16 People Share the Movies That Made Them Get up and Walk out of the Theater

I’ve walked out of a couple movies in my day. It’s always a disappointing experience.

These 16 people were not prepared for what they were about to see on the big screen, though, and they couldn’t stomach another minute.

I mean, props for knowing your limits, though!

16. House of Wax

“I really like scary and suspenseful movies, but I’m not big on gore. The movie started out so promising! It had such a creepy vibe, but then people started pulling off their flesh, cutting Achilles’ tendons, and chopping off fingers and I couldn’t take it. I felt so sick to my stomach and our whole group walked out of the theater.” —jillianb41aa6236f

15. Revenge

“I went into it not knowing how physically painful it would be. I was already watching through my fingers but after Jen hit the tree and was impaled, I had to go sit on the bathroom floor for ten minutes to recover.” —alexn470fbb66a

14. The Hills Have Eyes

A post shared by ?معرفی فیلم های ترسناک? (@filme_tarsnak) on

“It’s the only movie I couldn’t finish watching. As soon as those mutants started molesting the women, I got right up and walked out.” —helenr401c82ed3

13. I Am Legend

“I walked out when Neville’s dog gets infected. I was 13 years old at the time. The whole movie was stressful for me but I just couldn’t handle that part. My family stayed to watch and I sat outside weeping.” —stellardakt

12. Child’s Play

“When I saw the new Child’s Play I thought it would be like any other horror film. But when Chucky killed the cat and the policeman’s mother, I just had to go. It was as weird and disturbing as ever.” —iyannahxmyasia

11. Ouija

“I watched this when I was about nine years old and we left the theater halfway through. All of my friends loved horror movies though, so I felt like a wimp and begged to go back. My parents ended up taking me again, but again, I left at about the same time as before. I ended up asking to go back a THIRD time and when we did, I ended up leaving before it was over.” —m414cf380d

10. The Purge

“The masks in the movie were so disturbing and that I wet myself during a big jump scare (I was 20 years old at the time). I left shortly thereafter.” —victoriaa43d5503fc

9. Scream

“In high school, I went to the movies with a group of friends to see a non-scary movie, and they all ended up wanting to see Scream. I gave into peer pressure and went in with them. I ended up vomiting in the bathroom halfway through the movie because of all the gore. And because I didn’t have another ride home, had to go back into the theater, where I sat with my eyes closed and ears plugged for the remainder of the film.” —ashleym90

A post shared by JOSEPH (@joseph_torres_lpz) on

“The only movie my family ever walked out on was Brüno with Sacha Baron Cohen. I was 10 years old and the guy working at the theater asked my parents if they were sure they wanted me, my five-year-old sister and my 15-year-old sister to watch this, but they didn’t think it was going to be bad. We almost left twice before finally leaving during the swingers bit. I saw my first penis. It was a wild time.” —asiatheestallion

7. Fifty Shades Freed

“I left during Fifty Shades Freed. I was 15 years old and seeing my first R rated movie. I had no idea what I was getting into. All the sex in the movie made me feel queasy and I got up out of my seat, ran out of the theater and threw up in the bathroom.” —iblessedthepurplerains

6. Final Destination 3

“I was in my early teens and went to the movies with my sister, her friend, and my dad. My sister and her friend really wanted to see the movie but my dad either misunderstood what type of movie it was or overestimated my tolerance for gore. I ended up crying by the second or third death and he had to take me out of the theater and wait with me outside.” —chickens

5. Date Movie

“I only lasted seven minutes in the theater. After the man shoots himself in the temple with the nail gun I needed to go.” —srinner09

4. The Green Inferno

“Once they started tearing that guy apart and scooping his eyes out of his face, I yeeted out the theatre and ran straight to the bathroom. My brother had to take me home because I couldn’t go back in.” —cristaw3

3. Gravity

“Space terrifies me, and halfway through the movie I got so stressed that I felt like I was going to be sick. I kept imagining myself in the same situation as Sandra Bullock’s character and felt such awful anxiety. I just couldn’t handle it.” —livilifelove

2. The Ring

“I didn’t see any previews for it and just showed up having no idea what I was in for. I had to leave halfway through the movie, but it took me about a year to finally come back to it and watch the rest. I had to watch it on a bright, sunny day in the comfort of my living room.” —ericas462828bbd

1. Mother!

“The whole movie is very tense and hectic. But the scene that disturbed me the most was where the baby was ripped apart and Jennifer Lawrence’s character was assaulted by the mob. I can’t watch anything with her in it now because it reminds me of that scene. Horrifying.” —beckis4d44254f5

Just 16 more movies I can cross off my list!

I mean…except for the ones I’ve already seen.

Here Are 10 of the Best True Crime Documentaries You Can Stream Right Now

I never get tired of watching true crime documentaries…and I have a feeling you’re a lot like me. That’s why we need articles like this – I know you’re looking for new ones to watch, just like yours truly.

Here are 10 solid, disturbing true crime docs that you should give a shot. You won’t be disappointed.

1. The Seven Five (Netflix)

You want corruption? THIS is corruption. This film tells the story of New York City’s 75th police precinct during the 1980s. Scary and disturbing.

2. Amanda Knox (Netflix)

The infamous Amanda Knox murder case in Italy put the young woman into the spotlight for life. This film traces the crime, the trial, and her life.

3. The Central Park Five (Amazon Prime)

The attack on a jogger in Central Park in New York in 1989 outraged the nation and five young innocent boys were falsely accused of the heinous crime.

4. Long Shot (Netflix)

Juan Catalan had to fight desperately to maintain his freedom after he was wrongly accused of a murder. The key to his defense: a baseball game. This one has to be seen to be believed.

5. Killing For Love (Hulu)

Elizabeth Haysom’s parents were found dead in their Virginia home in 1985. Suspicion immediately fell on her and her boyfriend, Jens Söring. A twisted tale of love, family, and deceit.

6. Brother’s Keeper (Netflix)

Acclaimed filmmakers Bruce Sinofsky and Joe Berlinger made this disturbing documentary about an elderly man accused of killing his ill brother in rural New York. Family secrets abound in this film.

7. Without Charity (Amazon Prime)

9. I Love You, Now Die (HBO)

A long-distance relationship built around text messaging ultimately ended in the death of Conrad Roy, the young man in the love story. The woman, Michelle Carter, was suspected of encouraging Roy to commit suicide, setting the scene for a dramatic, real-life courtroom drama.

10. Out of Thin Air (Netflix)

Two men disappeared in Iceland in 1974 and six people eventually confessed to murder and were sent to prison. Years later, new evidence casts huge doubt on whether the suspects were guilty. Riveting stuff.

13 Things Even Major Fans Might Have Missed in the Harry Potter Movies

Even if you claim one of the houses of Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw or Helga Hufflepuff, and you say you have nary a trace of Muggle in your family because you truly are pure-blood, you may find you’ve missed a few of these tiny details.

Let’s see, shall we?

1. In The Sorcerer’s Stone, there’s a scene showing Aunt Petunia at the stove dying Dudley’s clothes gray for Harry to wear.

This is talked about in the book, but no one says anything about it in the movie.

2. The Sorcerer’s Stone scene showing Harry getting his Hogwarts letter is eerily close to Hitchcock’s The Birds.

But instead of letters coming through the fireplace, Hitchcock had killer birds fluttering down the flue.

3. In The Sorcerer’s Stone, Neville Longbottom receives a Remembrall to remind him what he’s forgotten. He’s also the only one not wearing his cloak…

4. Julianne Hough is one of the unnamed students in The Sorcerer’s Stone.

5. Voldemort appears in The Sorcerer’s Stone cast list as He Who Must Not be Named.

8. Ron’s robes are dingier than everyone else’s in The Chamber of Secrets.

Of course, his are second-hand.

9. Harry warns Dobby in The Chamber of Secrets to never save his life again, and when Dobby does in Deathly Hallows, Part. 1, he dies.

10. There’s a portrait of Voldemort visible by the Grand Staircase in The Prisoner of Azkaban.

11. In The Prisoner of Azkaban, the students enjoy bowls of Cheeri-Owls for breakfast.

12. Nagini is reflected slithering in the Warner Brothers logo before the start of The Goblet of Fire.

A slithering Nagini also opens the first scene of the movie.

13. Professor Slughorn can be seen swallowing a little Liquid Luck before casting the defense shield in The Deathly Hallows, Part 2.

It’s always fun to go back through a beloved series and see what other little details have gone unnoticed. You’ll need the weekend.

Some People Are Upset by Ryan Reynold’s Reaction to Spiderman Leaving Marvel

News flash: A financial rift between Disney and Sony caused Tom Holland’s Spiderman to exit the MCU – and as most people agree that this iteration of Spiderman is the best one, the internet is understandably upset.

And they’re also none too happy with Ryan Reynolds’ (Deadpool) reaction to the news – but only because he’s reiterated the grief tugging on everyone’s hearts.

Maybe people figured that, given that Reynolds was behind the campaign to get Deadpool movie made (he didn’t give up for over a decade!), he might be willing to step in and defend Tom Holland’s Spiderman with the same rigor.

Not so much. It seems like confirmation that there’s nothing to be done – or that none of the major MCU actors are going to break with the company line to rope him back in.

Womp-womp.
