The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things
Movie • 2004 • Drama
ReportYoung Jeremiah lives in a stable environment with loving foster parents until the day his troubled mother, Sarah, returns to claim him. Jeremiah becomes swept up in his mother's dangerous world of drugs, seedy hotels, strip joints and revolving lovers. Salvation comes in the form of the boy's ultrareligious grandparents, but soon Jeremiah's mother returns. Maternal love binds the pair together on the road until Sarah's desperate and depraved lifestyle finally consumes her.

Sarah gaslights her son, telling him that his foster parents didn't really care about him and that they abandoned him because he was bad. She also makes him take pills and alcohol in which she lies and says its to make him feel better and to stop him from dying.

The entire film a young boy is abused, emotionally, physically and sexually. Skip this film if it's triggering for you.

They appear on screen at 01:13:34 (when Jeremiah has just closed the fridge and says "The coal!"). The spiders are three brown tarantulas. He soon throws something at them and they are buried under coals.

Jeremiah is raped by his mother's boyfriends. The first time, he is pinned down on a bed. The scenes imply the act but it's still highly disturbing and triggering. The second time, he is dressed in his mother's underwear to 'seduce' a adult man. He then 'changes' into the appearance of Sarah but the man still refers to her as Jeremiah.

A man uses a rough-bristled dry brush to scrub Jeremiah's genitals in some sort of so-called religious ritual, and the boy screams out in pain.

There's a disturbing scene where Jeremiah is dressed in a white dress/lingerie set in an attempt to 'seduce' an adult man. The camera slowly pans up his legs and he poses in 'suggestive' ways. Extremely uncomfortable and triggering.

Jeremiah's mother makes him drink a bottle of ipecac. He gets sick multiple times and continues gagging. Visual, audio, and remnants of it remain on his shirt in following scenes.

Before the movie even starts. One of the production companies uses a strobe effect that would 110% cause a photosensitive epileptic to have an episode.
There's also flashing lights in the film as well.
