''[[Black Swan]]'' is considered a "live-action version of [[Perfect Blue]]". With the parallels and existence of the [[Perfect Blue (Anime)/Nightmare Fuel|NF page on Perfect Blue]], those words are truer than you might believe.

Line 10:
** When Nina gets home, someone whispers "sweet girl" from the darkness of the kitchen and there's a bloody figure standing in her kitchen when she turns the light on. And then the paintings start screaming at her.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKPz9qt1orM Listen to the music from that scene] and you'll probably never be able to listen to the introduction of Swan Lake again without hearing weird sounds in the background of the music.
* [[Nightmare Fuel StationattendantStation Attendant|Nina herself.]] Thanks to being smothered by her [[Stage Mom]] for so long, Nina becomes [[Sanity Slippage|insane and self-abusive.]]
** Her heavily implied eating disorder doesn't help matters either.
** One particularly disturbing thing was her scratching problem, especially to [[Paranoia Fuel|those who do the same thing.]] The fact that her mother thinks using scissors to cut her nails is a good idea, and the fact that [[Fridge Horror|she's done it in the past]] [[Fingore|and might have injured Nina doing so]] isn't nice either.
Line 21:
** Her first appearance as the Black Swan, including with Nina's initial lunge to the camera, with that disturbing ''growl''.
* Then there's the moment when, after noticing the blood on her fingers, she starts cutting her nails whilst looking in the mirror with a psychotic expression on her face, while disturbing laughter can be heard...

* Ballerina legs? [[She's Got Legs|Nice.]] Ballerina legs {{spoiler|snapping into the shape of swan legs}}? '''AAAAAAAAAAAAA!'''
* The scene - featured at the end of the trailer - involving {{spoiler|Nina plucking a ''[[Body Horror|tiny black feather]]'' out of the rash on her back... AND, [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|her eyes are red]].}}
* [[Paranoia Fuel|The entire idea of being too committed to a role]]. Nina COMPLETELY loses herself in her quest to become the Black Swan. [[Truth in Television|Considering the process some actors actually go through to become their characters]], like [[Heath Ledger]], method acting suddenly becomes quite scary.
* [[Fingore|The finger damage]]. ''The finger damage''. Not much tends to squick me, but I had to look away from the screen when that happened.
Line 36:
* As a reclusive perfectionist, in more then a few departments, the pure fact of Nina's whole experience in the movie coming from her desire to be perfect...''I just want to be perfect'' indeed.
