Some cinemagoers reported seeing people walk out of the movie or were taken ill during the filming. One horror fan wrote on Twitter, "A dude actually vomited at my screening. After the movie, I noticed he didn't make it to the bathroom... all over the floor."

Another posted, "Loved it! So many people walked out; I don't think they knew what they were getting into."

One viewer shared a photo of emergency responders attending to his friend after the pal fainted. He tweeted, "Watching #Terrifier2 my friend just threw up and then passed out. I've counted five walk outs so far. I'm loving it. #Terrifier2 my friend passed out and the theater called an ambulance. Highly recommended. (sic)"
