The relationships between some of the antagonists are unclear. At one point one character says another character is his sister, and they're also shown kissing.

A noose is brought out as a prop during one of the musical numbers but doesn't go around anyone's neck. Later during a dance number in hell, several hanged people can be seen kick-dancing in the background.

No slurs, but the movie seems to equate queerness with villainy.

There are some lightning effects in one scene (during the signing of a contract) but they are short and not especially dramatic.

The movie does not misgender people, but there is a scene where transwomen or crossdressers are depicted as sinister/frightening.

Reality seems "normal" until the contract signing scene, and only one person seems to notice at first when things get weird.

One character is thematically a snake. His name is Shake. He does not transform into a snake or anything, but in a few scenes he wears a snake-themed costume.

Alphie has two scenes about alcohol abuse. The first is the after-effects of a binge-drinking session, it is implied by a character that Alphie was "trying to kill himself" but it is unclear if that were his aim.
The second scene occurs at a party, where Alphie either drinks a drugged drink or some very strong drinks and has hallucinations.

Surgeons stop an operation to do a dance number. There's no gore though, the man is just shirtless.

A lot of drug use is depicted in a few party scenes. These drugs seem similar to "party drugs" but are not specified. One character is pressured into taking drugs and does so.

Alfie gropes his landlady's chest from behind. It's really overt and egregious.
