Hey guys, I made a quick post about this a few hours ago from mobile, but I thought I’d write it up again so its more rebloggable and can reach and help more people.
Sites like Movie Triggers and Phobias at the Movies have been going around tumblr and genuinely trying their best to update their content and warn people about triggers/phobias that could be present in a movie they’re about to watch. Unfortunately, both of these sites are fairly new and I imagine their relatively small staffs can’t possibly watch every movie you might have an interest in watching.
For future reference, IMDB’s Parent Guides are pretty useful for this kind of thing as well and they exist for practically every movie you can think of. They border on being spoiler-y sometimes, but overall I imagine they could be a big help to some people!
To find a movie’s guide, nine times out of ten all you have to do is type in a movie’s name + “IMDB Parents Guide” into google. Alternatively, you can go through IMDB’s site and click the ‘Parents Guide’ option on the sidebar.
To see how in-depth they go at warning people, [here’s] the parents guide to The Lion King. Obviously they warn for Mufasa’s death, but they also mention that Zazu is knocked around a bit during a music number. For comparison with a movie not originally intended for children, [here] is the guide for Little Shop of Horrors, which warns for blood and even the mention of blood despite the only blood being drops from a characters’ finger/hand.
Some of the warnings can seem a little silly/humorous, but all in all I can see it being a huge help to those who want or need it. Also notable - these parents guides are also made for tv shows. (although it presents more of an over-arching series generalization than an episode by episode analysis, it can still prepare someone for what to expect)
