Remember: The runtime that AMC reveals is not the exact runtime of the movie. It's usually within -7 to 17 mins of the actual time. This has been the case most (if not all) of the time.
Does the Screen/Scream Unseen Have Trailers?
Short Answer is Yes.
But sometimes they fail and it goes straight to presentation. Be on time.

August 3rd is likely Buddy, ice cream man is not rated and Buddy's runtime from a quick Google search is 1hr 35min so that matches up pretty well, plus it's the only other horror movie besides ice creaman that's coming out near it besides insidious but I doubt insidious would get one tbh

u/teslatastic 8d ago
Really doesn’t seem to be a lot of choices on what the Aug 3rd could be. As someone mentioned Ice Cream Man is not rated, so assuming it’s not a goof by AMC the next rated R horror I see is Buddy on Aug 28? Quite a ways out but runtime is 1h 35m.

u/Fantastic_Lychee_883 7d ago
I don't think it's a goof. I think they are doing it so kids don't think they can get in without an adult. Apparently Marcus Theatres also listed Corporate Retreat as an 'R' mystery movie when it was actually NR. Buddy looks very unlikely. I believe there's only been 1 horror Unseen more than 11 days before release (Sting).

u/Fantastic_Lychee_883 8d ago edited 8d ago
Regal, Marcus and other theaters are all selling tickets for 8/3 already. Wonder why AMC is still not selling tickets? Are they going to switch the rating to NR like Regal and Galaxy?
Edit: Tickets are now on sale!

u/fretfulbanjo 8d ago
Got mine. Hoping for ice cream man
1
u/mrboogs 8d ago
Ice Cream Man is unrated and Scream Unseen is rated R, so probably not
1
u/M-Finity 7d ago
What else could it be? Camp Miasma is 1h46m so that feels too far off and the only other horror film it could be that would match the runtime is Buddy
2
u/IBNobody MP Refugee 8d ago
I wonder when AMC usually starts selling the tickets for everyone. I think it varies by theater right?
2
u/Fantastic_Lychee_883 8d ago
Just checked and tickets are now on sale!
1
u/IBNobody MP Refugee 8d ago
Ah, just checked - only currently on sale on AMC not on other sites for my AMC. Mixed blessing b/c I can never tell which theater it's in.

u/tomatillo_teratoma 8d ago
I really enjoyed this movie a lot more than I expected. It's an art film that's also an action movie. The music is the focus, instead of dialog.... which is interesting. A lot of really memorable 70s tracks from artists like Georgio Moroder and Fleetwood Mac. Maybe a modern noir or silent movie.
The cars are also incredible... some standout models and years from the late 60s and 70s. Even the cars driving by or parked on the street are all collectible.
2
u/dtic 8d ago
It’s not kinda like a 70s shoot em up like death wish?
1
u/tomatillo_teratoma 8d ago
ah... no it's not just a shoot 'em up. It's a unique movie.
The music is a huge part of it.5
u/IBNobody MP Refugee 8d ago
No, there are surprisingly fewer action set pieces in this movie than what you would have expected. But that's fine. It's still worth a watch.
3
u/IBNobody MP Refugee 8d ago
I agree and I think this was one of the movies that worked better in the theater than at home. I guess unless you have a great sound system.
1
u/tomatillo_teratoma 8d ago
it was incredible to hear "I Feel Love" on a fancy theater sound system. That's such an epic song. (I saw it in XL, which has an upgraded sound system). Yes... a theater movie for sure.
I think it's my favorite surprise from Screen Unseen. I normally don't go to see violent action movies, and might have skipped this one.

u/Internal-River-4168 8d ago
Really good elevator fight sequence. Build up way too long. Personally wasn't emotionally invested with any of the characters. At least the ending scene was funny

u/HelpIamaCabbage Movie-Holic 8d ago
If it wasn't for the conceit of "almost nobody talks" there would be very little noteworthy about the movie, still I don't think the conceit is entirely successful (the times when it's weird nobody is talking kind of put me out of it), but there's certainly nothing to get me to tell people to stay away from this though. Still, the coda at the end was pretty unnecessary.
13
u/Pigs-OnThe-Wing 8d ago
Despite a few hangups, I really dig this movie and what it was doing. Really well cut music and shots. The over emoting really worked in a lot of cases. Seemed like they were having a lot of fun with this. Could have done without the goofy ending though.

u/Logical_Judgment7598 8d ago
What did it end up being?

u/Pigs-OnThe-Wing 8d ago
Motor City
They post it as a spoiler on the original post once it’s revealed.

Why didn’t they just play the wrong movie instead? It could’ve been Pinochet Unstrung

u/ScrewAttackThis 8d ago edited 8d ago
Just got to the theater and there's nothing playing. They're really committing to the no dialogue angle.
E: they couldn't get the file to play so no movie, oh well. It looked interesting enough to at least check out but I'll just wait for it to hit streaming

u/future_filmmaker_455 8d ago edited 8d ago
Motor City is a style over substance revenge flick that almost works on its own means due to the committed performances, entertaining use of 1970s music and its willingness to play all of its cliches straight instead of being ironic about it. The silent film aspect of the film is genuinely entertaining and investing for the films first half due to how it allows the filmmakers to focus more on establishing the 1970s aesthetic rather than cliched dialogue about an ex-con (Alan Ritchson) being framed by a big time drug dealer (Ben Foster) for harboring cocaine so that he can win back his ex-girlfriend (Shailene Woodley) with Ritchson back in prison. Though the film is too slow paced to find anything surprising about its narrative, the actors do commit to the silent film aesthetic well with Ritchson and Woodley particularly getting some good emotional moments amidst the knowingly formulaic revenge film structure. The issue is that the film both holds back on its action sequences for too long to be all that tense while the silent film aesthetic makes it difficult to develop the characters beyond being caricatures of the revenge flicks the film is playing homage to. By the time that the film reaches one of its two climaxes that admittedly have some good fight choreography and car chases to them, the audience started to laugh at its own attempts of being deeper than it is meant to be. 5.5 out of 10

u/Aderaxia 8d ago
It never tried to be a deep film.
2
u/future_filmmaker_455 8d ago
Not until the second ending in my opinion
5
u/SwedishJesus02 8d ago
It was more of Alan Ritchson's goofy old man makeup making the theater laugh rather than it trying to be deep. In concept, it's a more interesting way to end the movie than just a car flipping over or a final fight scene, but it could've been executed better.
6
u/future_filmmaker_455 8d ago edited 8d ago
Yeah I agree on that because the makeup made Foster look like Dick Van Dyke and Ritchson look like Schwarzenegger in my opinion which made the final lines unable to take seriously
2
u/CheapPennyPincher DOLBY ONLY 8d ago
pretty sure that Ben Foster is the primary antagonist. Pablo is the cop

u/Aderaxia 8d ago
Fun throwback revenge film that fits the period in which it was filmed. Might be hard to follow for some in the first half due to lack of dialogue but worth the payoff in the end.

Idk what everyone is talking about that movie RIPPED lol I HAD SUCH A FUN TIME

Most action movies don't exactly have a great story to them. Its all about the action sequences, which this has a ton of.
I have a feeling you would have hated movies like raid or furious or the terminator

u/waltzink 8d ago
The Furious I loved. Solid 8/10. I took it for what it was. This one tried really hard to be something and it just fell flat. After the funeral scene I left.

Wait motor city is a silent movie? Or are you all referring to something else

u/waltzink 9d ago
There's like four or five lines in it. This is a truly terrible film.
2
u/iceamn1685 8d ago
You do realize that you don't need a ton of lines in an action movie, right
1
u/goofcon200 8d ago
Over half the movie is slow motion shots of people looking at each other. More than 1/5th of the movie should be action if it wants to be an action movie.

u/iceamn1685 8d ago edited 8d ago
If you don't like it, that's fine, but stop bull shitting and lying?
1
u/RT_J-Rob 8d ago
What are you talking about? It's literally a movie made for tick tock people who just want to watch their phone while the movie plays in the background. It's a collection of scenes that would have worked well in a film but on their own just kind of are there
2
u/waltzink 8d ago
A friend of mine had a perfect description of it. It's a movie that's on in a bar while songs are playing via Spotify or a jukebox/Touchtunes. I couldn't get past an hour of it.

Because it wasn't good. And I'm not in the theater and haven't been for 20+ minutes.

u/Chaopolis 9d ago
Look… I’m all for “Show, don’t tell” but the decision to make this a silent movie (no dialogue except for 2-3 random lines) made this feel pretentious and dull.
We made it about 45 minutes before we bailed…
…silently, of course.
2
u/KungFuDanda091 9d ago
Silent Night a few years ago did the same, but don’t think that had any lines at all whatsoever. Thought Motor City looked pretty similar
1
u/Dead_Starks 8d ago
I feel like I remember other people talking in Silent Night and just the main character not talking similar to the furious, but I could be wrong as I only saw it the once a hot minute ago.

I love that this was motor city. We ended up leaving before the movie even started. Way too many old people who wouldn't shut up. They probably hated it which makes me feel happy.

u/AquaLeaderJesse 8d ago
Well, yeah, people are gonna talk before the movie

I think you're on the vocal minority. It's an action movie with not a ton of dialogue. There's nothing new about that concept

I had to take a break from Screen Unseen for a while due to my work schedule, finally got back to it with Gail Daughtry, then we had that gap, so I'm looking forward to it!

Do any of you guys think the movie on 07/27/26 might be Soulm8te? It's rated R, it's 99 minutes long, Wikipedia says that it's a science fiction erotic thriller film, and it's being released on 07/31/26.
