Thank you for the warning, much appreciated.

I found this in a movie review

The first thing you need to get used to in "Cloverfield" is the potentially nausea-inducing shaky camera work, which makes "The Blair Witch Project" look like the latest Ken Burns documentary.

I have an idea about how this can affect us, especially with themes of violence and horror. Or better yet, I can express how it affects me.

I sometimes enjoy supernatural fantasy books, vampires and werewolves and other themes that can involve some scenes of horror. But usually the content doesn't bother me because I am in complete control. I can put the book aside, I can even decide not to read it at all, I can skim through parts I don't like or need.

At a movie, especially with shaky camera work that makes everything feel much much more immediate, my involvement is deeper, my ability to get away is more difficult, and I might even start to feel trapped.

This all can result in being massively overly stimulated. Too many messages that make me feel like I need to flee or fight.

Since I'm socialized to not react immediately, I suppress what I can, but eventually probably all that built up anxiety and fear needs to be dealt with somehow.

I think this is all occuring physically too.

You are doing a cool thing here because you are warning us and you also got a chance to do what often helps people with anxiety - which is to talk it over.
