Not stalked, but there is a scene where the main character leaves her house only to be confronted by another person who she does not want to see. She was also trying to evade a horde of reporters at her front door.

There is lying and manipulation. It's not gaslighting in the typical sense of an abuser/victim dynamic where the abuser convinces the victim that they are insane.

The plot revolves around the death of Harlan Thrombey, whose throat was cut. There's a clear shot of his body when it's found at the start of the movie, and the event is depicted on screen in a flashback (the knife is shown raised into position, but then the camera switches to a reaction shot, not showing the actual cutting).

An important plot point is that one character vomits every time she lies. This happens about 4 times in the movie. The first 3 times she vomits into a container or semi-offscreen so we don't see much, but we hear noises. The final time she vomits onto another character's face, and it's really graphic. There are also a couple of other moments when she gags but doesn't vomit.

Noting that "Does someone die by suicide?" is treated as a separate question, with the implication that this question concerns attempts that don't result in death, then the answer to this question is No.

I was somewhat affected by the old man's bedroom (which is rather small and windowless, has sloping walls and is filled with objects) and the less-than-full-size-door, narrow hallway and narrow stairway leading to the room. In fact, the door was what bothered me the most.

throughout the movie we hear from several suspects that all describe marta in very disrespectful ways (not outward racist but potentially triggering nonetheless) It is an important part of the narrative that that makes them bad people and that they are in the wrong. so even if its effectively used for character building its still in the movie

debatable. harlan's medication in the film is said to be for his shoulder injury and to help him sleep.
But, Harlan is given said meds through a PICC which would imply a longer-term illness. This is never discussed or brought up in the film however.
