Overview

Trauma is a 1993 Italian giallo horror film directed by Dario Argento and starring Asia Argento, Christopher Rydell, Piper Laurie, and Frederic Forrest. Set in Minneapolis, Minnesota, it follows a troubled teenage girl who, with the help of a boyfriend, attempts to stop a serial killer who murdered her parents. It was one of two films Argento directed in the United States outside of his native Italy, the other being the 1990 anthology film Two Evil Eyes. Plot In Minneapolis, chiropractic nurse Georgia Jackson stays after-hours at her practice during a rainstorm to meet a new patient. Upon arrival, Georgia thinks she recognizes the patient, before they brutally decapitate her with an electric-powered wire garrote and disembark with her severed head. The next day, Aura Petrescu, a troubled young Romanian immigrant suffering from a severe eating disorder, escapes from a local psychiatric hospital and is saved from a suicide attempt on a bridge by David Parsons, a sober drug addict and television newswriter. Aura is soon caught by police, and returned to the home of her parents, Adriana and Stefan. That night, Adriana, a fraudulent psychic, holds a séance for a group of locals seeking the identity of a local serial killer known as the "Head Hunter". Aura flees the house, and is pursued by Adriana and Stefan into the woods, where both are met by the killer, who decapitates them using the same method.

Notable quotes

“Fear of serious injury cannot alone justify suppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burnt women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.”
— Louis Brandeis, concurring, Whitney v. California, 274 U.S. 357, 376 (1927).
“An injury is much sooner forgotten than an insult.”
— Lord Chesterfield, Letters to his Son.
“I'm either a mutant or a cripple, and I refuse to be a cripple. People pity cripples, but they're afraid of mutants … Fear implies respect.”
— Dean Koontz, in One Door Away from Heaven (2001), Leilani Klonk, in Ch. 1, p. 4
“The privileged are often good at articulating injury but not always able to identify if they are actually experiencing it. There is a difference in being able to recognize the conditions under which injury has or is happening, and actually living, or having lived through it.”
— Sarah Schulman,
“Megan: Sometimes when people are sick or hurt for a long time, like Elijah, they're mind gets hurt too. They start to think things that aren't true. He hold me what he thought about your father. It isn't true.”
— Unbreakable written by M. Night Shyamalan
“Aut potentior te, aut imbecillior læsit: si imbecillior, parce illi; si potentior, tibi.”
— He who has injured thee was either stronger or weaker. If weaker, spare him; if stronger, spare thyself.
