Anyone walk out during....(SPOLIERS)

the operation scene? At the screening I went to a few people had to leave, and everyone around me was squirming and screaming and covering their eyes, I was pretty impressed, you don't see that too often in NYC. Maybe one person gets a bit bothered, but a lot of the audience? Never! The last time I saw behavior like that was during screenings of Audition, back in the early 2000's. I saw Audition at least 4 times in the theater, never seen a crowd so affected by a movie.

That's craxy. Btw, how do you get updates and info on film festivals in NYC? I always wanted to go to one. Especially horror. Thanks!

[–] TheHungryAndAngryShow 9 years ago

There are lots of ways, but I mostly get my movie info from :

www.screenslate.com

They have a website and will even email you each day of the year, if you sign up, with what screenings are happening that day. It is mostly independent, repertory, microcinema and gallery screenings. So you get all the interesting and less publicized things in one place, rather than having to search out each and every website of each venue. Even they miss a few things, but mostly they are a godsend, and I make my daily schedule based on their daily emails.

Thanks for the information! Really looking forward to attending as many as I can.

"You have to compress the lung!" 

[–] mimiko33 9 years ago

No horror movie shocks me nowadays... Even the most disturbing ones... But I have to be honest here, the scene at the hospital made me wanna puke so bad... And the worst was the leg scene for me...

[–] TheHungryAndAngryShow 9 years ago

I wasn't that bad, but it did make me a bit uncomfortable at times. But then I noticed what it was doing to the other people in the theater and I really enjoyed watching them squirm.

I didn't even bat an eye at that scene. I'm too far gone, I see.

Did you watch it in a theater or at home?

[–] dazednconfuuzed8 9 years ago

I just watched this film at home last night, and while I did cringe slightly at the sight of her leg, I mostly found the hospital sequence fascinating... Morbid curiosity I guess.. When he reached into her to compress her lung I was glued to the screen.. The thing is.. Her lung did not look collapsed or anything.. why did they want him to squeeze on it? I get the whole point of the segment was for him to do everything he could to save her on his own, I just don't get how compressing her lung was gunna help..

[–] TheHungryAndAngryShow 9 years ago

The point of the scene wasn't to help him, they were f-ing with him the whole time.

[–] dazednconfuuzed8 9 years ago

Ahh gotcha.. I thought the whole point was that all these ppl were in purgatory, and that the only reason Lucas was allowed to leave (while none of the others were) was because he had tried everything he could to save the girl he hit. I guess he was just being *beep* with.

Just finished watching the film with my 14 y/o son and I stopped it during the "operation" scene to explain to him that I was getting a real 'Compliance' vibe (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1971352/) from this segment.

We both really liked 'Southbound' and found its little hints and connection intriguing.

[–] tinoynk 9 years ago

That was probably my least favorite of the sequences. I'm not squeamish enough that I have a physical reaction or feel the need to remove myself from stuff like that, but I still don't enjoy seeing gratuitous blood stuff in any way shape or form.

I liked the idea of the mysterious "911" people giving him bizarre instructions, but overall it was just a little much.

At the very least I have to respect a scene in a horror movie where a New York City audience is moved to sickness and multiple people have to walk out.

[–] loki242 9 years ago

I wanted to walk out and hurt anyone who says this crap is anything but a waste of time. A complete piece of *beep* of a movie.

You hate Congress but every election you re-elect YOUR "guy" and wonder why things never change!

[–] TheHungryAndAngryShow 9 years ago

I quite enjoyed it and so did the few hundred people that were in the audience when I saw it. Not everyone likes every horror movie though.

Man that operating scene was tame to what SAW III was like.

I am a gore watching freak!!!

If it don't have it, it isn't worth the watch.

[–] TheHungryAndAngryShow 9 years ago

I know I watched SAW III in a theater, but it didn't stick with me like the operating scene. Of course, I was in a theater watching the first 4 SAW movies in a row, I may have been seriously desensitized by then.
