Movies are made to evoke strong emotions, and while most of those are usually fine, it can be a real problem when they cause actual stress. A brief jump scare can be thrilling, but the unrelenting nature of some films should be cause for a warning ahead of time.

It seems that the anxious among us have a whole lot to say on this topic.
