The Cable Guy

Movie • 1996 • Comedy  

Report
When recently single Steven moves into his new apartment, cable guy Chip comes to hook him up—and doesn't let go. Initially, Chip is just overzealous in his desire to be Steven's pal, but when Steven tries to end the 'friendship', Chip shows his dark side. He begins stalking Steven, who's left to fend for himself because no one else can believe Chip's capable of such behaviour.

The main character tries to convince his family that a "friend" of his they meet is not someone they should interact with, but is dismissed and treated as rude and unreasonable. This can be extremely triggering if you've been in an abusive relationship involving gaslighting.

After the nightmare sequence when they’re on the phone, look away after he sings the tune to “Girl from Ipanema”. You can look back when he says “you might know her”.

The whole premise of the movie is that a person who was raised by TV has become mentally I’ll as a result, and this person is violent in the movie.

The movie opens on a TV static type of graphic that may trigger photosensitive viewers and goes into a TV channel flipping sequence and also there is a scene in a parking garage where a bunch of car alarms are going off at once with their headlights flashing as well as a scene with lightning flashes
