A cat dies, is brought back to life, and then killed again onscreen, twice. It's obviously a puppet but the sound effects/gore can be a lot to take in.

Yes, there is a black cat who dies, is re-animated, and then killed again. It is obviously a puppet for all of those scenes though

A dead cat is seen in a fridge. The cat later returns as a zombie and attacks two men. One of the men throws the zombie cat at a wall and it dies (again). We see an obviously fake cat with some gore on it, which is then re-animated once again.

Only in the extended version there is a scene where it shows that Herbert is addicted to the reagent.

the movie contains many shots of people/corpses receiving injections. there is also a scene in an extended edition of the main character injecting himself.

One of the re-animated corpses pushes a morgue's steel door over a man then jumps on it, crushing and breaking the man's bones causing him to bleed and then throws him around the room to death.

[SPOILERS] Was probably not part of their plan for the get-go but Herbert lets himself get devoured by the worm thing to let Dan and Megan escape with his notes…he’s confirmed to survive in the sequel so it’s not lethal though

Technically not a mental institution, but Dr. Hill puts the Re-Animated Halsey in a padded cell and straitjacket that he has in his office…I guess. Either way it involves asylum imagery

There’s no confirmation there of but you could make a decent case for Herbert being autistic. Which granted he is considered “creepy” by people but honestly his neurodivergence or lack thereof is not 100% clear enough

autism is never mentioned in the movie so there is no ABA or other similar abusive "treatments" for autism depicted in the movie.

Herbert West is queer coded (and according to actor Jeffrey Combs, is asexual) and is seemingly killed off at the end, but his death is retconned/ignored in the next movie

You could argue Herbert isn’t a great depiction of asexual people (at least if you go with Jeffrey Comb’s reading) since it feeds into the stereotype of asexual people being sociopathic (edit: the aphobia category has since been added so I’ll also note that other minorities aren’t egregiously misrepresented)

there are two black characters, though neither get any characterization. one is a security guard, who lives, the other is one of the reanimated corpses.

Herbert West is asexual if you take “Word of Saint Paul” (in this case a 1996 interview with Jeffrey Combs) into account. And I love him, I really do; but he does meet a fair amount of criteria for the amoral asexual stereotype. Edit: Judging by how much downvotes I get every time I mention the asexual thing, because how DARE I try to contradict a popular headcanon, here is my primary source: https://www.oocities.org/sunsetstrip/villa/5949/shockint.html

Herbert is implied to die killed by the re-animated and Meg dies too after being strangled by a zombie and Dan failing to save her in a way that could be upsetting to some viewers.
