This movie actually gave me a panic attack


A little backstory. I used to smoke a lot of pot as a kid, one day that triggered some predisposed something in me, I dont remember what the doctor said but I started getting panic attacks. Anyway I got off the pot but random things in life would trigger them. Luckily thanks to medication and counselling they went away for the most part, and even when one would onset I would be able to calm down before it full took over.

So I didnt have a panic attack in almost 7 months. The last minor one was triggered by a friends phone call and I didnt have a major one in over a year. Anyway I saw this movie last week and it triggered a panic attack in me. I dont know what it was, Ive seen horror movies before, I knew what the premise of this movie was going in, but i guess the combination of music, dialogue, imagery just rattled my brain.

SO just a warning for those people who suffer from similar conditions maybe dont watch this movie

I have anxiety disorder and I agree. Body horror in general gives me horrible panic/anxiety.
