In a very brief ~20 second moment during an early hallucination, the protagonist hallucinates about this. It's brief, dreamlike, and seems to be taking place from a distance.

Protagonist is addicted to hallucinations from psychedelics, but doesn't seem to be addicted to the drugs themselves, if that makes sense.

A monitor lizard's body is shown dead and gutted, graphically.
A sheep has a rock thrown out at it's head, is dragged away and yells out in distress, and is eaten, graphically. The gore of the remainder of it's corpse is shown after.

Movie contains apparently un-simulated footage of a dog and sheep being struck in the face by the protagonist. There's definitely a reason this movie doesn't have the "No Animals Were Harmed" disclaimer.

There's body horror, but no character at any point remarks on seeing something negative about themselves that other people can't see.
