The film opens with a fairly prolonged scene of a public hanging where the victim has a sack over their face. There is later a scene where Cathy’s mouth is covered which surprises her but I think is consensual.
There is a scene where a pig is audibly slaughtered off screen and then is seen being butchered on screen - the pig is not shown in detail but there is a large amount of blood on the floor. There is a moment where a dead body’s head is kicked that could trigger someone who is sensitive to gore. There is a large amount of human blood visible at the end of the film from a human body, although it is shown from a wide shot.
As someone who hates jump scares, I found this film’s to be mild and predictable.
Here they are chronologically from memory. Spoiler free:
- At the beginning, a young Catherine hears a noise under her bed. She looks under it, and is suddenly dragged beneath, accompanied by a loud noise.
- When Edgar and Isabella are in the garden of their estate, as Isabella is explaining the plot of “Romeo and Juliet,” she screams suddenly, as she sees something off-screen.
- When Catherine returns to Wuthering Heights to visit her father (she’s wearing a red cloak, for reference), she enters the house, and her father’s silhouette takes up a portion of the bottom screen, as he’s laying down. He speaks suddenly and loudly, which startles her.
- In Edgar’s estate (which is where the next three entries take place), Catherine is sitting down, staring out the window. Edgar enters the room, and leans over to kiss the back of her neck. As he does, the window suddenly breaks.
- As Catherine is walking the halls, late at night, she enters a room with the windows open and the curtains blowing. As she walks into the room, someone she didn’t see suddenly speaks, startling her.
- In a scene where Isabella is in her room, combing her hair, a window opens suddenly, startling her.
We see Catherine crying in bed after her feather goes out. It then cuts to the maid cleaning it up on the floor. Also extra note *spoilers* someone dies and after crying she kicks him and something comes out of his mouth (unsure if it was blood or v) but wasn’t too graphic but thought I’d mention
The opening scene features a public hanging where the victim wets himself, and there is a scene depicting the aftermath of a character coming home drunk where they have urinated up a wall and a servant says to another that they need to “check his britches for soiling”, but nothing is seen except for a wet patch on the wall.
Brief discussion of menstruation (a character asks something like “have you bled?”), then one of the last shots in the film shows a deceased character bleeding profusely from her genital region through fabric - this is not menstrual bleeding but it could trigger someone sensitive to it
A few. I listened most in the jump scare sections, but there are some additional scene transitions that begin with wooden doors suddenly opening. I honestly can’t remember them all to list
Many instances of characters listening in on each other’s conversation and some instances of characters watching other characters engaging in sexual activity.
There are some invocations of Christian belief, without extensive discussion. Still, I’ll list some of these, in case you consider them triggering:
- In the public hanging scene at the beginning, a nun scolds some villagers for being flippant about the loss of human life
- In the same scene, signage in the background quotes Exodus 34:14
- There are scenes featuring a church, and some Christian iconography is shown (notably crucifixes), which is also worn by Catherine as jewellery
- Heathcliff says that he and Catherine shall both be damned. I can’t remember the exact phrasing, but he claims that her actions are not from God or Satan, but her own free will
Just to add some context to the other person’s post; Heathcliff is being ridiculed for trembling in that scene, not due to patriarchal views on men and boys expressing emotions, but because Earnshaw is offended by what Heathcliff’s reaction says about his character; believing it portrays him as brutish when he feels he’s been altruistic
