After viewing a strangely familiar video nasty, Enid, a film censor, sets out to solve the past mystery of her sister's disappearance, embarking on a quest that dissolves the line between fiction and reality.
This movie contains 32 potentially triggering events.
No physical abuse but Enid’s parents say some things (including in flashbacks) that could be very triggering for anyone who grew up with emotional abuse
The main character reviews a film with a rape scene, you see the beginning of the assault then the camera soon cuts to just the main character's reaction and you only hear the scene's audio.
The film is about a group of government censors who review lurid films depicting over the top violence and torture. There are several brief clips from these films shown as the team reviews them
We don’t see it, but it is implied that a woman’s sister died as a child, and there is a death certificate even though she was never found. There is a fantasy scene where one of the young girls attacks another with an axe.
A woman worries that her sister, who disappeared as a child, had been kidnapped. Toward the end of the film, a woman is taken in a car against her will.
SPOILERS! about 10 minutes away from the end, where enid is in the shed and is killing the beast man, a producer walks in and vomits. it set me off quite badly so thought i’d put it in here too :)
The main character compulsively digs and picks at her cuticles when she’s nervous. We see this getting worse as the film goes on, but it’s mostly shown as reddened skin
A character definitely undergoes some form of psychosis, in a very violent/harmful way, but it is shown in a very subtle/symbolistic and it's shown very slowly
A character in the film that the main character is watching on her TV stares out, but she is staring at the main character rather than the viewer of the film itself. This may still be triggering for some people.
There is an in-world film that depicts the start of a rape scene. The camera quickly cuts away from the scene and we see the censors’ faces and hear audio from the scene
Characters lose their sense of reality. The end of the film shows a character’s imagined happy ending, but the audience is shown that the reality of that ending is actually very different
There is lots of blood and some gore. Fake blood is shown in many of the film clips watched by the censors. There are several sequences (fantasy and possibly real) where people are attacked with an axe. A person falls onto an object and is impaled through the head, with lots of blood shown.
