Not particularly obvert, but Deborah is hinted at frequently to be a very judgemental parent and is embarrassed of her daughter for being a lesbian. There is blatant homophobia and also smaller micro insults, like her mom telling Sarah that she wishes she dressed like a girl.

the treatment deborah's alzheimer's can be considered very traumatic, almost torturous, and may trigger those who are triggered by torture scenes. while she was somewhat of a villain, she is experiencing trauma throughout the progression of her disease.

**As an epileptic, whoever voted no sucks** Scenes are chronological. • There’s a transition when the team puts up cameras which is a glitch/static effect which might be disorienting to some, it’s used frequently. • There’s a scene in the attic where the mum is working her old machine at night and sparks fly unexpectedly. • After the neighbor shoots at the cars, cops are called and the flashing lights at night are pretty bad. • The fireplace explodes and causes a camera glitch. • More police lights at night when the mum escapes the hospital. • The flashlight goes in and out in the mine. • Flashy transitions when they do find the mum in the mine (holy f*ck). • Flashy effects when they burn the bag in the mines (after the second time they find her).
