Just had one of the worst Movie Theatre Experiences while watching Hereditary
- Thread starter Armadilo
- Start date
This is the main reason I go to the movies at the earliest possible showings. I have to find more theaters that outright kick people out for phone use/talking/etc during a movie, they're rare in the DFW area, where a lot of the audiences that attend movies here think they're in their freaking living rooms, it's annoying and I've almost gotten into fist fights after a movie telling people they should shut the hell up/stay off the damn phone next time they're in a movie.
I would not be against a rule or law that outright forced people to turn their cellphones into some collection locker before a movie started, and having dedicated personal during a movie watching the audience to kick/throw out people talking etc etc.

I remember when I went to see Deadpool 1
There was a father with his kid of like 10 years old (have no idea how the cinema let them in)
The kid screamed and talked all the time
Since then I go to the cinema the Saturday in the morning two weeks after the official release

Opening night of The Matrix I told the guy directly to my right that he could shut up or get his ass beaten. He was with a date and he still just sat there and took it. Not a peep the rest of the movie.
I saw it the other day and my friend sitting right next to me made a clicking noise at the worst possible time. I couldn't believe it! Why!?
I love movie theatres because of the big screen, dark room, sound and immersion....but man, movie theatre audiences.....
There was also some laughter as well but I kind of understand that, as a few other people in this thread have commented it was a little campy by the end of it. I understand laughter as either a release of tension or as a response to the absurdity of the horror unfolding and it's also not necessarily a ha-ha joke laughter, but a holy-shit-laughter response. I totally understand why it'd bug people, not everyone responds to horror and tension the same way, but it doesn't necessarily mean they aren't taking the movie seriously. There were still some jokesters at my screening who I have a feeling weren't taking it very seriously, though...

Just got back from a Deadpool 2 showing. R rated movie 1015pm showing and we lasted about 30 min before walking out and getting a refund. Cunt parents come in with I don't know how many kids, at least 4-5 kids under 10 sitting in the row in front of us, the 3-4 more sitting next to me around 12-13. Is it really that hard to not be a shitty parent? Kids kept talking back and forth, on their phones, not even whispering.
There's even a sign at the ticket booth (cinemark) where children are not permitted to R rated movies after 6pm.

Dude the SAME thing happened when I saw Hereditary today.
Like, fuck me, is this some kind of social experiment where X% of the audience is instructed to laugh or whatever? I mean, I get a nervous round of laughter during a jump scare but these fucking idiots were laughing after every line like it was a sitcom. Plus, all the chairs were squeaky as fuck.
Great movie, but like you OP, awful theater experience.

might have to start saving serious horror movies for home viewing only.
It was sooooo shitty, I was honestly just going to leave at a certain point because the audience were such morons. And then of course all the talk afterwards like "yo WHAT was his name!?" or "I didn't understand any of that shit!"
And I mean I saw it on a weekday at 4 PM. Well after it opened. It's not like I went in "asking for it" or something, to a show that you'd expect to be rowdy.
After getting the VVitch ruined for me, after waiting months for it to come to my single theatre tiny town, then getting Blair Witch ruined for me not long afterwards, I stopped seeing horror movies in theatres.
