Health warning over horror flick
October 31, 2006
A HORROR flick is so gruesome that movie-goers have fainted watching it, an ambulance trust has warned.
The East Anglian Ambulance Trust said it had received a number of emergency calls to treat people watching the new horror film Saw III.
Five required ambulance assistance and one had to be taken to hospital after fainting with fright following screenings in Stevenage, Peterborough and Cambridge on Friday.
Trust spokesman Matthew Ware said: “People need to be aware this film is not for the squeamish or faint-hearted.
“As well as collapses, we have had reports of people running screaming from the cinemas.
“Every now and then a film comes along that some people find hard to stomach.
Saw III appears to have sent film-goers over the edge.”
Mr Ware said the issue had a serious side and urged people to think carefully before going to see the film.
“We had to send three ambulances to Stevenage because we had three patients needing treatment at one cinema,” he said.
“To take three ambulances out of the system on a Friday night could
potentially cause problems.”
Mr Ware added: “We wouldn’t want to discourage anyone from going to see this film. But if people want to see it they should be prepared and if they start to feel sick then they should leave.”
The film is the latest in the hit series following the murderous exploits of Jigsaw, played by Tobin Bell - a serial killer devoted to inventing grisly
torture techniques.
