This isn't gaslighting, it's just plain emotional abuse.

Gaslighting is a systematic plan to make you doubt that what you are actually seeing and hearing are really happening.

That is directly from the movie. Manipulation of the gas lights in the house for the husband to convince the wife she was losing her grip on reality.

Gas-lighting is propaganda in its worse form. The gas-lighter thinks the potential victim is stupid or they would never try it in the first place. It is humiliating to be gas-lighted even if it doesn’t work. It is the ultimate form of disrespect.
