Horror Movie Triggers Mental Breakdown in Chinese Student, School Held Partly Liable
中国女生看恐怖片后精神崩溃，学校被判部分赔偿

A high school girl in Guangxi, southern China, suffered a mental breakdown after watching a horror movie during a self-study session, leading to a court case that ordered her school’s insurance provider to compensate her 9,182 yuan (US$1,300).

The incident occurred in October 2023, when the supervising teacher was absent and students collectively decided to watch a horror film with the approval of their head teacher. That evening, the girl—identified as Zihan—began showing signs of mental confusion and incoherent speech while chatting with her mother. She was later diagnosed with acute transient psychotic disorder, a sudden psychological breakdown caused by emotional stress.

Her parents sued the school for negligence, demanding 30,000 yuan in damages, arguing that the institution failed to ensure proper supervision. The school countered, claiming the student’s reaction was due to her “special physical constitution” and that it already had psychological education programs in place.

The Hengzhou People’s Court ruled that the school bore 30% responsibility, citing poor management, while acknowledging that the girl’s voluntary participation and personal condition were also factors. The remaining liability fell under the school’s insurance policy, which covered all students.

The case has since sparked heated debate online. Some argued that schools should avoid showing horror films altogether, while others said the ruling was unfair, warning that such outcomes could discourage schools from organizing any extracurricular activities.
