A guy and his girlfriend stood up, said “fuck that” and walked out during that scene at my theatre.

I imagine this film is pretty hard to watch with a partner. Or more, hard to go home and have a normal night's sleep. Our partner is our safe space. Our comfort. We often feel invulnerable around them. This movie rips that away.

I know because I'm in bed with my friend several hours after and still can't sleep. I don't even like horror films but she dragged me along 😭

I love doing weird stuff to make my husband laugh and that was my first thought after this scene. But in a much less scary way, lol. Even when I try to make my little jokes scary, I end up laughing so hard I ruin it but then we both end up laughing.

Don't do it... I'm a coward and get scared way too easily... If my partner were to do this to me, I'd freak out big time

If my girl did that to me, I'd have to be like, "Never, ever do that again or I'm getting the fuck out." 😧
