Description
This is a list from the website "Escaping Hades", a rape and sexual abuse survivor's guide. --http://escapinghades.pandys.org/triggeringmedia.htmlThis list was created because Lis, the author of "Escaping Hades", got tired of being "ambushed" by books and movies with triggering topics. This list was compiled by survivors and allies to warn survivors about triggering material. This is by no means a list of books and movies to avoid, as many are wonderful and can help you on your healing journey. Of course, some of them are crap. Either way, it is important to prepare yourself for what you are going to see or read.
- 5 Women 6 Chairs Movie It is a film about survivors and the trauma and issues they face on a day to day basis.
- 8MM Movie Rape.
- 9 1/2 Weeks Movie Rape scene.
- 13 Ghosts Movie Very graphic horror movie. Not so much in sexual sence, there is nudity and a vouger joke made. Can be disturbing to someone who has been physically abused. Very Graphic (bloody, pain, not so much as in sexual though)

There's also a suggestion that Agnes's pregnancy was from a rape.
- Alien 3 Movie Attempted Rape.
- American Beauty Movie A really well done movie, but it also made me sick and sad and angry and angry and angry! The whole message of the movie was amazing, but the father perv-ing out on the 16 year old girl triggered me.

- Bastard Out Of Carolina Movie/Book Throughout the movie there is child abuse but there is a very very disturbing scene where a little girl gets raped by her step-father. I have never been sexually assaulted but this movie made me walk out of the room.
- Being John Malkovich Movie It is a good movie other than the fact that this guy goes crazy and flips out on his wife, holds a gun up to her and then locks her up in a cage with a monkey.
- Beulah Land Movie/Book multiple rape scenes. slaves raping women and soldiers raping women. awesome book, just triggering.
- Billy Jack Movie This is a seemingly OK movie but has a long excruciating rape scene and once again she doesn't tell and forgives. Another really bad one for me. Although her boyfriend later finds out and murders her rapists.
- Blackrock Movie Based on a true story about a girl who was gangraped and murdered at a beach party in Newcastle, Australia.

- The Color Purple Movie Teenage girl is raped repeatedly by her father and has two children by him who are both taken away from her at birth. Many years later she learns that he was not her real father.
- Crazy/Beautiful Movie A girl fights with her own depression and poor relationship with her family. While not involving rape, it does trigger me. Her emotional breakdown was very hard to watch. Alcohal abuse, evil stepmother, and suicide feature in this film. Was very good.
- Crossroads Movie The plot deals with a date-rape, and pregnancy as a result of rape.
- The Crow Movie This is a great movie, but in it, the main characters get murdered, the female one also being raped.

- Damned River Movie Rape scene.
- Dark Tide Movie There is a VERY graphic rape scene.
- Daughters of Darkness Movie Marital Rape.
- Dead Calm Movie When the woman's husband is on the other ship and the attacker awakens he has sex without her consent.
- Dead Man Walking Movie True story. He and a friend assaulted 2 girls and the movie blended the 2 as one. Flashbacks of the rape and then a longer scene near the end. While filming the movie, one of the surviving victims met the real nun depicted in the movie, watched the premiere with her, and now goes to church on Sundays with her to pray for his soul. Its a good movie but pretty triggering, and some people resent the fact that it makes the rapist look almost like he's the victim. But its the story as told by the nun who visited him in prison, keep that in mind.
- Death and the Maiden Movie/Play A political prisoner who was tortured and raped suspects that the man who's car broke down outside her house is her main abuser, so she captures and tortures him. A classical piece, called Death and the Maiden, triggers her because it was playing when she was raped.
- Death Wish I, II, III, IV, V Movie There are like 5 of them, and in every one there are very grapgic rapes. It's like they went out of their way to elongate the scenes.
- Deliverance Movie Rape scene. Particularly bad for male survivors.
- Demented Movie Disgusting, low grade b-movie made in 1980. Don't think it made the theaters judging by the horrible filming/quality. The opening scene, the wife returns home to park her car and go the her stables, to check on her horse. 4 ranch helpers wearing panty hose accost her into the barn on a haystack. Then, they immediately rape her. Graphic scene, realistic. The whole movie thereafter is her slowly going insane over this ( having spent time in a sanitarium). She thinks everyone is the rapists going after her. Next door neighbor kids don halloween masks and rape her, only to find she kills them one by one. Definitely not worth the rental fee.
- Devil's Advocate Movie Court scene in which a young woman is harshly interrogated about abuse; self-injury; suicide.
- Doom Generation Movie About 2 guys and a girl travelling cross-country. Near the end there is a scene where this group of men threaten to rape the girl with a statue of the virgin Mary. They also cut off her boyfrinds penis with hedge clippers. You just see a lot of blood, but it's pretty upsetting.
- Dr. No Movie/Book By Ian Fleming. Yes, it's a James Bond book. Both the book and the movie refer to an event in the main female character's life when she was raped by a villager, and got revenge by killing her rapist. The movie later implies that she was raped again by the film's villain (But it's unclear whether or not she actually was). Both the book and the movie are pretty boring, so save yourself the rental.
- El Mar Movie/Book A Spanish movie, I don't even know if it's released elsewhere. Very disturbing, includes violence, several murders at the beginning, obsession, repression, religion...somehow i knew from the beginning that i had to expect rape there. Very graphic deaths. At the end there's a young man breaking free from his abuser by murdering him...then raping a boy who secretly adores him. Again murder...and suicide. Very triggering, i seldom had so many tears coming out in a movie, but still very good, very emotional...only see if you feel strong enough.
- The Entity Movie Series of violent rapes by ghost. Woman victim feeling powerless and trapped.
- Eve's Bayou Movie Well made movie starring Samuel L Jackson, about a young girl living on a bayou in Louisiana. However, fairly central to the plot is an incident of incestuous child molestation, which is retold several times from different viewpoints. May trigger.

- The Hotel New Hampshire Movie/Book For the moment I only know the film... Includes a gang rape scene, brother-sister-incest, a young girl wearing a bear costume after her rape and a revenge scene. Sometimes quite graphic, but (at least to me) not really triggering...worth seeing it if you can.

- Liars' Club Movie Graphic rape.
- L.I.E. Movie This movie is about a young boy who becomes friends with a pedophile. no actual sex scenes are shown but it is disturbing nonetheless. the most disturbing part is when one boy talks about sleeping with his sister. the movie treats it as if it is a weird thing to do, but not wholy unaccpetable. the audience i was with laughed at the repeated incest comments.
- Lipstick Movie Marguex Hemingway and her sister Mariel were in this '76 flick. Music teacher of younger mariel meets w/ older sister and model Marguex to try to persuade her to listen to his original music, to secure a record deal(?). After she takes a phone call, interupting their metting, he becomes hostile, offering a slanderous remark, and when she angrily orders him out, he attacks her. Very graphic assault/rape scene. Tries to scare/ reduce her before the rape. Later in the movie, after unsuccessfully prosecuting him, he is let free. He rapes younger sister. Older one goes after him w/ shotgun conveniently stored in her Jeep. She blasts his balls, then him, away. Loved the ending anyway....
- Lolita Movie This one is diffucult to categorize, but deals with what is by definition child sexual abuse.
- Looking for Mr. Goodbar Movie Diane Keaton plays a woman in new york in the 70's. she's very sexually adventurous in an escapism kind of way. most of the film was ok, a few fights between her and men, but the end of the film is a horrible, horrible scene where she gets raped and stabbed to death. i'm still shaking and i watched it hours ago.

- The Ninth Configuration Movie Off camera sexual assault of a male psychiatric patient followed by graphic violence - an excellent film though, but I found this particular scene triggering
- No child of mine Movie Terrible child abuse scenes of a young girl being raped and forced by her father into prostitution. Sadly based on a true story.
- Not Another Teen Movie Movie Incest...Although it is a fun movie with no plot, there are many sexual references and could be triggering towards people sensitive to subjects on incest. Also a guy in the movie is trying to change the look of a "nerd." This could effect people who are uncomfortable with men having power over women.

- O Movie There is a scene where the main character forcefully penetrates her after she pleads with him to stop.

The parents break down sobbing, and that night, they go through her room where her father finds her diary. He sits there and reads all she has written (about the rape).

The movie includes graphic descriptions and scenes of the abuse, which are disturbing.
- Unbreakable Movie Rape is not shown, but is insinuated, against a drunk girl at a party. Also, a murderer has tied two kids and a woman to radiators in their home. Triggering. These scenes come as a suprise given the context of the movie. Careful.
