They came, they Saw III, they fainted!

An ambulance trust is warning people about a horror film which contains torture scenes so gruesome they have made cinema-goers pass out.

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.

Trust spokesman Matthew Ware said: "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.


Hahaha! Those films are great, if rather dodgy when it comes to plot. I've seen Saw and Saw II - had me in kinks laughing at some of the setups and groaning at the end due to the plot. Reminds me of the days when the movie, The Exorcist had people passing out and having heart attacks while watching the film.
