Hey,
Don't know if its that serious to begin with. I have seen the movie and thought it was good (funny at parts) but is it really that serious to cause paralysis and panic attacks.
Now I know about epilepsy, and thought that its mostly rare but not up to this point.
Matter have gotten so complicated that at some point banning the film was an option but not anymore.
Anyways here is what's going on in Italy:
Quote:
While we are all sick and tired of hearing about "Paranormal Activity" in the US, the film just hit theaters in Italy. And the country's emergency response services have since been overwhelmed with calls of panic attacks.
According to the ANSA news agency, there were "panic attacks lasting more than half an hour. The more serious case is that of a 14-year-old girl who was brought to the hospital in a state of paralysis."
Alessandra Mussolini, granddaughter of the Italian fascist dictator and head of a parliamentary committee on children, said "Paranormal Activity" had "highly distressing content" and was causing "panic attacks and psychological problems among youths."
"I don't think we can ban 'Paranormal Activity' now, but surely we need to study how to warn parents of the risks their children are incurring," Mussolini said.
The Italian parents' association noted that admission to the movie is restricted in the United States, Britain, Germany and The Netherlands and asked for an age limit of 18 in Italy.
