10 Movies Audiences Couldn't Handle

While it's true that disbelief has to be suspended when watching a film, audiences will still for the most part look for realism and logic wherever they can. To that point, filmmakers will often go to great lengths to make sure they are producing as realistic a piece as possible.

This is as much in logic and reason as it is with aesthetics and imagery, and 2015's The Walk is no different. In fact, it may have gone too far in the category of the latter. Based on Philippe Petit's high-wire walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in 1973, and starring the likes of Ben Kingsley, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Ben Schwarz, the movie caused issues for some viewers to say the least.

The 3D version of the movie in particular had certain scenes that caused viewers to feel sickness, and to suffer symptoms of Vertigo. 

With the nature of the story and the images on screen, it was produced to such a powerful degree to cause genuine reactions of this sort, to the point that doctors were advising sitting as far away from the screen as possible, covering one eye during the dizzying scenes, and even avoiding eating big meals before heading to the showing. Realism in cinema? Big tick. Causing actual Vertigo? Possibly a step too far.
