Adult Fear is now a disambig, and this is misuse which boils down to "listing all the scary stuff without context"


* AdultFear:
** When a regularly occurring and magnificent but dangerous event that is supposed to be maintained by professionals fails.
** Accidentally leaving your family behind because you were prioritizing your own preservation, followed up by straining your relationship with them.
** Being witness to your parents' faltering relationship and knowing what caused it, especially if that cause is because of or partly because of ''you''.

film, directed by Ruben Östlund.

A Swedish family - Tomas and Ebba and their two children - are on holiday in the French Alps. One day while they're having lunch in an outdoors restaurant, an avalanche hits. While Ebba protects her children, Tomas panics and runs for his life. But it turns out to be a completely harmless controlled avalanche that does nothing more than dust them with some fine snow, and now they have to spend the rest of the week together knowing that Tomas chose to abandon them...


Added DiffLines:

* DisasterMovie: Subverted. Everything up until the avalanche looks like it's setting up one of these... Then the avalanche turns out to be harmless and the real disaster is the fallout from Tomas abandoning his family to save himself.
