Chaos at Scar 3D screening! Man passes out, a viewer throws up!

This actually happened... I was at the screening too ... read below... This is the future of filmmaking...

When the movie ended a man at one of the top rows was out cold and paramedics were actually called (we witnessed it). Also, one viewer ran out of the theater and threw up all over a garbage can. Is this what you're looking for in your horror? Do you want the experience to be more real than ever before? Do you need the extra edge? If you've been desensitized, this could be the film that breaks you once again. Remember SCAR, everyone will be scarred by it come 2008.

Sorry Abhi, not with this film. Spin it any way you want. It was lame. The guy who passed out could have just fallen asleep from boredom and the guy who threw up probably was making his own statement about the film --- OR ofcourse, it was all a set up - just a couple of hired actors pulling some "Eli Roth type" lobby theatrics to get some press for a film that will be straight to DVD in a NY minute.

I'm not commenting on the film (i'll reserve that for the critics)... what I'm commenting on is how effective this new 3D stuff is... What happened to these people was real... whether or not it was the film, 3D effect or whatever.. it happened... 3D is the future... check out this link...

James Cameron has publicly stated he intends to make all of his future films in 3-D.

This person (abhi-13) is a studio stooge

it happened... 3D is the future... check out this link

the fawning PR-style wording of his posts gives him away.

If you want to convince people, abhi, try to be a little more realistic... oh, but then, since you work for Hollywood, you think WGA dialogue *is* real. Oops, sorry, epic FAIL

COULD YOU BE ANY MORE BLATANTLY INVOLVED WITH THIS FILM??????
First off, this film blows, and is badly done torture porn. Secondly, nobody throws up or passes out during this film. Most likely they walk out or find something else on Netflix.

My god woman, if you're going to write a fake review, try not to make it sound so obviously PR/high schoolish. Maybe find someone with actual writing skills.

All you've done is make matters worse, and make the film seem even more amateur than it already is.

He never said this film was good. Ever. They said the 3D when they saw it was good. Not the movie. the THREE D. They said they weren't going to comment on the movie.

Even so 3D bites. So the guy could have passed out due to being dizzy from the 3D, and same with the person throwing up. It's possible that the 3D was the cause not the movie.

So it's not really that the 3D was amazing but actually terrible, and it probably maybe IDK yet could have been what gore/porn was in the movie too.

I wonder if theyll read this & say that awkward moment when I wasted my life readin a signature. :\

This movie was better than Dawning, and who are you to accuse someone of being involved with a film?

Do you even know what the definition of "torture porn" is, dude?

It's the sadistic nature of getting off (I don't mean jerking off, I mean enjoying one's self, just like pornography), by seeing someone slowly tortured in slow fascist nature, such as in the Saw series or even the Hostel series where the victims scream for their lives as they're slowly dying and grasping for the last seconds of their lives.

THAT... is torture porn.

It's essentially "porn" for the horror industry.

A lot of horror fans enjoy it, and thus, it has its own coined phrase, but has absolutely nothing to do with sex.

*ugh*

Sounds cool! I am a bit desensitized, and I find it hard to find something really disturbing. The Hills Have Eyes, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Saw, Hostel, all of those movies didn't really bother me at all. I was the only one laughing in the theater when I saw Disturbia (everyone else was scared). I'm not saying they were bad movies; I loved them. It's just hard to gross me out. The only movie that really made me cringe and almost look away was Mel Gibson's Apocalypto, even though it wasn't a full blown "horror" movie.

[–] ahaas-4 12 years ago

Sounds to me like real theatrical snuff films need to be created legally somehow. People are way to desensitized.

[–] jaycar122 17 years ago

uh...yeah! it kinda is what i want in a movie!!
it's called horror!
not fright, not scare, not nightmare, HORROR.
don't complain coz u pissed ur pants while watching it.
if u hated it so much, and it was such a bad movie, maybe you should try to GET OVER IT!

[–] daniel_gara 17 years ago

I went to a screening today... nobody threw up but the film definitely made everyone cringe...myself included. It's easily as intense as the 'Hostel' movies... and the 3D is amazing.

I am not sure how 3-D could be the future of film,especially since
trying to make it popular has failed at least twice. There was even a Western that was 3-D in the 70's. Not to mention 'Jaws 3-D','Friday the 13th 3-D' and films of 3-D in the 50's on up.
Sometimes seeing a 3-D films can cause people to have headaches and become dizzy. For someone to collapse may not have really anything to do with the film except the person couldn't take the 3-D process physically.

[–] brettlv5506 16 years ago

I think they may have made a few advances in technology since all of those movies mentioned above.

William Castle did NOT wire seats with electricity for "The Tingler". That's how he "avoided prosecution". Small vibrators were attached to some seats in first-run screenings, which produced a mild vibration on cue (not unlike those gadgets they used to sell in comic books that you palmed when you shook hands with someone).

it's the new 3d with smoky glasses...polarized i think...
WAY better than the old red blue *beep*

it is the future because you can't pirate it with a videocamera in a korean movie theater...it's the ultimate copy protection...

and it's *beep* cool

[–] celtcub 15 years ago

Well... Yes. Yes you can. I have seen the god awful Night Of The Living Dead in 3D on my PC.
And the polarized glasses, you just need to snag a pair for it to work. It's not copy protection and anything that makes even a small amount of it's "users" sick, which 3D does, is NOT going to catch on as main stream. They have tried for years, and even with the latest Bloody Valentine 3D, people simply are not interested. Anyone over the age of about 30 isn't going to go see a film for the gimmick, they want to see a good movie not one that has to rely on things outside of the film to make it better. Of course seeing a flock of PG13 3D movies would make sense. The PG13 demographic is much sought after if only to turn money on the film. I highly doubt we'll see a 3D Oscar Winner any time soon...

yeah me and my mates were all complaining about headaches after the film had finished...
and so what about the graphic gore? this wasn't a horror movie - it was a soap opera with an NC:17 rating and some torture scenes - the editing, acting, score and overall feel of the movie stank of soap opera

Is anyone naive enough to believe in this post...

[–] jazsee 15 years ago

I really don't think the 3D effect actually add anything to this film at all, I was very disappointed indeed! They could have done so much more, like blood splatters towards the viewers, knives or torturing equipment sticking right to the viewers' faces etc. What is the point of making it in 3D when they don't actually take advantage of the effects? I think 'Beowolf' and 'Journey to the centre of the Earth' were definitely worth watching even if just for the 3D effects, but not this one.

[–] george-1079 15 years ago

I could be wrong (as I so often am), but I don't think this was normal 3D. I think this is a process like Disney 3-D, where it's more an editing effect (a novel one), but not where 3 cameras are used to create the true 3-D effects you find like in House of Wax or Warhol's Frankenstein.

I should say "I hope not", because if they meant this to be your normal 3D movie, they failed miserably.

Didn't the same audience fainting and vomiting happen with The Exorcist back in '73/74?
