People Are Getting So Grossed Out By Jesse Eisenberg's New Movie 'Sasquatch Sunset' That They're Walking Out

Actor Jesse Eisenberg has a new movie coming out called Sasquatch Sunset, a flick he calls a "labor of love," although some of the audience who were so grossed out they had to leave may disagree with that assessment.

Sasquatch Sunset features, as you might expect, plenty of sasquatches, but according to Yahoo Entertainment, it also features its fair share of gross-out moments.

It features Eisenberg along with Riley Keough, Christophe Zajac-Denek, and Nathan Zellner who star as a family of Sasquatches who go about their daily lives, and it'll be in theaters on April 19.

I'm not sure who would go into a 90-minute movie about Sasquatches that contains no dialogue and expect everything to be as squeaky clean as an operating room, but apparently, the gross-out/bodily function moments are so numerous, they've been described as "relentless."

And apparently so relentless, that people have had to leave theaters.

So, the star of less gross fare like Zombieland and The Social Network (although that may only be slightly less gross, depending on how you see it) gave his take on the walkouts.

"Whenever you make something unusual, it’s going to turn people off," Eisenberg said. "There are so many movies made for people who like typical things. This is not that."

Liking sasquatch gross-out movies isn't typical?!

That's news to me…

Eisenberg also touched on the idea that this kind of film is a tough one to find financial backing for… what with the bodily functions and sasquatches.

"If you’re a financier, this is a risky prospect because it’s so unknown," he explained. "But if you’re in the creative parts of the industry, what you read is one of the most brilliant things you’ll ever come across — genuinely unusual, really funny and emotional, character-centric and earnest."

Still, they got it done, and boy, oh boy are they proud.

"It was a labor of love for every single person who was involved," Eisenberg said.

I don't know about this one, man. I'm a big cryptozoology guy, but the last thing I need is a bunch of Sasquatches cutting gassers on each other and pretentious Hollywood types trying to pass it off as art.

On the other hand, who am I kidding? if this pops on streaming I'd probably check it out.
