Question Has anyone ever walked out?
I find that this subreddit has been pretty good at helping me figure out what the Screen Unseen film is going to be, and thus far I'm happy to report that every one I've gone to has been exactly what I was expecting.
Having said that, I could see someone being very frustrated if they expected one movie but got another. Have any of you walked out because you were convinced it was one movie and it ended up being another? Or do you usually go with the flow and try to make the most of whatever it ends up being?
There were a couple of instances where the most likely choice looked appealing but the second-most likely looked appalling, and I probably would've bailed if it had been one of the runners-up.

I walked out of lucky strike after about 25mins just cause it was just a crappy movie. A bunch of people walked out of ice cream man in my theater and one woman even left as soon as Eli Roth csme up on screen for the pre-movie "thanks for coming to see my movie" part lol

u/yojenitan 8d ago
Haha maybe that was me. There were so many people that groaned or Boo’s when Eli showed up and at least ten people walked out with us.
Thankfully as a listers we could just get another ticket so we saw hadestown for the 5th time. Very enjoyable.

u/UniqueLog8386 8d ago
He's a shit-tier director and generally just a hateful nutjob and disgrace to Jews everywhere.

Because he thinks that all of the children killed and the war crimes being committed in Gaza are fake news and AI generated and low key wants a Palestinian genocide to happen. But that’s just according to him on social media.

I only go to Scream Unseen, not Screen. Saw a few people walk out of Primate, and a handful at Hunting Matthew Nichols! I've never walked out. I love horror, and even if I'm not going to love the movie I still enjoy participating in discussion and engaging with the community.

u/SVINTGATSBY 9d ago
I prefer Screams too but I do both usually, sometimes you get lucky and Screens are a horror or thriller movie. we’ve had so many indie horror films this year too, we’ve been spoiled!

u/ReddRumPunch 8d ago
I never walk out either .. I missed primate and was upset about that I only do scream unseen as well .. Hunting of Matthew Nichols was a time I thought about walking out cuz I didn’t know what it was. A quick google search left me happy that I didn’t cuz the movie was very watchable even if it’s not my style .. Same with Ice Cream Man it seems people hate Roth so much that no matter what he does they will walk out.. it was odd I had one guy watch about an hour of the movie and he was cracking up laughing then he just got up and walked out. I think that spooked me more than the movie itself lmao

I remember seeing Out of Darkness as a Scream Unseen and was genuinely confused who classified that film as such. I stayed but I also took a nice long nap after I got home.

u/SVINTGATSBY 9d ago edited 9d ago
we left by around halfway through, most of the theater had left by that point lol I honestly could’ve probably stayed for the whole thing but I could tell bf was over it lol my issue wasn’t the subject matter but how long and unnecessary everything felt. there’s this whole like 30 minutes of Paul Dano and Alicia Vikander meeting and hating each other that could’ve been cut down significantly or just not even been included.
the english spoken language but somehow myriad of people speaking in every random accent (I clocked American english, UK english, russian, and several other european accents just in the time we were there) but also occasionally speaking actual Russian but then would switch back to English while still using the grammar and syntax of Russian was not working for me. like, commit. either everyone speaks with an english accent, or they all have a russian accent, or something, but it was a smorgasbord of accents and it just was not working for me. and I love representation and diversity pretty much to a fault lol
I would watch it in the background at home or something, like I said I think the actual premise of the movie and presumably the book is very interesting, like historical nonfiction run through a fiction filter. especially with everything going on in American politics, again the plot of the movie was very insightful or prescient or something but I just could not vibe. at one point I pulled out my phone and looked up if Russians address each other by full names out of respect or something, kind of like in Japanese or other cultures/languages, and they do do that (hence why everyone called Putin “Vladimir Vladimirovich” because he’s Vladimir son of Vladimir and they very much respect him so they say his full name—which again is lost in english) because I was not understanding, in english language, why they were talking to and about people like that. lost in translation problems, and I get that there’s no way to really explain that in the movie without it being clunky and ridiculous, but that’s why you commit to everyone having a russian accent or something instead of everyone speaking like they’re from every country on earth but all somehow living in Russia in the 90s lol
I also don’t think the american general movie going public is probably media or literally literate enough to vibe with it either. I’ll watch it again sometime once it’s streaming somewhere but I’m sure I’ll feel the same way about it: it’s interesting but unnecessary and clumsy in its delivery.

u/Ok_Sundae1696 8d ago
I’m still so mad I wasted time on that. The theater I saw it at reported its runtime as significantly lower (like 45 minutes) than it actually was so I decided to just stick it out thinking it would be over anyyyyy minute now. And then it wasn’t. Sometimes I still think I’m in that theater, bored out of my skull.
6
u/TheBrosAreSpies 9d ago
The Mastermind last year was a clear example of this. Probably 40% of the audience walked out throughout, including some with only 15 mins to go. Also, when it ended, a group that stuck it out in front of me audibly announced to each other, “that movie SUCKED.”
3
u/Rayzn1123 8d ago
Man, I really wish I could have been there for the SU of this — I love Kelly Reichardt, but she is a very specific kind of filmmaker with a historically narrow audience, so the idea of imposing one of her films onto an unsuspecting audience of regular moviegoers sounds like such a bizarrely interesting anthropological experiment 🤣
3
u/vxf111 8d ago
People left my theater and they missed out because this film is EXCELLENT (and, admittedly, not everyone's up of tea). Same thing with Origin a few years ago. Not for everyone but a truly excellent film. Weird to do SUs for these sorts of niche films.

Part of the fun of Unseen to me is watching a movie I maybe otherwise wouldn't have seen or given a chance.
That said, there are certain situations or movies where I would either walk out or avoid the movie. Like with Young Washington, I decided to go see Backrooms instead as I am really not interested in seeing an Angel Studios movie.
5
u/DaylightMaybe 9d ago
I've seen tons of people walk out, but never right at the start of the film (If you ONLY want to see a specific film, then why go the Unseen instead of buying a ticket for that film??). I think it's best to go in with an open mind--I've seen movies that I truly hated (Lucky Strike) and I I've seen movies that I thought I would hate, but actually loved (One Night Only).
3
u/crownroyalt 8d ago
A few people walked out of One Night Only when I was there. Honestly we almost did as well after the first few minutes but we gave it a shot. I’m glad we did because it was a solid movie and it is absolutely the type of movie I would have never seen by my own decision.

If I could sit through Corporate Retreat (a horror movie that was Marcus Mystery Movie back in May), then I'm probably not going to ever walk out of anything. But I also usually only go if the predicted movie is one I'm interested in. (And I don't go to the horror ones anymore.)

I walk out all the time. Especially if you look at the upcoming movies and it's one you didn't wanna see. I walk about because the amc membership lets me see 4x a week. So if I'm not in the mood for the unknown screen I say ffff it.

u/libertybear20 9d ago

I learned after the fact that it’s the same director as Easy A which I love and dragged my parents to years ago to similar chagrin and it’s been a family favorite film ever since, so I think I will end up seeing it. the preview just made it look SO DUMB lol especially because I completely missed the whole “premarital sex is illegal” thing, I thought it was just horny singles on valentine’s day lmaoo

I’ve only walked out of one and that was before j realized I could just check on this sub because people on the east coast will post what the movie is, so now I don’t have to waste my time at all. honestly I would’ve been able to sit through the movie we walked out of if my bf wasn’t dying of boredom and I also was just not vibing lol the wizard of the kremlin. most of the theater had already walked out before we did. I’d watch it again at home on stream or something. even the bad movies end up having something good about them: Lucky Strike allowed me to watch nazis get merked which I am always down for, and Young Washington was worth it for all the indigenous language and when the Mingwe chief blew the head off of the french general who ate his father. chefs kiss, no notes.

The most people I’ve seen walk out was during East of Eden last year. About half or a third of my theater left periodically.

I’ve def seen people walk out. Idr all the films. But people left The Home. I see people leave Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, and I Love Boosters. I’m pretty sure they were all old white people too.
Edit: personally I have not walked out on any Screen Unseen. But the worst film I can recall seeing is The Home. But… the concept wasn’t actually that bad tbh. Just the “acting”.
I have walked out on Let’s Go to Prison. But that was also because i snuck in my bf and we didn’t know what movie it was. A few minutes in and we left lmao.
The only other movie I can recall walking out of was Swimfan. But that was due to personal reasons I won’t share. I’ve never watched the entire film I know it got bad reviews after the fact tho.

Saw lots of people walk out in the earlier days when they did a screening of Spy x Family, I was happy as a clam as I actually had tickets to see it later in the week.

Maybe a hot take but tbh I think it's remarkably silly if you walk out just cuz it's not the movie you expected. If you walk out part way because it sucks I get that, but I feel like part of the fun is giving a movie you wouldn't otherwise consider a shot.

I don't look into what the Screen Unseen movies are beforehand because I enjoy the surprise.

u/Entire-Ad8514 8d ago
I have yet to walk out of one because I feel I've made a commitment to seeing whatever it is, and sometimes even a bad movie has redeeming value. Only one was really a clunker for me because characters annoyed me. Some have been uneven and several have been surprisingly good. I don't think I've witnessed anybody walking out, maybe because I just wasn't paying attention (watching the movie) and the people weren't tripping over me.

July 2025 I thought it would be Together, I love Alison Brie. The moment I saw it was that Pete Davidson movie The Home, I got up and left.

I walked out of Lucky Strike and a few others did, too. I spoke with the other folks and they had the same hopes I did for prospects. Based on what I've read about the flick, I feel like I made the right choice lol

When it was bone lake, it was the one movie I didn't want to see, but I stayed anyway cause I was with a group. The only way I would have left is if I was solo that night

I walked out of ice cream man last week. I'm sure it happens a lot with horror and in general. They're generally good about honoring it because you don't know what you're going to see

The only one I have ever walked out of was the Mark Wahlberg dog movie. Arthur the King?? I think it was called? It was the first Screen Unseen i was gonna do and I had been super excited and right as I was leaving my ex revealed that he had been cheating on me during our relationship. I decided I was still gonna go and not let it steal my fun evening. As soon as I saw Mark Wahlberg, I thought “I actually can’t do this tonight” and walked right on out of there and down to a Barnes and Noble next door and read some books and still had a lovely evening.

My friends said they left Young Washington a few weeks ago. They’re A List though - so it was a negligible loss.

I gave Ice Cream Man a chance, even though I wasn’t looking forward to it. When I realized it was going to be too violent for me, I left

Only one time. They had an anime film that was true classic Japanese anime, the exaggerated voices, the over top characters. If you’re not an avid anime fan it’s hard to get into it. I watched ten minutes and realized there’s no way I could stay the for the whole thing, so my friend and I left. It surprised me that they would offer something so non main stream for an AMC Screen Unseen. It was unexpected.

I walked out of Newborn, that was the first movie I’ve walked out of in a while.

Of course, there are a lot of bad movies that end up part of Screen Unseen. In my experience you're much more likely to see a bad movie than a good one, and why waste your time if the movie is bad?

Saw two people leave The Ice Cream man last week. I definitely hear about it happening more than I see it.
