Don't blame you a bit. I do not care for horror/violent films either.

Yes i have,got anxiety ,just could not take it ,but when i was much younger and not as open minded as I am now,Now more careful what i choose

Sure wished I'd walked out of "The Blair Witch Project" It was horrendous.

Never walked out but fell asleep through many....

If certain genres are an issue, just avoid them.
For me, that’s anything with Sandra Bullock, Kevin Costner, and Adam Sandler....

Actually I RAN out of a movie when I was 6...1958 "It...The TERROR from beyond space"...scared the CRAP out of me...first glimpse of the Creature and I LOST IT...spooked me in the 70's when I finally watched the.whole movie

i have only watched a little of A clockwork Orange, I could tell it was a movie that I would not enjoy very quickly. There have been others that I had no problem walking out on, always due to graphic violence. One that I wished I had walked out on was Black Sunday a gothic horror film from 1960 that I had to sit through in about 63.

Way back when I had a boyfriend who complained that I didn't want to go to movies he wanted to see. So I went to one with him. I ended up pulling my hood over my face and plugging my ears, but I sat through all of the movie. It was very violent. After that I never went to another movie that I thought would be violent. Boyfriend did ask if I wanted to leave, and I refused. to his credit he didn't seem to enjoy the movie either mostly because I was obviously unhappy. I have wished I walked out of the LOTR movies because I didn't enjoy them, but I was there with my kids and they were fans. I don't watch much violence or absolutely no horror. I did watch Saving Private Ryan, I was active duty for several years, as was the father of my children/ex husband. I did not sleep the night following the movie, I think it didn't help that we saw the movie very late in the evening. I don't think ex fared much better. I haven't been to a theater in years, and at home I don't have cable. When I watch movies they are the "feel good" type. I don't need violence or horror in my life, real life is enough of that.

I don't watch horror movies and find gratuitous violence in movies to be disgusting. I do wonder whether the violence in our entertainment contributes to real life violence.

Brooklyn, NY, many years ago I walked out of a Superman movie, it was crap.

I like horror and I liked Clockwork, I find it easy to detach from fiction. "Silence of the Lambs" was one of the scariest movies because the evil of the characters seemed real. I couldn't watch the George Floyd video, it was real, I couldn't buffer it with disbelief and the horror was inescapable(right now the memory is causing my chest to feel crushed). Fiction has a rush like riding a rollercoaster, I enjoy it because there isn't actual danger. The movies I've walked out were boring.

I don't watch any movies any more, but when I did, no horror movies. I want to be entertained, preferably with laughter. I don't get a rush from being scared.

" The Bodyguard". Most boring film I've ever laid eyes on. BTW I love "A Clockwork Orange".

I don't blame you for walking out of that movie.. I did too.

Actually , this is the movie I got up and left . I hated the female form used as the tables , in the beginning , then later hated the eminse guy throwing up continuously , and decided it wasn't worth viewing , so left .

Just reading Clockwork was numbing, I can't think of seeing it. The level of violence was at first appalling and then left me numb and just wanting to get to the end of it, which I think was part of the message intended- the numbing effect of exposure to (and committing) violence, which I see at my work relentlessly now I think about it, staff and prisoners alike. It isn't true for all but it is for enough that we should be mindful. That's a message that can't always come across just by writing editorials or studies, sometimes art is needed to convey it. But I understand your reaction. I only finished the book because I was determined to slog through it once I'd started, like Moby-Dick which I waded through to get to the last 3 chapters.

I walked out of one theater in my life. I can't recall the title, but it starred (loosely speaking) the Unknown Comic- yes, the guy with the paper bag on his head- who, during the daytime, secretly pursued his dream of becoming a police officer in a wacky precinct. It was every bit as bad as it sounds. After the first 4 vagina jokes in about 15 minutes, I was outta there. There was a reason for the paper bag, believe me.

I know that was a traumatic experience.

That movie is pretty brutal.

That's a terrible thing to witness. Especially for a five year old child. It's no wonder you were deeply affected. Had I been in your place I would most likely have reacted the same way.

I walked out of "Apocalypse Now".
I've never even tried to watch it again.

I won't watch horror movies either.
Saw "Night of the Living Dead " on TV when I was a kid. It ruined me for life.
