      I saw a number of them and none of those made me leave the theater. If you think that “The Blair Witch Project” and “Cloverfield” were disturbing (Neither one was to me. I found them boring), don’t EVER watch any of the following:
      1)”A Serbian Film”
      2) “The Human Centipede”
      3) “Basket Case”
      4) “Dead Ringers” or
      5) “Videodrome” (by the same director David Cronenberg).
      6) “Eraserhead”

    The story goes that Stephen King was with his wife for the opening of The Exorcist. When the girl spun her head, he said a woman in the audience stood up, screamed something in Spanish, and ran for the exit. King turned to his wife and said "This movie is going to be huge."

    I don't think people who weren't there at the time realise how effective the marketing for Blair Witch was. The found footage genre was so new, the actors were unknowns and purposely kept away from the media, and so many people believed it was actually a documentary.

      They advertised it as a documentary. There was a website made to make it look like actual found footage from a video camera recovered during a search for the missing people. People talked about it and copied it like crazy. The movie turned out to be kind of weak, but it was nothing anyone had seen before, and enjoyed brilliant marketing.

    I had a friend who owned a movie drive in. He told me that on the first night of showing The Exorcist, about one third of the patrons left before the movie ended.
    However, once the word got out about how frightening the movie was, by the end of that week, his drive in was full to capacity and they had to turn away a huge number of queued up cars. He ended up extending the showing of the movie to three weeks.
    The only movie he showed, that attracted the largest number of patrons, was Jaws.

      When I was in high school I worked in a theater where the Exorcist was showing for weeks. We took turns working the snack bar or sitting in the theater to be sure everything was okay. After about a month, none of us wanted to sit in a back. "I don't want to watch that stupid movie again!" It stopped being scary and was loud, obnoxious and ridiculous. You could see the special effects. Especially wires used to lift things up or make them move around. We cheered when they stopped showing it.

      Uncut version of Deliverance was extremely disturbing, not just due to the humiliation scenes, inbred characters and s.a. but the dynamics of the group after it happened.
      You, Me and Everyone We know by Amanda January focused on child and adolescent sexuality and even depicted an oral scene between a boy of about 14 and 2 slightly older looking girls who wanted him to judge which one was um.. more skilled. While there was no nudity, violence or even much profanity it was probably the most provocative and bizarre movie I've seen made by an American. On the other hand it was very genuine and dealt with things that do happen and did not seem exploitative.

    It makes it more interesting and impressive, so I’m one of the people who can sit down fine with that scene. But it’s understandable some can’t, it is pretty graphic.
    Edit: I found out recently that the producer of the movie actually had interviewed many survivors of bear attacks, so all those attack stories actually helped with making the attack very realistic. Hell a bear expert who ranked it on how realistic it was gave the scene a 10/10. Honestly, I have respect for that producer, very well done indeed.

      From what I’ve seen from clips, the way the bear looks is very accurate to a black bear. Some things are a bit off like when a person is right next to it, it does the constant sniffing. Which they don’t need to do irl, they have an extreme precise sense of smell, so realistically it wouldn’t do that.
      But they got the look of the bear correct and actually how it scrambled up and down the trees, over all so far there’s some correct and incorrect things about the bear, but then again, it is a horror comedy.

    I was in college working at a movie theater, a huge, 28-screen multiplex, when Fight Club and The Blair Witch Project came out. I don't remember anyone walking out of Fight Club, not once, but I do horribly remember many people at each showing walking out of The Blair Witch Project, as well as viscerally remember the gruesome task of cleaning up all the sick in the theater, between the theater and the bathrooms, and in the bathrooms from audience members who got suddenly and unexpectedly motion sick from The Blair Witch Project and other audience members who then got sick in a chain reaction from seeing, hearing, and/or smelling others get sick. My manager HATED The Blair Witch project for that reason. He said that movie cost the theater more than it made, what with the physical damage to the theaters, having to shut down whole theaters because of the smell until he got professional cleaners in (something that became daily during The Blair Witch's run, especially during the first weeks), having to have extra staff on to deal with all of it (despite him even posting a warning at the ticket counter and telling us to warn anyone buying a ticket to The Blair Witch Project), losing trained staff who quit over having to clean up all the sick or refusing to and so having to recruit and train new staff, and refunding the price of tickets to everyone who got sick and the parties they were with who then had to leave with them.
    I remember we even started referring to the main theater showing The Blair Witch Project, the theater that my manager tried to contain the lion's share of damage to, as "The Vomitorium" and continued to call it that afterwards because, despite professional cleaners' best efforts, we could all still smell the sick in that theater and no employees would watch a movie in it, even if it was the only one that was showing the movie we wanted to see. That's because once you knew what that smell was underneath all the other smells of popcorn and so forth, you couldn't not smell it. It wasn't subtle. Long after The Blair Witch Project was gone, we still had audience members come out of that theater and being all, "Why does it smell like puke in there?" and then asking for a refund because the smell was unbearable and was making them sick.

My friend and I couldn't believe our reaction: we were in hysterics through nearly the whole thing. The 'Singing in the Rain' sequence made our sides ache with laughter. Our friends though we were perverted nut cases. Kubrick really did a 'number' with this flick, as he did with most of his stuff. All of it is layered.

    "127 Hours" is one of my favorite movies. The amputation scene is alarming chiefly because of the editing, music, and Franco's expressions. It could have been a gore-fest but there really aren't many scenes with blood. His escape and subsequent events make it all SO worthwhile.

(The teacher had to pass before a disciplinary committee because several parents complained their children were traumatised and had nightmares afterward: the teacher was rightfully not punished btw) The movie tells the story of a soldier who is horribly mutilated in WW1 (lost arms, legs, eyes, lower jaw, ears but not his genitals. In one scene a nurse who discovers the man (what is left of him) is actually conscious and gives him an off camera hand job. Great cinema but utterly ruthless.

I found it nearly impossible to believe that anyone could create a scene as horrible as that underpass rape scene, and to this day I wonder how it affected the actors and everyone else in that creation process. The only other scene in any movie I can think of that was that horrifically transfixing was the Russian Rroulette scene in "The Deer Hunter".

    The only reason to walk out of The Blair Witch Project is because of how absolutely terrible it is. I have never understood why people like it so much. But everyone is entitled to their opinion. I just don’t think its good. And I am very much in the minority.

As for me, the only films I ever walked out on were Tommy (before I learned to love Ken Russell) and Casavetes' A Woman Under the Influence (too hard watching people fall apart).

    The Exorcist. Possibly my favourite horror story of all time.

      Both the parents and the theater were to blame. The movie was rated R and had the disclaimer that it had nudity and strong sexual content. Anyone caught unawares would be only because they were in the habit of perpetually disregardsing cinema ratings, i.e., bad parenting. Shame on them.

    • @TRJ2241987
      @TRJ2241987 Před 9 měsíci +3

      @@borderlineiq I think there were probably a few factors, I think Borat became so mainstream at that time, all the talk show appearances and everything, that a lot of naive people thought it wouldn't be as obscene as it was, and I think most casuals weren't actually familiar with the Bruno character from the Ali G Show (the show itself wasn't nearly as huge as the Borat movie had been) so I think the underestimated how far they were willing to go with the gay shock humor. Also, if you watch the trailer for the movie, it definitely makes it seem way more innocent than the movie actually ends up being. The part where he his pitching his fashion show to a test audience and the camera zooms up his erect penis is definitely the part that cleared the theater. Me and the girl I was with were in fucking tears. It's definitely one of my favorite movies ever, the late 2000s were definitely peak for seeing comedies in theaters, I miss those days. It is definitely crazy that the theater I was at allowed so many small children to get into that movie. I wish I had the video footage of that cinema clearing out

    When "The Exorcist" was released, I was barely 13. With all the hype, I wanted my dad to take me to see it as I was a horror fan. He posed a challenge. Read the book in one week and we would go. I was Catholic School educated. I would bring the book to school and read it during my lunch break. Then a teacher reported me. So there I was (again) at the principal's office. She called my dad. He asked her if she read the book, he asked her if the book was "proscribed by The Catholic Church", and then he asked if she knew how the story ended. When she replied "no" to all three, he hung up. So, I met the challenge, and saw the film at New York's Zigfield Theatre. Wow!!!

Poltergeist was another one, because I was a kid and seeing kids being terrorized in their beds at night with the serious possibility of being snatched away into some parallel universe that was a spiritual torture-chamber, like a nightmare that you could never wake up from, basically a version of hell. The idea is pretty damn scary for a kid.
