There are several dubious scenes throughout, as others have mentioned. Kirsty's uncle, Frank, attempts to sexually assault and/or kill/physically harm her when she discovers him. The "coming onto her" scene that others have mentioned is very violent, which I was not prepared for by the other comments, so I wanted to clarify.

This movie is full of body horror. There is all kinds of physical mutilation, skinning, hooks and chains impaling people. The Cenobites are pierced with pins and other objects and some of them look mutated and appear partially flayed.

There is a scene at the very end where a man walks into a fire and burns, but it seems to be intentional/he's supernatural somehow. There's no indication that he's experiencing pain.

there is NO finger or toe mutilation. a man gets cut on the hand with a nail but that's not finger or toe related. a man gets brought back to life and his body has to regrow so bony fingers sprout out and i guess that can count but as someone whose biggest trigger is finger mutilation it didn't count to me

The Cenobites drag people to Hell, often against their will, so this could loosely be described as kidnapping, I suppose, but not in the traditional sense.

No one is possessed, but someone’s steals someone else’s skin and tries to pass as them to another character. Definitely very different from possession, but it may trigger people who are triggered by possession.

towards the beginning, hooks are shown going through skin, so not quite needles but close enough that I could see it being triggering. Also one of the villains has needles/pins in his head.

There is no active self harm, however a few characters appear to have self-mutilated body modifications which may unnerve those sensitive to this topic.

Body modification/body horror is not body dysmorphia. The former are present, the latter is not.
