Three wealthy children's parents are killed in a fire. When they are sent to a distant relative, they find out that he is plotting to kill them and seize their fortune. This movie is extremely alarming, an expression which here means "a thrilling misadventure involving three ingenious orphans and a villainous actor named Count Olaf (Jim Carrey) who wants their enormous fortune." It includes a suspicious fire, delicious pasta, Jim Carrey, poorly behaved looches, Billy Connolly, an incredibly deadly viper, Meryl Streep, and the voice of an imposter named Jude Law.
This movie contains 20 potentially triggering events.
Technically not. But the main very creepy older villain, forces a 14 year old girl to marry him, to the point of threatening to hurt her sister. There's no reference to anything sexual, but it's still disturbing
No one is shown being burned on-screen, but part of the story involves arson, and some characters (parents) suffer from that arson. That is simply known, not shown. So, technically, yes.
(In the movie) Aunt Josephine is pushed out of the wide window by Count Olaf and falls to her presumed death into a body of water, however this is not shown on screen.
Violet, Klaus, and sunny are three children who lost their parents in a fire. Also these other kids are seen very few times but they are seen with there parents and another scene with their house on fire and in another with voilet, klaus, and sunny in a boarding school for children who post theor parents
Aunt Josephine is mentally ill, she clearly has an anxiety disorder and possibly intrusive thoughts, she is afraid of everything. For example she gets scared of Klaus being near the fridge because she thinks it's going to fall on him. She never has an anxiety attack but some people might find this triggering.
There is a scene where The Baudelaires aunt is thought to have committed suicide but is revealed that she actually framed her own death, but technically no.
There are no characters in the movie who are confirmed to be LGBT, the androgynous person is in the books and the series but they aren't an important character in the movie nor does anything bad happen to them.
Although there is no car crash within the movie, there is a long scene where the children switch the tracks from an oncoming train that is going to hit their parked car. The intensity and suspense of this scene can definitely be triggering to some.
(In the movie and books) When the Beaudelaires come back to Aunt Josephine's house, they discover that the window overlooking a body of water is broken, implying she was pushed out and drowned.
