Didn't notice any walkouts in Milton Keynes.
Really enjoyed the film. I felt it had a really good pace and was very entertaining. I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10. Not what I was expecting but enjoyable none the less.

That many!? Wow. Yes, definitely their loss.
I was living it up in Gallery seats so couldn't really see past my mountain of complimentary popcorn to notice walkouts down in "standard class seating".😋

Really enjoyed it and no walk outs in Salisbury. Lots of laughter so I think it hit the mark. A solid 7 out of 10 grindy film.

I thought it was great! I went with a friend who didn’t appreciate the dark humour because she’s a bit slow, but I thought it was gross and gorey and it really made me want to continue to watch to find out what would happen

So going into the film I felt a bit meh, thinking it was going to be a generic slasher flick, but boy I was wrong.
I love how it subverted the horror genre, the main character isn't a whining damsel in distress she actually fights back and has character, the evil people are still evil, but they have a reason why they do what they do.
I'm sure the humour will be hit or miss for most people but I found it hilarious, especially that ending.
The gore was very well done, stuff like that normally doesn't bother me but some of the scenes were genuinely hard to watch.
Personally I would give it an 8/10.
Fun fact: Hugo Weaving is the leading ladies uncle.

No walkouts in Kingston, when the title card came up confirming Ready or Not there was a fairly loud "FUCK YEA", some of the audience got really into it, a few out loud "oh fuck"s from certain people in the audience.
I enjoyed it, thought the ending was a bit too out there for me but the humour was done well and there was definitely a tense atmosphere for most of the movie.

First time going to Cardiff (been living in England for the last 4 years due to uni), I was shocked by how busy the Cardiff screening was. Everyone I've been to in england had around 10 or so people (if that), cardiff had loads.

The humour was okay but I found it a little dull overall. Still great to go out and see a brand new film for a fiver! Saw 2 walkouts in Epsom - the two people in front of me and my boyfriend which meant we could stretch out a bit haha!

I haven't got loads to say about the film. While I thought that it was complete nonsense I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it. Started off as something relatively middle of the road and somewhat conventional and then as it went on and become more and more absurd I began to enjoy it more. Beginning to laugh more as the scale of the piece increased. Leading to me laughing a fair bit in the second half - with the final shot having me in hysterics; having not expected the film to reach this point at the start. Overall I enjoyed it, not brilliant but definitely enjoyable and a rather funny, gory feature.
Response in Trowbridge was somewhat quiet from an almost full screening. Couple of chuckles and laughs every now and then, especially towards the end - on couple behind me seemed to laugh every time the old aunt appeared on-screen (Julie Walters wasn't available). Didn't notice any walkouts and when he film finished most people seemed to say they thought the film was alright as a whole.

This was my first Screen Unseen. Lots of people cheering and clapping when the title was revealed. No walkouts in Bournemouth.

Was near the front of the cinema, but none of the 7 people in rows A-C walked out.
It was my first ScreenUnseen and I will be trying to catch them all from now on, Great Movie.

I absolutely loved it. Funny and tense with great performances and one of my favourite recent horror movie ending
