An Emetophobic’s Guide to Film: 1917 (2019)

1917 (2019) is not safe! There is one actual V* scene in this film, and a few instances that could potentially be triggering. Spoilers ahead!

The main scene happens after Schofield (George MacKay) is in the basement/bunker with the french girl and her baby. When he leaves, he has to run away from German soldiers and when he goes to hide behind a wall, we see a drunk German soldier stumble into the rubble. It is relatively easy to see coming, with audio and visual lasting about 10 seconds. If you keep your eyes/ears shut for longer, you won’t miss anything super important, so don’t worry! 

As for the small instances:

Towards the beginning of the movie, when Schofield and Blake are in the German trenches and the rat triggers a trip wire, rocks fall onto Schofield and he is buried underneath them. When Blake pulls him out, he is coughing/gasping/g*gging for about a minute afterwards.

There is also a scene towards the end where Schofield jumps into a river to escape German soldiers. As he is drowning, he does gasp for air and cough up some water. Again, if you do find this triggering and close your eyes/ears, you won’t miss anything important!

An Emetophobic’s Guide to Film: Birds of Prey (2020)

Birds of Prey (2020) is not safe! There is one actual V* scene and a few small instances that could potentially be triggering. Spoilers ahead! 

The main scene is at the beginning, when Harley is drunk at the club. When the screen starts blurring and going super fast, it cuts to Harley leaning over a purse. It’s relatively easy to see coming, but it’s audio and visual for about 5 seconds.

As for the small instances:

 When Huntress shoots the mob boss in the throat, there is g*rgling/g*gging sounds for a few seconds.

When Harley is drunk outside with the bald guy in a flannel, he’s holding her up when he says “Let me know if you’re gonna g*t s*ck” but she doesn’t.

There is a scene towards the end of the movie where Harley gets a tranquilizer in her neck, and while she does stumble around and look a little ill, nothing happens. I found myself worrying when I saw it so I thought I’d mention it.

Besides that, the film is great and definitely worth watching!

An Emetophobic’s Guide to Film

Hi friends! My name is Jillian, and if you didn’t know, I am severely emetophobic. Emetophobia is a phobia that causes overwhelming, intense anxiety pertaining to v*miting. This phobia can range in severity, and for me personally, I find it very difficult to see it depicted in films/movies without warning. In the interest of keeping my fellow emetophobics safe, I’ve decided to compile a list of warnings for every potentially triggering movie that I’ve seen. This will include major instances (if any) and smaller mentions/gestures, just in case. All words pertaining to emet will be censored, as well. If you have any requests/submissions, please feel free to message me! Until then, happy viewing and stay safe, my loves. 

The list of warnings begins under the cut and will be updated after each viewing!
