The Invisible Man is on HBO so I was like "hey I've heard that's good, I should watch it" and I

am not sure I can finish this movie!!!

IT IS GOOD, I just may have underestimated how much it would uhhhhHhHhhhh fuck me up as someone who spent many years in a controlling relationship and also as someone who finds the "no one believes them, everyone thinks they're insane!" trope in horror movies VERY DISTRESSING

and like I KNEW the plot going in and had heard that it deals pretty intensely with abuse, so like, I had the warning,

but I keep having to fast-forward and pause for like 10-15 minutes at a time to catch my breath so maybe NOT FOR ME

this is not me saying it's a bad movie or you shouldn't watch it or you 100000% will be triggered by it if you also have that history, it is just me relaying the personal experience happening to me right now

Movies that trigger some people can still be really good and I feel a need to say this plainly because on Twitter there's a thing where you say "oh this thing maybe isn't for me" and people go "SO YOU'RE SAYING IT'S BAD"

That hasn't happened on this thread, but, PRE-EMPTIVELY,
