By certain metrics, you could consider the way a character is tricked into sex by someone assuming a false identity to qualify as rape, but the way this happens is fantastical and bears little realism.

No, but a dog's corpse with rotten, empty eye sockets is shown. It's a brief shot, very late in the film - after the protagonist is bitten by the vourdalak and runs downstairs into a room where the family is gathered.

Sheets are described as "souillés" by a child, which could be interpreted as either soiled or simply sullied - the substance is ambiguous wet rot.

While there is a trans-coded character treated poorly for being trans, they don't go by a chosen name.

There is a character who, by the standards of the time period the film is set in, is characterized as transgender; this character's presentation is repeatedly denigrated by their male family members.

To be clear - the mixed answers here pertain to whether a transfeminine character who dies qualifies as canonically LGBT, the death itself is not contentious.

There is no full nudity, one brief bare chest, partial bare ass and no onscreen genitals. "Yes" votes refer to the mostly implied partial nudity during a sex scene.
