Alien 3	Movie	Attempted Rape.
American Beauty	Movie	A really well done movie, but it also made me sick and sad and angry and angry and angry! The whole message of the movie was amazing, but the father perv-ing out on the 16 year old girl triggered me.

Bad Girls	Movie	Implied rape and sexual slavery scenes.

Beulah Land	Movie/Book	multiple rape scenes. slaves raping women and soldiers raping women. awesome book, just triggering.

While filming the movie, one of the surviving victims met the real nun depicted in the movie, watched the premiere with her, and now goes to church on Sundays with her to pray for his soul. Its a good movie but pretty triggering, and some people resent the fact that it makes the rapist look almost like he's the victim. But its the story as told by the nun who visited him in prison, keep that in mind.
Death and the Maiden	Movie/Play	A political prisoner who was tortured and raped suspects that the man who's car broke down outside her house is her main abuser, so she captures and tortures him. A classical piece, called Death and the Maiden, triggers her because it was playing when she was raped.
Death Wish I, II, III, IV, V	Movie	There are like 5 of them, and in every one there are very grapgic rapes. It's like they went out of their way to elongate the scenes.
Deliverance	Movie	Rape scene. Particularly bad for male survivors.
Demented	Movie	Disgusting, low grade b-movie made in 1980. Don't think it made the theaters judging by the horrible filming/quality. The opening scene, the wife returns home to park her car and go the her stables, to check on her horse. 4 ranch helpers wearing panty hose accost her into the barn on a haystack. Then, they immediately rape her. Graphic scene, realistic. The whole movie thereafter is her slowly going insane over this ( having spent time in a sanitarium). She thinks everyone is the rapists going after her. Next door neighbor kids don halloween masks and rape her, only to find she kills them one by one. Definitely not worth the rental fee.
Devil's Advocate	Movie	Court scene in which a young woman is harshly interrogated about abuse; self-injury; suicide.
Doom Generation	Movie	About 2 guys and a girl travelling cross-country. Near the end there is a scene where this group of men threaten to rape the girl with a statue of the virgin Mary. They also cut off her boyfrinds penis with hedge clippers. You just see a lot of blood, but it's pretty upsetting.
Dr. No	Movie/Book	By Ian Fleming. Yes, it's a James Bond book. Both the book and the movie refer to an event in the main female character's life when she was raped by a villager, and got revenge by killing her rapist. The movie later implies that she was raped again by the film's villain (But it's unclear whether or not she actually was). Both the book and the movie are pretty boring, so save yourself the rental.
El Mar	Movie/Book	A Spanish movie, I don't even know if it's released elsewhere. Very disturbing, includes violence, several murders at the beginning, obsession, repression, religion...somehow i knew from the beginning that i had to expect rape there. Very graphic deaths. At the end there's a young man breaking free from his abuser by murdering him...then raping a boy who secretly adores him. Again murder...and suicide. Very triggering, i seldom had so many tears coming out in a movie, but still very good, very emotional...only see if you feel strong enough.
The Entity	Movie	Series of violent rapes by ghost. Woman victim feeling powerless and trapped.
Eve's Bayou	Movie	Well made movie starring Samuel L Jackson, about a young girl living on a bayou in Louisiana. However, fairly central to the plot is an incident of incestuous child molestation, which is retold several times from different viewpoints. May trigger.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas	Movie/Book	Main charater talks to friend about raping a young girl, although it is only said so that his friend will get rid of the girl (she is not raped) the conversation still made me sick
Festen	Movie	About father/son and father/daughter incest. Nothing graphic. Very good movie but can be triggering.
Fight Club	Movie	The climax of this film can be very triggering for someone diagnosed with D.I.D., it is also, as the title suggests, rather violent.
Flowers in the Attic	Movie/Book	Incest between a brother and sister. Discusses incestuous relationship that follows the first sexual encounter. Made me sick to my stomach. Be careful.

Foxfire	Movie	This film deals with a group of girls who go out and assault a teacher because he is sexually assualting many teens in the school. This movie shows a small part where the teacher is actually rubbing and such...he gets his butt kicked though so I am happy..an awesome movie!!
Freeway	Movie	Main character is sexually abused by her stepfather, picked up by a pedophile when she runs away, and pressured into lesbian sexual contact by a fellow inmate. Graphic violence.
Freeway 2	Movie	A direct to video sequel to the original freeway and there is a lot of incest stuff in this movie.

Gia	Movie	There is a scene where she is attacked and raped. The camera pans away as it's happening, but it's still disturbing.
G.I. Jane	Movie	Attempted rape.
Girl Interrupted	Movie/Book	A girl commits suicide when she is confronted about father raping her and her liking it. It plays a very small roll in the movie and it is otherwise EXCELLENT, but if you have fresh wounds like I do, it's enough to make you throw up and cry.

Gossip	Movie	Central theme is the rape of one of the characters.
Grave Vengeance	Movie	Horrible movie comparable to "I Spit On Your Grave", only the vengeful heroine doesn't kill the guys who did it, and ends up going insane. Terrible movie.
The Green Mile	Movie/Book	Movie which contains the story told about the conviction of a man for the rape and murder of two small 7 year old sisters in the South. The man was faulsey commited but shared the same prison area with the man whom really commited this sexual crime only he was there for other reasons. Can be very triggering!

Hollow Man	Movie	Scientists make this guy invisible and he decides to use his new found power to go around raping and murdering women. Terrible movie.
The Hotel New Hampshire	Movie/Book	For the moment I only know the film... Includes a gang rape scene, brother-sister-incest, a young girl wearing a bear costume after her rape and a revenge scene. Sometimes quite graphic, but (at least to me) not really triggering...worth seeing it if you can.
The House of Yes	Movie	A LOT of incest: brother and sister.
I spit on your Grave	Movie	Particularly sick but that is obvious from the packaging. Don't even think about watching this movie.
Jezebel's Kiss	Movie	Rape.
Joan of Arc	Movie	Rape scene.
K-Pax	Movie	All in all a very good movie, but there is one scene that shows a house being broken into and then a woman that has been raped. Also discusses the rape and what was not shown was just as bad as what was. Can be potentially very triggering - this happens towards the end of the movie, I did not expect to see anything like this. Stay safe while watching it.
Kalifornia	Movie	Rape.
Kids	Movie	Character is raped by a friend while she is passed out. Very graphic scene.

Liars' Club	Movie	Graphic rape.
L.I.E.	Movie	This movie is about a young boy who becomes friends with a pedophile. no actual sex scenes are shown but it is disturbing nonetheless. the most disturbing part is when one boy talks about sleeping with his sister. the movie treats it as if it is a weird thing to do, but not wholy unaccpetable. the audience i was with laughed at the repeated incest comments.
Lipstick	Movie	Marguex Hemingway and her sister Mariel were in this '76 flick. Music teacher of younger mariel meets w/ older sister and model Marguex to try to persuade her to listen to his original music, to secure a record deal(?). After she takes a phone call, interupting their metting, he becomes hostile, offering a slanderous remark, and when she angrily orders him out, he attacks her. Very graphic assault/rape scene. Tries to scare/ reduce her before the rape. Later in the movie, after unsuccessfully prosecuting him, he is let free. He rapes younger sister. Older one goes after him w/ shotgun conveniently stored in her Jeep. She blasts his balls, then him, away. Loved the ending anyway....
Lolita	Movie	This one is diffucult to categorize, but deals with what is by definition child sexual abuse.
Looking for Mr. Goodbar	Movie	Diane Keaton plays a woman in new york in the 70's. she's very sexually adventurous in an escapism kind of way. most of the film was ok, a few fights between her and men, but the end of the film is a horrible, horrible scene where she gets raped and stabbed to death. i'm still shaking and i watched it hours ago.

Moulin Rouge	Movie	Attempted rape scene.
Nail Gun Massacre	Movie	Cheesy 80s slasher flick. The opening scene is a woman being gang-raped by construction workers.

The Ninth Configuration	Movie	Off camera sexual assault of a male psychiatric patient followed by graphic violence - an excellent film though, but I found this particular scene triggering
No child of mine	Movie	Terrible child abuse scenes of a young girl being raped and forced by her father into prostitution. Sadly based on a true story.
Not Another Teen Movie	Movie	Incest...Although it is a fun movie with no plot, there are many sexual references and could be triggering towards people sensitive to subjects on incest. Also a guy in the movie is trying to change the look of a "nerd." This could effect people who are uncomfortable with men having power over women.
Nuts	Movie	Trial about the incest of main character.
O	Movie	There is a scene where the main character forcefully penetrates her after she pleads with him to stop.
Once Were Warriors	Movie	Although it's primarily about domestic violence, the daughter of the father is raped in her bed by one of her father's friends.

The parents break down sobbing, and that night, they go through her room where her father finds her diary. He sits there and reads all she has written (about the rape). He ends up bashing his friend to death. I felt completely sick after this film. It's probably one of the most disturbing movies I've ever seen in my whole life.
Original Sin	Movie	There are some scenes where Angelina Jolie's caracter is "paying" by having sex with some guy.

Pearl Harbor	Movie	Father hits son towards the beginning of the movie. This movie was very triggering to my girlfriend.

The Shaming	Movie	Anne Heywood stars as a 1950's high school teacher named Ms. Wyckoff. One day after school, she gets raped by a black janitor named Rafe. Soon she begins having sex with Rafe everyday. Good but disturbing movie which shows the prejudices of America during this time period. It's disturbing in the fact that Ms. Wyckoff starts a relationship with the man that raped her
The Shawshank Redemption	Movie	Not shown, insinuated prison rape.

He starts digging up his back yard looking for her body.He finally finds it in his basement in the wall. When he touches the body he sees the whole rape scene and what happened to her.

It is revealed, as the story progresses, that the father severaly absued all six children, and committed incest with all four of his daughters. The movie includes graphic descriptions and scenes of the abuse, which are disturbing.
Unbreakable	Movie	Rape is not shown, but is insinuated, against a drunk girl at a party. Also, a murderer has tied two kids and a woman to radiators in their home. Triggering. These scenes come as a suprise given the context of the movie. Careful.
Under Hellgate Bridge	Movie	There is a scene where a man sodomizes a woman on a table against her will.

What's Love Got to Do With It	Movie	Tina Turner bio-pic. Very realistic, matter-of-fact rape scene.

True story. He and a friend assaulted 2 girls and the movie blended the 2 as one. Flashbacks of the rape and then a longer scene near the end. While filming the movie, one of the surviving victims met the real nun depicted in the movie, watched the premiere with her, and now goes to church on Sundays with her to pray for his soul. Its a good movie but pretty triggering, and some people resent the fact that it makes the rapist look almost like he's the victim. But its the story as told by the nun who visited him in prison, keep that in mind.

Deliverance

Movie

Rape scene. Particularly bad for male survivors.

Demented

Movie

Disgusting, low grade b-movie made in 1980. Don't think it made the theaters judging by the horrible filming/quality. The opening scene, the wife returns home to park her car and go the her stables, to check on her horse. 4 ranch helpers wearing panty hose accost her into the barn on a haystack. Then, they immediately rape her. Graphic scene, realistic. The whole movie thereafter is her slowly going insane over this ( having spent time in a sanitarium). She thinks everyone is the rapists going after her. Next door neighbor kids don halloween masks and rape her, only to find she kills them one by one. Definitely not worth the rental fee.

Devil's Advocate

Court scene in which a young woman is harshly interrogated about abuse; self-injury; suicide.

About 2 guys and a girl travelling cross-country. Near the end there is a scene where this group of men threaten to rape the girl with a statue of the virgin Mary. They also cut off her boyfrinds penis with hedge clippers. You just see a lot of blood, but it's pretty upsetting.

Dr. No

Movie/Book

By Ian Fleming. Yes, it's a James Bond book. Both the book and the movie refer to an event in the main female character's life when she was raped by a villager, and got revenge by killing her rapist. The movie later implies that she was raped again by the film's villain (But it's unclear whether or not she actually was). Both the book and the movie are pretty boring, so save yourself the rental.

El Mar

Movie/Book

A Spanish movie, I don't even know if it's released elsewhere. Very disturbing, includes violence, several murders at the beginning, obsession, repression, religion...somehow i knew from the beginning that i had to expect rape there. Very graphic deaths. At the end there's a young man breaking free from his abuser by murdering him...then raping a boy who secretly adores him. Again murder...and suicide. Very triggering, i seldom had so many tears coming out in a movie, but still very good, very emotional...only see if you feel strong enough.

Movie/Book

Movie
