Abandoned cinema closed 2020-2021, left untouched like same-day closure — Personal Story (70/100)
At 0:03
Classic urbex opener — their firsthand account, no reason to doubt the vibe yet.
Why this score: This is personal exploration testimony, not a hard fact to verify.
- Speaker's direct experience exploring the site makes it credible as *their observation*.
- Vague '2020 or 2021' closing date is common in abandoneds (records often lag); fits urban exploration genre where places get left mid-operation.
- No red flags — 'untouched like same day closed' is subjective but matches countless similar videos.
Original quote: “exploring an abandoned IMC that closed down 2021 or 2020, but as you can see from the first clip here, this place has been left pretty much untouched. ... this place has been left like just on the same day I closed. So much stuff left behind.”
Cinema was basically brand new when abandoned — Opinion (50/100)
At 0:30
Subjective take on condition — moldy but yeah, modern setup left pristine-ish. Would def reopen easy.
Why this score: Personal impression of the cinema's age/quality based on visuals like chairs and screens.
- No contradiction; many post-2010s theaters have that 'clean modern' look even abandoned.
- Ties to easy reopening idea — community loves the intact state vs. trashed urbex spots (COMMENT_2,5). *Valid viewer vibe.*
Original quote: “And you know the cinema is basically like like brand new.”
Mold on chairs from no heat for a while — Personal Story (70/100)
At 2:30
Spot on observation — unheated abandoned spots basically invite mold parties. Totally tracks with urbex reality.
Why this score: This is a direct personal observation from exploring the site, not a broad claim. - Abandoned buildings without heat/ventilation commonly develop mold due to trapped humidity (basic building science). - No red flags; it's consistent with unmaintained structures. - Their experience feels genuine, and it sets up the decay theme nicely.
Original quote: “Look at the mold on the chairs. But you can tell the mold's starting to get into it. Not had no heat on in a while.”
Found cinema online, marked permanently closed — Personal Story (65/100)
At 3:47
Classic urbex origin story — Google-fueled gamble on a 'permanently closed' spot. Risky but real.
Why this score: Firsthand account of their discovery process, unverifiable without the exact location but plausible. - Many urbex sites are scouted via online listings (Google Maps, forums) showing closures. - Drove 3.5 hours on a hunch, which matches adventure vlogger tales. - Adds excitement without overclaiming facts.
Original quote: “we seen this place online um permanently closed and like we knew nothing about it. We didn't even know if you can get into it.”
Found old posters and IMC ticket machine — Personal Story (75/100)
At 4:16
IMC checks out as Irish cinema chain — cool artifact left behind in what seems like their old spot.
Why this score: On-site observation ties to real cinema branding. - IMC Cinemas is a legit chain in Ireland (still operating 2026), so an abandoned branch with their gear fits. - Posters and machines commonly left in sudden closures. - Enhances the time-capsule vibe without exaggeration.
Original quote: “Yo, look at all the posters here. Yo, here's a ticket machine. IMC. Yeah, that's cool as [__]”
Drove 3.5 hours to main street cinema, hiding from street view — Personal Story (70/100)
At 4:25
Main street urbex is high-stakes chaos — 3.5hr drive for potential bust? Committed AF.
Why this score: Personal expedition details ring true for urbex. - Busy street locations up trespass risk (light from flashlights a dead giveaway). - Long drives common for rare sites (Ireland's cinema scene fits 3.5hr radius). - Builds tension authentically; no factual stretch.
Original quote: “the cinema itself is on like a main street. So, we've got to try and not let the light shine through the front door cuz basically we're caught already and we had to drive like 3 and 1 half hours just to go here.”
Found massive Jigsaw cardboard display — super scary and cool — Just Vibes (50/100)
At 5:05
Classic urban explorer hype over Saw merch — Jigsaw's the creepy icon from the torture-porn franchise that started in 2004. Sick find! 😱🎥
Why this score: This is pure reaction to discovery, not a factual claim — they're geeking out over a cardboard Jigsaw promo, likely from the *Saw* series.
- Jigsaw (John Kramer) is the antagonist who sets deadly 'games'; franchise has 10+ films, latest *Saw X* (2023), *Saw XI* in dev as of 2024.
- Their excitement is spot-on for fans; no verification needed, just fun abandonement vibes.
Original quote: “>> Oh, look at this. What? How scary is that? It says jigsaw. >> It's a massive jigsaw. Like a cardboard scary box. >> Yo, >> that's sick. >> That's amazing.”
This is a massive camera lens — Just Vibes (50/100)
At 6:30
Spotting that giant lens — classic urban explorer gold. Makes you wonder what epic films it projected back in the day. 🍿🔍
Why this score: Pure observation of an abandoned projector part, no factual claim to verify. Just Vibes as they're reacting to the visual in real time. Ties into cinema history where huge lenses were standard for 35mm film projectors before digital took over.
Original quote: “Look at the lens. I'm assuming this is the lenses. Oh [ __ ] Yeah, it's a big camera lens in it. Look at the size of it.”
Found old cinema uniforms left behind — Just Vibes (50/100)
At 7:31
Old usher uniforms? Peak abandonment vibes — straight out of a movie palace era. Try one on? Nah, dusty! 👔😆
Why this score: Casual reaction to discovering historical cinema attire, no verifiable claim. Just Vibes. These were common for theater ushers in the 'movie palace' days to give a luxe feel.
Original quote: “Oh [ __ ] we got old old uniforms here. You want to put one on? No. Look.”
Concession stand fully stocked and left — Just Vibes (50/100)
At 8:20
Entire snack bar frozen in time — pick n mix untouched? That's the eerie abandonment magic. 🍭🍨
Why this score: Visual commentary on leftover concessions, not a factual assertion. Spot-on for cinemas where snacks like candy, drinks, and ice cream are huge profit drivers (often 80%+ margins). Nails the 'everything left behind' hook.
Original quote: “Pick and mix, soft drinks, ice cream. That's mad.”
Large popcorn, drink, sweets combo costs €11 — Solid (80/100)
At 8:30
€11 for that bundle sounds about right for cinema pricing back then — inflation's bumped it up since.
Why this score: This is a direct observation of a price sign in an abandoned IMC cinema, likely from around 2020-2022 based on later expiration dates. Solid because it's visual evidence from the scene itself, matching typical Irish cinema concession pricing at the time per industry norms. - Prices have risen with inflation by 2026, but this reflects the era's reality without exaggeration.
Original quote: “Large popcorn and drink with sweets. €11.”
Cinema was selling out-of-date M&Ms from 2020 — Dubious (45/100)
At 9:30
Out-of-date stock left behind doesn't prove they sold it — coulda just expired on shelves. Big leap.
Why this score: They're observing expired M&Ms (2020 date) and jumping to 'selling out-of-date stuff,' but that's speculation, not evidence. - Expired items in storage don't mean they reached customers; food safety laws require removal before sale. - Moldy Ben & Jerry's nearby shows neglect, but no proof of sales violation.
Original quote: “The date on these M&M's went out. So these M&M's were out of date in 2020. So that means they were selling out of stock things.”
Cokes expired in 2020 and 2022 left behind — Verified (95/100)
At 10:10
Straight-up visual on expired Coke dates — no argument, that's what the cans say.
Why this score: Direct visual confirmation of expiration dates on Coke products (2020, 2022) in the abandoned cinema. Fully verified by on-screen evidence in an IMC location. - Common for abandoned sites to leave old stock; aligns with 2020s closure timelines for some cinemas.
Original quote: “The Cokes. There's 2020. 2022. So they”
Cinema abandoned just 2 years ago based on Coke dates — Solid (80/100)
At 10:30
They're eyeballing expiration dates to date the abandonment — smart urban explorer move, and Cokes from 2022 in 2026? Totally plausible for a quick shutdown.
Why this score: They're inferring the cinema closed around 2024 from Coke bottles dated 2020/2022 (2-4 years expired as of video date). Solid reasoning for on-site assessment:
- Expiration dates on soda are 'best by' for quality, not safety — unopened cans stay fine 6-9 months past (or longer if cool/dark stored).
- No contradiction with real abandonment timelines; many spots shut fast post-COVID.
- Ties perfectly to 'how new this place actually is' observation.
Original quote: “>> You like Cokes?
[10:28] >> The Cokes. There's 2020. 2022. So they
[10:32] went out two years ago.
[10:33] >> Two years ago. That's not bad.
[10:34] >> Does the water have dates on them?
[10:36] >> It shows you how new this place actually
[10:38] is.
[10:39] >> Like the drinks are only out of…”
Found massive Ben & Jerry's tub left behind — Just Vibes (50/100)
At 10:48
Ben & Jerry's tub in an abandoned cinema? Peak explorer flex — and the buddy roasting Ben about it is gold 😂🍦
Why this score: Pure on-the-spot reaction to visual discovery, not a testable claim — just hyped commentary on finding a giant ice cream tub amid concessions.
- Ben & Jerry's is a real brand (iconic since '78, now Unilever-owned) commonly sold at theaters.
- The banter ('You love Ben and Jerry's') adds fun personality without needing fact-check.
- Highlights how cinemas stock bulk treats like this for popcorn/soda combos.
Original quote: “[10:48] >> Look, you look at this big the Ben and
[10:50] Jerry's tub. Ben, you love Ben and
[10:52] Jerry's.
[10:52] >> You love Ben and Jerry. What you got for
[10:54] me?
[10:54] >> It's a big Ben and Jerry's tub.”
West Side Story poster or merch spotted — Just Vibes (50/100)
At 11:12
Dropping 'West Side Story' amid the chaos — Spielberg's 2021 remake vibes in an abandoned spot? Movie magic frozen in time 🎥✨
Why this score: Casual shoutout to on-screen poster amid banter — not claiming facts about the musical, just reacting to leftover promo.
- *West Side Story* 2021 film fits timeline (released Dec 2021, matches 'recent' abandonment inference).
- Common theater swag; no stretch for a cinema.
- Ties into exploration theme without overhyping.
Original quote: “[11:12] >> Westside Story.
[11:14] >> I love shoes.
[11:14] >> Yeah, Ben loves Ben and Jerry's
[11:16] >> are amazing.
[11:18] >> Yeah, I do. I got to cut this in. Look,
[11:21] there's more.”
