ReportElsa and Clive, two young rebellious scientists, defy legal and ethical boundaries and forge ahead with a dangerous experiment: splicing together human and animal DNA to create a new organism.

Briefly, towards the end, the renewed flying creature stalks the female character. 1:34:17-1:35:30 until he finds her and falls on top of her.

At around 41:45 - 42:55 There is a tense scene where Clive holds toddler Dren underwater until she stops moving. However, her amphibious lungs allow her to survive. Whether he was intentionally trying to hurt Dren or save her is left up to interpretation.

Around 54:30 the creature called Dren kills a rabbit off screen, and is seen eating it all bloody and gory. It's a bit unsettling also because she smiles while doing so.

The creature kills a cat at about 1:11:10. It lasts for only around 10 seconds but is extremely upsetting to watch if you are sensitive to animal harm

A few needles poked here and there because of gene experimentation and cloning. And the entity Dren is drugged with gas at the very beginning.

Yes, the creature when it's at it's infancy, with the idea of lowering a fever, but eventually to try to kill it, maybe, we don't know, since it doesn't die and can breathe under water. 42:10-43:20
Then the main male character is grabbed and held under water in a pond 1:33:00-1:33:28 and he is able to get out of the water though.

Elsa ties dren down when she’s in her adult form, she also removes all of her clothes for no particular reason other than anger (it seems) which adds another layer of discomfort

at 1:18:25 the creature forces itself on one of the characters who tells it to stop. Though the character engages despite his initial refusal, and the scene escalates until 1:20:40 when another character finds them.
at 1:35:00- about 1:36:00 the creature forces itself on another character, the scene is horribly uncomfortable.

Elsa (the main girl) is raped at the end of the film and it’s extremely graphic and disturbing, unsure of the time stamp but it’s right after the male version of dren chases her through the woods. She also becomes pregnant. Definitely skip this part if you’re sensitive to SA

The mail character, Elsa, amputates the tail of the creature. The scene starts around 1:13:30 when she straps the creature, so skip till 1:15:40 if you want to skip it all. Including the tail being put in a cooler for study and research. It made me really uncomfortable when the movie came out and again when rewatching, I had to fast forward after that.

Some cloned creatures kill each other with some type of stingers they have, in a public demonstration, drenching the public in blood. Very gory. Starts 49:10, so jump to 50:04 if you want to skip it completely. I consider them characters because they have names and aré important to the cohesion of the story which leads to the main experiment and creation to the main creature.
Then the main creature is believed to be dead and they bury her. 1:28.00

At the very end it’s safe to assume one of the main characters suffers ptsd, she was raped which followed in a pregnancy and then her husband was murdered. But it’s not directly stated she has ptsd.

There is a sexual relationship between a man and a creature he raised. While it is not biologically related to him, it is to his wife, and he is its clear father figure.

there is a sex scene at 45:20 - 46:45
at 1:12:50 the creature is stripped naked for a surgery. It is not really a sexual scene but it is very uncomfortable, especially with the seemingly unnecessary nudity
Honestly I would recommend just not watching this movie if you're sensitive to sexual content at all, it has some very upsetting and unnecessary scenes that absolutely ruin an already bad movie.
