They break down every kind of ‘disturbance’ in each film so you know where you’re at–and they even have spoiler alerts, so as not to give away too much.

I just want to go back to the days of Hitchcock, where bad stuff happened…off camera. In today’s film, nothing is held back–so it’s not just scary or intense, it’s disturbing–with the thing I struggle with.

Speaking only for myself, I have become so psychologically disturbed in some movies that I’ve walked out (or at least closed my eyes and ears for the scene). I think in addition to a “family friendly” rating scale, it would be good to have “trigger alerts” for those of us with mental illnesses.
