I don't know how people are saying no!
A husband is extremely cruel to his wife. There is also the extreme threat of violence.
Another couple clearly can't stand one another and are cruel.

There is a cat trapped in a cage that they suggest they're going to do cruel (probably fatal) experiments on.

It doesn't appear until ≈ an hour into the movie and it's clearly fake, but if bugs are a serious trigger for you might be worth skipping

A character tries to force himself on a woman in a movie theater. Brief, not extreme, but noticeable.

Sort of- since there is a lot of fear in this film and it's the central theme- a lot of the characters sound/act like they're struggling to breathe when afraid.

Spinal fractures(?) are a very central theme throughout the movie. There are x-rays shown.

A character is injected with a drug, the needle is shown and it's a 1950s syringe so it's intense.

A deaf character is referred to as "deaf and dumb" and a "deaf-mute." She is played by a hearing and speaking actress who learned some ASL for the role, however I can't attest to its accuracy.
When she's present, she's discussed like she isn't in the room, and when she's not in the room they talk about her like she's a test specimen.
