I am sure you wouldn't want that for yourself.

At least I don't wish it on anyone.

Film it and upload it onto youtube and you would have a sensation with people enjoying other peoples pain.

If Italians are having panic attacks from this movie in record numbers, well I no longer have any respect for italians...........

This was probably the worst "Scary" movie of all-time, I saw this and couldn't stop laughing at how completely horrible it was, the only screams in a packed theater came from a group of 13 year old girls. Anybody that believes this crap is real, needs a good smack.

There were similar reports in the USA and at the premier.

Personally, I couldnt get past the BAD acting enough to be scared or find it funny.

This story sounds like classic scary movie marketing to me. It's possible the movie is causing some problems for cultural reasons (i.e. superstition, religiosity), but I have a hard time believing the incidents are anything more than isolated. But if it were I would blame mass hysteria, a "copycat" psychological factor, as much as the movie itself.

Didn't know about that.

I am aware of what The Exorcist did when it was released in theaters. I myself see enough in the movie that could contribute to the people reacting that way. But with Paranormal I just don't get it.

Yeah. I cant remember which festival it was, but people were being taken out on stretchers and a guy in his mid 40s was reported as having a heart attack. I dont know if it was BS hype or true, but there were a lot of "reports of incidents". Who knows.
