Struggling with the aftermath, our group of friends are separated for the first time – and navigating the complexities of high school hasn't made things any easier. In this most vulnerable time, a new and horrifying supernatural threat surfaces, presenting a gruesome mystery that, if solved, might finally put an end to the horrors of the Upside Down.
This movie contains 62 potentially triggering events.
I did some non-spoiler spider alerts for my friend. I don't have them with me but I'll try to do what I remember. He said they were good.
Ep 1, about 45 min
Tick tock big clock stop looking. If it cracks you're too late
Close to end
Buzz buzz big feast, you have less than two seconds
Ep 2
Kid falls backward into hole? Stop looking. Now!
Ep 4 -- this first one is pretty bad
(I can't remember the time, I'll have to look at my sheet later)
Rabbit? Be ready.
Bathtub problems? Quick, now!
Organ, rocking chair, close your eyes
"What are you doing here"
Ep 5
Sherlock Holmes (1st instance)
That's as far as I got and I can't remember the time stamps but I have them written down.
Afaik ep 3 is spider-free
End of ep1 graphic scene of girl being killed - she's pinned to the ceiling & after heaps of bone snapping finally her eyes are kinda crushed inwards (though her eyelids close when it happens)
(CW: semi-detailed descriptions of children and infants dying)
In S4E4, an infant burns alive inside a cot in a flashback/hallucination of a veteran’s darkest memory. You don’t see the actual body but you hear the screaming.
Lots of children (ages 5-14ish) are killed by telekinesis in a different flashback. Most of these deaths are not shown but you do see the many broken bodies of the children. Flashbacks to this event happen throughout S4.
Four teenagers (high school seniors) are killed throughout S4, including (spoilers) one main character in the season finale.
Ep1: 32~ mins in, girl forcing herself to t*u* in bathroom stall - audio only Ep 2: exactly 10 mins in, AUDIO AND VISUAL, GRAPHIC!!! Lucas throws up above toilet (not just into the toilet but ABOVE it) so you can see it very graphically. Very realistic :( Ep2: 24 mins in - mike uses the V* word twice (describing the color of his green socks) Ep2: 45:07 girl uses the P word talking about boyfriends response to a movie
Ep1 - when Max is in the girls bathroom at school she hears someone being sick in one of the toilets, asks if she's ok but is told to leave. It's the cheerleader 'Chrissy', though I'm not 100% sure she was inducing vomiting or if it was due to the haunting/possession she was starting to go through
You can’t even skip past the blood and gore. And if you try you probably won’t succeed. Every episode has an extreme level of jump scares and most of them are horrifying. And after the gory scenes there are A LOT of vivid flash backs.
