- DirectorTerence YoungStarsAudrey HepburnAlan ArkinRichard CrennaA recently blinded woman is terrorized by a trio of thugs while they search for a heroin-stuffed doll they believe is in her apartment.Main Character is blind.
Susy (Audrey Hepburn), a blind woman, unknowingly comes into possession of a heroin-filled doll and finds herself harassed by three con-men who lie their way into her home and threaten to stab and burn her alive if she doesn’t give up the goods. The film has many contrived plot holes, but Hepburn’s performance as a terrified woman forced to defend herself against makes it strangely effecting, despite its narrative flaws. - DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsJames StewartGrace KellyWendell CoreyA wheelchair-bound photographer spies on his neighbors from his Greenwich Village courtyard apartment window and, despite the skepticism of his fashion-model girlfriend, becomes convinced one of them has committed murder.Professional photographer L.B. "Jeff" Jeffries breaks his leg while getting an action shot at an auto race. Confined to his New York apartment, he spends his time looking out of the rear window observing the neighbors. He begins to suspect that a man across the courtyard may have murdered his wife. Jeff enlists the help of his high society fashion-consultant girlfriend Lisa Freemont and his visiting nurse Stella to investigate.
- DirectorFede AlvarezStarsStephen LangJane LevyDylan MinnetteHoping to walk away with a massive fortune, a trio of thieves break into the house of a blind man who isn't as helpless as he seems.Main Character is blind.
Three people try to rob a blind man who lives alone in his house. - DirectorMike FlanaganStarsJohn Gallagher Jr.Kate SiegelMichael TruccoA deaf and mute writer who retreated into the woods to live a solitary life must fight for her life in silence when a masked killer appears at her window.Main Character is Deaf and Mute
A deaf writer who retreated into the woods to live a solitary life must fight for her life in silence when a masked killer appears at her window. - DirectorRobert DayStarsRichard BooneSuzanne PleshetteStella StevensA blind actor discovers his wife is cheating on him with his best friend, and hatches a plot to murder them both.A man who recently lost his sight gets out of the hospital and plots to kill his unfaithful wife. He starts by pretending to be despondent over being blind. And he learns how to go around on his own. Eventually he masters it and he sets out to kill his wife and frame her lover. He kills her but leaves behind something that could implicate him. The police investigate but the one investigating doesn't think it was the lover and suspects him and tries to prove it.
- DirectorRobert AldrichStarsBette DavisJoan CrawfordVictor BuonoA former child star torments her paraplegic sister in their decaying Hollywood mansion.This film actually has two disabled people: Blanche, a woman who became paraplegic in an auto “accident”, and her sister Jane who grows increasingly disturbed as the film progresses. Jane imprisons Blanche in the family home Misery-style, cut off from almost all outside contact and forced to suffer the indignities of Jane’s “care”. The film’s infamously feuding co-stars (Joan Crawford and Betty Davis) helped elevate its drama into high camp, but it still points to an ugly truth: people with disabilities sometimes get abused by their caregivers, many of whom are close family members.
- DirectorDaniel AttiasStarsGary BuseyEverett McGillCorey HaimIn a small town, brutal killings start to plague the close knit community. Marty Coslaw, a paraplegic boy, is convinced the murders are the doings of a werewolf.Based on Stephen King’s illustrated novelette Cycle of the Werewolf, Silver Bullet features ’80s heartthrob Corey Haim as Marty, a paraplegic in a dysfunctional family. While a werewolf literally tears his community to shreds, Marty believes he knows the werewolf’s true identity. Like Hepburn in Wait Until Dark, Silver Bullet‘s disabled hero can stand up for himself: he rides a speedy assistive device and proves mighty handy with fireworks. But is he any match for the cruelty of a full moon monster?
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsGuy PearceCarrie-Anne MossJoe PantolianoA man with short-term memory loss attempts to track down his wife's murderer.Main character has a short term memory loss problem.
- DirectorChuck RussellStarsHeather LangenkampRobert EnglundCraig WassonA psychiatrist familiar with knife-wielding dream demon Freddy Krueger helps teens at a mental hospital battle the killer who is invading their dreams.The teenagers of Westin Hospital suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and drug addiction: all understandable responses when your friends and neighbors are being murdered in their dreams by a razor-fingered boogey man. A familiar disability trope rears its head here: these kids aren’t mentally ill, they’re just the only sane ones left in a community which denies the existence of unstoppable murderer.
- DirectorGeorge A. RomeroStarsJason BegheJohn PankowKate McNeilA quadriplegic man has a trained monkey help him with his paralysis, until the little monkey begins to develop feelings, and rage, against its new master.You might not have known this, but the late ’80s had a preoccupation with super intelligent monkeys that spawned films like Matthew Broderick’s Project X and Monkey Shines. After Allan gets hit by a truck, the once-athlete becomes quadriplegic and is forced to depend on a trained helper-monkey. But Ella the monkey isn’t all friendly and cute like Michael Jackson’s famed chimp Bubbles — she’s had human brain tissue transplanted into her own, making her both empathic to Allan’s vengeful thoughts and quite capable of killing. It’s probably for the best: monkeys really make better outdoor creatures.
- DirectorAdrian LyneStarsTim RobbinsElizabeth PeñaDanny AielloMourning his dead child, a haunted Vietnam War veteran attempts to uncover his past while suffering from a severe case of dissociation. To do so, he must decipher reality and life from his own dreams, delusions, and perceptions of death.Poor Jacob Singer hasn’t felt quite right since doing his military stint in Vietnam. He got stabbed in the stomach and has been having horrible waking nightmares ever since. The twist: so have his other platoon mates. While he tries to figure out the cause of his waking nightmares, his mates begin to drop like flies — either they’re all suffering from the same deadly PTSD, they were all poisoned while fighting abroad or something much darker and conspiratorial is afoot. Finding the answer could very well kill them. Genuinely scary, Jacob’s Ladder brings up another disturbing disability trope: that sometimes death is preferable than life as a disabled person.
- DirectorJamie BabbitStarsCamilla BelleElisha CuthbertEdie FalcoFollowing the unexpected death of her father, a deaf teenager moves in with her godparents, where she discovers the cruel behaviour of their daughter may be indicative of a dark secret within the family.Dot (Belle), a young deaf and mute woman, is sent to live with her godparents (Falco and Donovan) and their daughter (Cuthbert). The new addition to the household realizes that everything is not copacetic in the home, and the family's dark come to light.
- DirectorBruce RobinsonStarsAndy GarciaUma ThurmanLance HenriksenJohn Berlin, a former Los Angeles homicide detective, investigates a multiple murder case in San Diego. The only witness is a blind girl to whom he is immediately attracted.There’s a sicko targeting blind women, and Sargent John Berlin (Andy Garcia) is determined to get to stop him. When the murderer sets his sights on blind music student Helena Robertson (Uma Thurman), Berlin vows to protect her, but the killer could be one of his co-investigator — hell, it might even be him. Jennifer 8 bombed in the theatre, partly because it’s a standard police-whodunnit; its portrayal of blind women as victims proved a dud as well.
- DirectorPhillip NoyceStarsDenzel WashingtonAngelina JolieQueen LatifahA quadriplegic ex-homicide detective and his partner try to track down a serial killer who is terrorizing New York City.Denzel Washington plays tetraplegic forensics investigator who is depressed, suicidal and yet still very much a badass. Not only does he help figure out the identity of the grisly torturer-slash-murderer known as “The Bone Collector” (so named because they collect bone fragments from their victims), but he’s also so good at his job that he ends up targeted by the killer in the film’s second half. The plot is formulaic, but the grisly murder scenes will haunt you.
- DirectorAdam RobitelStarsJill LarsonAnne RamsayMichelle AngAn elderly woman battling Alzheimer's disease agrees to let a film crew document her condition, but what they discover is something far more sinister going on.Like other people with Alzheimer’s, Deborah Logan has become increasingly aggressive. But as the film goes on, it become less clear whether Deborah’s behavior comes from the disease or some other evil force. It’s certainly disturbing to see an elderly person treated as a monster, but Deborah’s family members end up having to make the dramatic choice of whether to save her or euthanize her before she harms herself and others.
- DirectorWilliam DieterleStarsCharles LaughtonMaureen O'HaraCedric HardwickeIn 15th-century France, a gypsy girl is framed for murder by the infatuated Chief Justice, and only the deformed bellringer of Notre Dame Cathedral can save her.Quasimodo, the titular hunchback in the film adaptation of Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel, has a facial deformity and kyphosis, a curvature of the spine that give him his hunched-over appearance. He gets treated pretty brutally in the film as he is publicly whipped for abducting the film’s heroine Esmerelda. In fact, the film’s violence and allusions to torture compelled a 1940 The New York Times review called the film “a freak show.”
- DirectorJean NegulescoStarsJane WymanLew AyresCharles BickfordA kind doctor volunteers to tutor a deaf-mute woman, but scandal starts to swirl when his pupil is raped and falls pregnant.Dr. Robert Richardson, a dedicated young general practitioner, seeks to establish himself in an isolated fishing village on Cape Breton Island off the Nova Scotia coast. The population is poor and the struggling physician generally gets paid for his efforts in barter. When he meets Belinda McDonald, a young deaf mute callously dismissed by family and neighbors as "the dummy," he alone senses her innate intelligence. He overcomes the initial skepticism of her flinty, gruff father and indifferently cold aunt, who operate a hardscrabble grist mill and farm, and devotes himself to teaching the young girl sign language and lip-reading. Hopes are even raised that she might even eventually qualify for a medical procedure that might improve her condition. Her optimism is crushed, however, when she raped by Locky McCormick, a brutish local fisherman. Traumatized, she is unable to communicate the outrage to her family, who are baffled and angry when they learn she is pregnant. The local gossips...

- DirectorPaul MarcusStarsKiefer SutherlandBridget FondaHart BochnerJimmy is married to the abusive Frank, but she's building a nest egg so she can leave. For a year, she's been deaf as a result of one of his beatings. One night, he pushes her over the stairwell, and she ends up in the hospital.

She's goes on the run, with the same cops on her trail, and eventually realizes Frank may not be dead. Getting back her money, facing Frank, satisfying the police, and finding her freedom may be more than she can handle.Jimmy is married to the abusive Frank, but she's building a nest egg so she can leave.
