There was a small article in yesterday's The London Paper about Saw III and how since it's release in the UK, ambulances have been called to three different cinemas to treat a total of 5 people (4 women, 1 man) who've fainted during torture scenes in the film.
Obviously the paper brands the movie ridiculously scary, but, actually, a closer read reveals something else. The cinemas in which people have fainted are in Stevenage, Cambridge and Peterborough - leading me to conclude that there's nothing wrong with the film; East Anglians are just wimps.
Being of East Anglian descent myself, when I go see it I suppose I'd better wear a crash helmet in case I fall off my chair. I did after all faint at Watership Down aged 5.
Hmm. If East Anglicans are wimps then what are Episcopalians?
ReplyDeleteLol! East Anglians (no "C")
ReplyDeletePeople probably faint at all kinds of movies--just because people sometimes faint. Maybe they need a sandwich, or a nap, y'know? Only when it's a horror movie, the film's publicists have reason to trumpet the story to sell tickets.
