The new horror movie, The Outwaters, is proving to be so disturbing that some viewers are reportedly leaving the cinema to vomit. The film, directed by Robbie Banfitch, was released just over three weeks ago and has already tipped over Apple Watch heart rate monitors and induced anxious spells during its 100-minute runtime.
According to the movie synopsis, The Outwaters sees a group of campers experience unexplained sounds, vibrations, and unnatural animal behaviour while on an excursion to the Mojave Desert. As the plot develops, the group experiences a mind-bending trip through terror, leading to a disturbing and unsettling movie experience.
Despite the disturbing reactions from some viewers, the film has received a 71% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with an audience score of 60%. Some viewers praised the movie’s integrity, with Noel Murray from the Los Angeles Times writing that Banfitch’s approach gave the movie an admirable perspective on the end of the world.
