The Impossible
Movie • 2012 • Drama
ReportIn December 2004, close-knit family Maria, Henry and their three sons begin their winter vacation in Thailand. But the day after Christmas, the idyllic holiday turns into an incomprehensible nightmare when a terrifying roar rises from the depths of the sea, followed by a wall of black water that devours everything in its path. Though Maria and her family face their darkest hour, unexpected displays of kindness and courage ameliorate their terror.

There are realistic injuries, including a huge wound on the back of the Mom's leg. It's frightening to the kid looking at it but it's brief and not lingered upon. So, judgment call but this does not seem like body horror to me, more like gore.

It's likely that a main character has a broken leg for most of the film.
During a hospital scene, Lucas sees a woman wheeled in with an absolutely mangled leg. Other hospital patients in the background are seen with splints and casts.

Just after 43 minutes: There’s one very triggering scene, when the mom and son are in the hospital and the mom tells the son to give the tangerine to the woman next to her, she starts gagging and then vomits blood and immediately after that, the mom starts gagging and retching and vomits up a bunch of blood and debris. The son also gags shortly after. I have emetophobia and that was the only scene that bothered me. I muted it and covered most of my eyes, but I could tell it was bad.

Nothing shown on screen, but it’s easily understood that the tsunami has decimated the country. Thousands of people have lost their homes, businesses, and all of their belongings.
