Honestly euphoria fucked with my head, but not cuz it was a bad show. I just kinda felt depressed, it was really heavy. (Ik it’s a show but I barely watch movies)
Not a movie but a TV show : The Leftovers. Nothing had fucked me up emotionally more than that. The grief, the pain, the anger, the resent but also the joy and hope I felt watching it was such a roolercoaster. Combined with that brilliant soundtrack my god I don’t know if I could watch it ever again.
Blair witch project. I was about 8 when I watched it with my older sister. She convinced me that it happened close to where I lived in Minnesota lol. Note: I lived in the country and our nearest neighbors were a mile away down the dirt road. I’m okay now as an adult but sometimes I get nervous around girls with rock collections that are stored in piles.
My brother took me to a theater when I was 12 to see The Exorcist. He then drove me home and left me alone until 11.30 pm. This is when my mother would get in from work. It was a rough 2 hrs.
As a kid, Poltergeist. My grandparents took me to see it. When I got home, I got my mom to move my bed so my closet couldn’t suck me in. As an adult, Requiem for a Dream. I’ll never watch that movie again.
The Magdalene Sisters. Based on a true stories from the Magdalene laundries where Irish women were sent for being “morally deviant”.. ie unwed pregnancy, rape victims, “fast” women. Really scarring movie. I watched it at about 16.
Years*** and it’s boy in striped pjamas. Um yeah I was under 10 when I watched it and it clicked what happened, my heart dropped and it was the ONLY movie that ever made me feel nauseous for years if I think about it for too long. Brilliant movie, but I was too young when I watched it.
I have to do this in a Sophia style comment from Golden girls.
Picture it, New Jersey 1983. A four and a half year old boy sits down with his family to watch a movie. The MGM lion comes on the screen and roars. The national anthem starts to play. A word I could not read yet appeared on the screen.
The Ring. My friends were supposed to meet me at the theatre to see the movie, but ran late and last minute went to another theatre for a later show time. I found out as I was sitting in my seat waiting for the film to begin. I watched the movie “alone”, but also in the same row as a family with small children. The little girl closest to me had long, dark straight hair and stared my way most of the movie. After the movie, I went home and took the tv in my room out until a full week and one day to be safe passed by.
