Audiences leave theaters because Daniel Radcliffe plays a weird corpse

The corpse character of the actor "Harry Potter" in the movie "Swiss Army Man" has an erect penis used as a fortune-telling pole.

The Telegraph reported that audiences left in droves after 30 minutes of the premiere of Swiss Army Man at the Eccles Theater. This screening was part of the Sundance Festival (Utah, USA) on January 22.

One person shared on Twitter: "I counted at least 30 people leaving at the 30th minute. I got up at the 40th minute because I couldn't take it anymore." Another commented: "I've seen thousands of movies but I've never seen anything like Swiss Army Man. Crazy. Crazy. Like a nightmare. This movie contains details of using corpses as motorcycles, using genitals as fortune-telling poles."

Swiss Army Man is an independent film co-directed by Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. In the film, Daniel Radcliffe plays a dead body that washes up on a deserted island. A lonely young man (Paul Dano) finds the body. He sits and talks with the corpse, kisses it. One time, the young man uses the corpse's erect penis as a divination rod. Another time, he uses the corpse as a jet ski, using its feces as the engine's exhaust.

The Harry Potter actor said: "The opportunity to play a corpse in a movie was so attractive that I couldn't pass up the role." In the movie, Daniel Radcliffe uses a prosthetic penis and has a stunt double in some scenes.

Daniel Radcliffe's new zombie role divides audiences.

Before the film premiered at Sundance, hundreds of fans and VIPs gathered to see their idol’s new work. After the screening, the film became the most talked-about film of the festival season. While audiences were critical, some critics gave the film positive reviews.

The Hollywood Reporter said that behind the unbelievable humor, the film is a lovely work, a gay friendship story with an interesting twist. Jordan Zakaroo of Yahoo Movies affirmed: "This work is both funny and wonderfully human." The film deals with the themes of loneliness and the meaning of life.

Corpses are Daniel Radcliffe's first and most unusual role since leaving the Harry Potter series. Last year, he played a medical prodigy with a temporary hunchback in Victor Frankenstein. Before that, he played a young man obsessed with horse sex in the stage classic Equus.
