Cinema worker warns that staff can see everything you're doing in the dark

A UK cinema worker has taken to TikTok to explain that staff can see everything you do in the dark.

The staff member shared a picture from behind the scenes at a branch of a major cinema chain.

The short video shows a bank of CCTV screens - covering every theatre at the multiplex - with a clear image of what is happening in each one, reports the Hull Daily Mail.

The staff member also explained that the crew has night-vision goggles to help them see in the dark when they are not in the CCTV control room.

The video, which has racked up almost 17 million views, is captioned: “We see everything.”

The worker said in added text to the video: “When people come to the cinema with their sneaky link to do the nasty.”

Users commenting on the eight-second clip were shocked that staff could see everything - but said the worst they usually get up to is sneaking in their own food - including pizza.

Others pointed out the systems are used for safety and security - including preventing film piracy.

In fact, most cinemas do not have a policy against people bringing in their own food and drinks.

But public indecency is a crime - and should not be attempted anywhere, especially cinemas.
