We’ve all been there: Sometimes a movie is so awful that people actually walk out.
That was the subject of a post on the r/movies subreddit, where u/jelatinman asked the group which movies they’d walked out on.
The answers spanned all kinds of genres and actors, but they all had one thing in common — at least one person got up and left.
So without further ado, here are 22 movies that made people get up and walk out.
1. White Noise (2022)
“Overall I found the movie unbearably pretentious at its worst points and think it should’ve stayed a book.” – u/jelatinman
2. Morbius (2022)
“It was morbin time to gtfo that theater.” – u/yoloswagbot
3. Superbad (2007)
“My mom took me when I was 10. Not sure what she expected.” – u/LordSwitchblade
4. Butterfly Effect (2004)
“I walked out of Butterfly Effect because I got way too high on edibles and thought I was probably going to die.”
– u/AlrightSpider
5. Downsizing (2017)
“My car was getting fixed and they said it will take 3-4 hours so I crossed the street and went to the theater and after an hour of that movie I walked out and decided [I’d] rather just wait than finish the movie.” – u/fredozimbabwe
6. Jurassic World Dominion (2015)
“Idk what I was expecting but it did not do it for me.”
– u/spinktone
7. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
“When I was about 8 (?), my mom took us to see the Chamber of Secrets. I was terrified of the Basilisk. When Harry killed it, I was afraid it’d come back to life and begged my mom to leave. We did and she was not happy.” – u/Batata_Santa
8. The Happening (2008)
“My dad and I still talk about walking out of that theater to this day so it left more of an impact on me than several other films!” – u/jacksizzle
9. Cloverfield (2008)
“Felt sick to my stomach. Too much camera shaking.”
– u/Scarfwearer
10. Saw III (2006)
“As soon as the kid started getting his limbs twisted until his bones broke I had to NOPE outta there.” – u/Mysterious-Sense-185
11. Crash (2004)
“I was even on a date. I told her if she wanted to finish it, I’d be in the arcade. But she hated it as much as I did and we laughed at how horrible it was all the way home.” – u/akg7915
12. Sausage Party (2016)
“One of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.” – u/ColoradoRS7
13. Cats (2019)

18. Valkyrie (2008)

19. Sucker Punch (2011)

20. Saving Private Ryan (1998)
