The antagonist of the film hunts down the antagonist once he learns her identity. He enters her home and breaks things - could be triggering.

The main antagonist’s children are dismissed out of hand, but he never directs his anger toward them. Still, the coldness might be uncomfortable for some viewers

Ahhh!!! If you’re a cat person once it gets to the scene where he gets out of the tub and the older man is asleep on the toilet - cover your eyes and ears for about 3 minutes.

I mean arguably we do witness a marital rape in the sense that the wife tried to retract consent but the husband isn’t having any of it

The villain has sex with his wife that is initially very consensual, but when she starts to express discomfort, he covers her mouth with a grotesquely wounded and bloody hand and keeps going.

No cutting that I noticed, but there are some scars that look like cut marks across the main character's neck that she received as a child.
The creature does accidentally scratch one of the characters when startled, causing claw marks across their arm.

The wounds in this movie are... disturbingly realistically portrayed. One man is repeatedly shot and then, while still alive and begging, drug around by a bullet hole in his cheek. Akin to a fish on a hook.

Quite a bit of nudity (mostly from main character) in this film. She is shown naked in a tub masturbating twice. She gets naked again and gets in the shower with the creature. She's also naked again with him in the bathroom shortly after.

No, but this movie does show a homophobic scene. A gay man is told to leave a restaurant (this movie does take place in 1950's America).

There is nudity. There are two female masturbation scenes. There is a heterosexual s*x scene. Anda major plot is the consensual sexual/romantic relationship between the fish man and the female main character.

A primary source of gore is one of the characters having his fingers bitten off, reattached, and them subsequently rotting off throughout the film (in one scene, he rips them off and throws them at another character). In another scene, a character shoots another through the cheek and sticks his finger through it, pulling him up by the wound. Very squicky, not for the squeamish.
