Catherine Clare reluctantly trades life in 1980 Manhattan for a remote home in the tiny hamlet of Chosen, New York, after her husband George lands a job teaching art history at a small Hudson Valley college. Even as she does her best to transform the old dairy farm into a place where young daughter Franny will be happy, Catherine increasingly finds herself isolated and alone. She soon comes to sense a sinister darkness lurking both in the walls of the ramshackle property—and in her marriage to George.
This movie contains 50 potentially triggering events.
The husband is a monster who abuses the wife emotionally, mentally, financially, and physically. He gaslights, belittles, and berates her. He pathologically lies to her (and others) about everything. He actively isolates her from others by having moved her away from her surroundings, and by trying to sabotage her new friendships. He physically grabs her, attacks her, and wounds her face in doing so. He drugs her to the point of unconsciousness in order to murder her. He also views their daughter as his property, as an extension of his 'mask' to the outside world; he isn't seen abusing the daughter, but be aware.
Not in a traditional, chronic sense. But, the couple's four year old child is nearby sometimes when the husband and wife are abusive towards each other. There is one scene near the end where it is implied the child has been drugged to fall asleep. Another scene where the mother is drugged and trying to find the child, but her abusive husband has hidden her.
No, and the earlier commenter is incorrect: a crow indeed flies through a window, but remains alive, then gets out through the same window again and appears completely unphazed by the whole ordeal (at 1:29:00).
There aren't any snakes, but at one point someone pulls something out of the kitchen sink drain that is kind-of-sort-of shaped like one, and blinks an eye.
A mother does try to go back for her daughter and escape before the mother is killed, but doesn't make it. She would have died even if she didn't try to go back for her daughter though, and the daughter is unharmed and doesn't witness what happens.
Technically yes: spoiler alert….. the wife has been drugged, she tries to get to her car and gets dragged back into the house by the husband and put in bed and gets murdered by him.
Hmm, sort of? Someone's actions are heavily influenced by a perisistent ghost's voice, to the point where it almost seems as if the person is doing things against the person's own will. It's hard to say how much free will is involved.
Approximately 4 minutes and 20 seconds into the film, (immediately followed a closeup of a slice of cake.)
Approximately 1 hour 18 minutes and 30 seconds into the film.
Possibly? I'm not well versed in these things, but a character has an eating disorder that causes underweight. I don't know if body dysmorphia ever causes eating disorders, but I thought I'd mention it.
right at the beginning of the movie during the birthday party the main character makes herself throw up. Having bulimia I wish they would have warned us sooner
It's talked about, but not shown (details: married couple, man & woman; man decided to die by suicide whilst asleep and he 'took' the woman's life that way too)
There is a moment in the first half of the film where the wife pulls something out of a drain; it is ambiguous what it is, but it is a living thing that resembles a fetus.
No slurs exactly, but am repeating my comment above regarding hate speech: There is one scene near the end at a dinner party where someone makes an offensive joke about a deceased gay person. Another character calls him out on it.
This one's tricky. There is a relationship between the professor (main characters husband) and a student, but I believe they're fairly close in age since he's fresh out of university. Still unnerving.
