movie theater setting these reactions
could include but not be limited to
walking out of a screening due to
boredom or disgust and/or even passing
out due to hysteria illness or fright
let’s go let’s go let’s go right now
number 10 swiss army man the response to
swiss army man at the 2016 sundance film
festival was sort of a two-part process
at first screenings of the surrealist
comedy had to turn audiences away from
packed viewing rooms that is until the
film actually started then it became
more of a challenge to keep audiences in
their seat as many decided that the film
starring Daniel Radcliffe of Harry
Potter fame as a farting corpse was just
too much for them to handle
to be fair there has also been positive
critical appraisal for swiss army man
but that mattered little so audience
members who prefer to hit the bricks
okay buddy
number nine Antichrist there is nothing
a typical of Ukraine do you want to hear
one really good reason why audiences
walked out of the 2009 Art House horror
flick Antichrist we have two words for
you
genital mutilation of course the film’s
director Lars von Trier is no stranger
to cinematic controversy so perhaps this
was why he decided to film scenes were
both Willem Dafoe and Charlotte
Gainsbourg had their respective genitals
mutilated in a violent fashion audiences
and critics varied between obsession and
repulsion at the end results of Vaughn
Trias work with many screenings of the
film being notable for members of the
audience just not being able to handle
the horror Antichrist set on screen
number eight 127 hours 127 hours was a
biopic from oscar-winning director Danny
Boyle about Canyon ear Aron Ralston who
became headline news for a harrowing
situation that left him trapped for days
between a rock and a hard place the film
came to a head during a pivotal scene
where Ralston played by James Franco is
forced to amputate his arm in order to
free himself from a huge boulder
[Music]
the scene is torturous and graphic and
set many audience members into a panic
with some theaters reporting vomiting
and fainting this is something you might
expect from a horror film but maybe not
so much from a film that was marketed as
a triumphant true story
[Music]
number seven raw
[Music]
we’re keeping things on the visceral tip
with our next pick specifically
something of the warm and fleshy variety
the French Belgian horror film bra
raised eyebrows with its realistic and
disturbing portrayal of on-screen
cannibalism
[Applause]
[Music]
the film describes the descent into
madness of a vegetarian college student
who is hazed and forced into eating raw
rabbit it’s after this traumatic
incident that she develops a taste for
violence and human flesh and it’s these
scenes that reportedly sent audiences
into physical panic with some becoming
ill in the theater passing out or
otherwise running the hell away from
what was clearly a successfully horrific
film especially one more time with
Detroit number six Pulp Fiction you know
what they call a quarter pounder with
cheese and France no telling Vincent Roy
allergy today fans of Quentin Tarantino
have grown to expect and appreciate the
filmmakers relationship with the
shooting on-screen violence this wasn’t
exactly the case back in the early 90s
as evidenced by the powerful response to
two of Tarantino’s early features Pulp
Fiction and Reservoir Dogs Tarantino
himself told The Guardian in 2017 how he
counted the walkouts when Reservoir Dogs
hit the festival circuit
[Music]
pop fiction didn’t fare much better with
some audiences perhaps unused to
tarantino stylize vision of emphatic
violence walking out of theaters in
protest the film was even booed at the
1994 Kahn Film Festival by audiences who
felt that it wasn’t deserving of the
Palme d’Or the festival’s highest honor
[Music]
number 5 mother nonsense no no oh it’s
late stay the night no I could please
wouldn’t enjoy the company right yes of
course as the most recent film on our
list
mother was destined to be divisive
although perhaps neither director Darren
Aronofsky nor star Jennifer Lawrence
could have predicted exactly how split
audiences would be on the film although
some fans and critics loaded mother is a
challenging yet bold triumph other
screenings of the film were marred by
walkouts
and complaints some audience members
even went so far as to demand refunds
for their unpleasant experience a move
which perhaps mirrors Aronofsky’s desire
to provoke better than any actual scene
in the finished product do you hear that
that is the Sun of life what is the Sun
of humanity number 4 Cloverfield
mr. filming there are many different
reasons why people walk out of movies
some of which have absolutely nothing to
do with the film’s content take
Cloverfield for example a throwback to
old school monster movies with a very
modern twist the found footage shooting
style many audience members were
actually enjoying Cloverfield during its
big time box office opening back in 2008
but still found themselves searching for
the door because of the film’s
destructive climax this was due to the
often shaky and jarring camerawork that
comes part and parcel with the found
footage style an approach that left many
moviegoers physically ill and nauseous
is this thing okay baby it’s on my
camera I don’t know if it’s the arm
button of the zoom button number three
it about C bit
someone would steal done guess found
away is like many other directors on
this list and that he’s unafraid of
exploring even the most disturbing of
subject matters within his search for
artistic expression case in point the
brutal and unflinching rape scene in
ouais 2002 film theater the senior which
had audiences around the world walking
out of screenings the film which is also
full of physical violence and offensive
language even reportedly featured the
presence of infrasound a lowered
frequency that said to subconsciously
induce fear tension and nausea all of
these aspects make noise in eval Sita a
film that definitely is not for the
squeamish number 2
The Blair Witch Project is a very wet
The Blair Witch Project had the perfect
amount of parameters to make it
successful first off the film’s viral
marketing gave it a massive groundswell
of height before even hit screens in
1999 once audiences did catch a glimpse
of the Blair Witch Project however it
made national news again this time for
reports of audiences walking out of the
theater or becoming physically ill many
audiences weren’t used to the found
footage style of filmmaking back in the
late 90s or the dizzying affected can
often have not to mention the fact that
many fans were also scared witless by
the film’s overall execution so call
this one a win-win that’s your
motivation before we name our number one
pick here are a few honorable mentions
when I get the change I like to take
them into the sunshine and let them play
like a good
[Applause]
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
number one The Exorcist
how long I’m planning to stay in Regan
until you rot and I stinking anyway we
come now to the granddaddy of them all
the massive whore hit that said
audiences screaming into a panic back in
1973 audiences around the world cried
fainted and ran out of theaters that
were screening director William Friedkin
satanic classic with some proclaiming
the film to just be pure evil
maybe it’s the combination of the
Exorcist amazing special effects music
and cinematography or perhaps the occult
themes and religious allegory contained
within the film that made it so scary
whatever the reason the Exorcist
absolutely terrified audiences and
remains a startling example of the power
of film your mother sucks cocks in hell
