Going off of definitions, gaslighting implies lying to someone in an attempt to make them question their sanity, memory, or reasoning. What happens in the movie is plain old lying or omitting information.

It isn't fully shown, but towards the end you can see the main creature holding a submarine in it's mouth, which has a (not visible, but audible through radio) person inside, and off camera the creature crushes the submarine with the person inside

Not literally but he is trapped in a submarine and there are multiple very claustrophobic moments in an area beneath the main room of the submarine. For those that struggle with the claustrophobia of being buried alive, this might check the same boxes.

Towards the end the character develops blisters/bumpy skin rashes that could trigger some people.

There are also a couple of black and white images that could be slightly upsetting

It's not entirely clear if it's a ghost or just a hallucination, but it is definitely a dead person who appears and disappears, leading to a discovery of a previous person having been on, and died on, the same vessel as the main character.

my timestamps are not exact i apologize:
21 minutes: audio only. the after the welder looks through the window
1 hr 13: audio only. during the audio recording i'm not sure if it's gagging but it kind of sounds like it towards the middle and end of the recording
1 hr 27: audio and visual
1 hr 43: coughs up blood but safe
1 hr 54: audio (not really visual) when convict exits the crawlspace he makes triggering sounds

as a severe emetophobe, all scenes were tolerable aside from 1 hr 27 and 1 hr 54.

There is a large monstrous creature that could be interpreted as demonic. It (maybe?) causes hallucinations?

Unless you count the leather harness Mark wears under his shirt for apparently no reason... no.

Not really? He’s criticized for it but it’s not about his gender at all (it’s bc what he’s doing is “for the greater good”)

After the main character flashes his X-ray camera directly at people one definitely develops terminal cancer, and others get radiation damage, implied tumors/ cancer

An ongoing theme of the movie is existence and meaning of actions.

The ending implies that there is hope for humanity as a whole, but none of the characters we see survive the end of the movie.

It is not a traditional nuclear bomb, but it is slightly implied that the explosion at the end is nuclear. In an early scene, the main character is reading a manual about the ship, where it says using the X-ray camera compounds the radiation effect. I wasn't 100% clear if this was meant to be set up for the later explosion or not, but it could be.
