After a violent storm, a dense cloud of mist envelops a small Maine town, trapping artist David Drayton and his five-year-old son in a local grocery store with other people. They soon discover that the mist conceals deadly horrors that threaten their lives, and worse, their sanity.
This movie contains 48 potentially triggering events.
Not really gaslighting but gonna put here (since there isn’t a space for it) the religious woman kind of brainwashing people into doing harmful things for religion could be very triggering for those with religious trauma.
(spoiler) For emets: the main character appears as if he's going (coughs and hunches over) to after the teen gets taken away by the monster by the garage door. He also appears ill in other scenes but doesn't actually v*.
A character remarks that they think at any moment they’ll “wake up in a rubber room” and another character agrees. This is the extent of the discussion of mental institutions.
No character is specifically portrayed as having PTSD, but they are going through a traumatizing situation, so many of them have emotional reactions and likely would have PTSD after the events of the movie
It's really hard to say definitively. Everyone is in an extreme situation reacting in extreme ways. It's not obvious anyone was mentally ill to start with.
There is a storm in the beginning and a lot of flashlights used. I watched this with my photosensitive partner and they were mostly okay.
It's a lot better than shows with lots of gunfire in darkness or police lights.
They don’t die first but one black man bangs himself which could be a triggering visual and another one has a very violent death scene where spiders come out of his body
The boy isn’t ridiculed for crying but he is told he needs to stop crying or he’ll hurt himself as well as told repeatedly to calm down and stop crying. It’s an attempt to calm a frantic child but it’s not a very good one.
At the end of the movie the main carachter decides to kill all the other people in the car with the 4 bullets they had. (including his 8 yo son!!) It gets even sadder when he gets out of the car to get killed by the creatures when the millitary shows up. yeah.
