Audience members walked out of the “Crimes of the Future,” starring Kristen Stewart and Léa Seydoux, premiere at Cannes Film Festival sickened by horrific scenes.

tweeted from the theatre that he counted 15 people who walked out of the cinema during the screening due to “notably gross plot developments.”

Horrific body-horror scenes from “Crimes of the Future” were too much for some Cannes Film Festival audience members to handle. “Some people who have seen the film have said that they think the last 20 minutes will be very hard on people, and that there’ll be a lot of walkouts. Some guy said that he almost had a panic attack.”

Cronenberg expected that audience members wouldn’t be able to handle his grotesque body-horror style.Mortensen and Seydoux star as performance artists, Saul Tenser and Caprice, who grow and remove human organs on stage in front of a live audience. Stewart plays Timlin, an investigator looking into Accelerated Evolution Syndrome, the disease that allows Mortensen and Seydoux to carry out their performance.
