm drain system).

The female character serves little purpose other than offering a book to the main character (so he can study himself, instead of the alligator specialist telling him, of course) and being a sexual/romantic interest.

A car and boat crash with explosions. A car is crushed, and characters inside die. Could be very distressing for car crash victims.
