Jennifer’s Body (2009 film)

Known Triggers*:

• Supernatural Horror - At the risk of giving too much away (message me for further details), the plot involves a Satanic ritual and demonic possession.  The latter especially leads to some scary imagery (including different sorts of body horror, as a human character gets twisted into occasionally developing unnatural facial features).  There are elements of misogyny/violence against women inherent to the story as well, as it involves the sacrifice of a virgin (although this is somewhat subverted).
• Rape* (topic) - Although rape does not actually occur, there is imagery reminiscent of one (see under the cut), and a character fears for her friend’s safety.
• Major Character Death (2)
• Mental Hospitals (including a scene with solitary confinement).
• Fire**
• Emetophobia - Twice (I think?) and after the first time it happens it’s mentioned again in conversation, as there’s a supernatural element to it (message me for details).
• Grief and Death of a Child - After the fire, several characters display grief about their lost loved ones.  (PTSD is also mentioned.)  Throughout the film, as more characters are murdered, we see people reacting to their losses, including the grieving parents of teenage children.  One or two deaths in particular are emotionally intense (or at least, they were for me).  We see at least one funeral.
• Self-Harm*** (imagery)
• Car Accident - a character hits someone with their car.  No one is seriously injured, but it’s traumatic for the main character.  We also see broken glass.

Lights Out (2016 film, rated PG-13)

Known Triggers (x):

• Please note this is a horror film, so there is significant death/violence and several jump scares.  Supernatural horror is featured.
• Mental Institution and Mental Illness - The main plot of the movie involves the mother meeting someone while in a psychiatric unit as a teenager.  There is also mention of a character taking anti-depressant medication.
• Possible Abuse - (from the submission) ‘The evil entity in this film survives by feeding off of a character’s depression and is very abusive towards her.  It actually killed her two previous husbands in an attempt to have the character to herself.’
  
• Fear of the Dark - The entire premise is that the entity exists only in the darkness.
  
• Death of a Parent - two parents are shown dying.
• CPS - There are a couple of parts of the movie that involve someone from Child Protective Services, which could be triggering to those who have dealt with a troubled childhood. 
• Suicide (by gunshot)
