Anomaly uses content warnings on website descriptions of selected films to help audiences make informed decisions, and to adequately prepare themselves for any potentially sensitive content.
Triggers vary widely and can be highly personal, so we’ve done our best to identify the most common subjects and situations in each program that may trigger a response in vulnerable viewers. But please use your own discretion.
Anomaly designates “Slightly Safer” films which avoid excessive blood, guts, gore, and explicit terror, but may still contain sensitive content, which we have done our best to note in the content warnings.
