Cinema warns of graphic content

Cinema manager Jane Jackson said visitors must be prepared

A cinema is issuing a health warning about a new horror film which is so graphic some viewers have passed out.

The West End Cinema at Boston in Lincolnshire had to stop a screening of Saw III last Friday when a man fainted after getting up to leave.

On another occasion a pregnant woman had to be helped out of a screening.

Other cinemas are reporting similar incidents and West End Cinema manager Jane Jackson said people who do choose to watch Saw III must be prepared.

"Saw III is the most graphic type of blood-thirsty film I think you could get," she said.

"And again it's definitely not for the faint-hearted - you've got to have a strong stomach and if you like that sort of thing, yes, it's definitely the film for you but otherwise think twice before you come along - please!"

Written warnings about the film's graphic content have been put up in the cinema box office and on the poster advertising it outside.

The movie is currently number one in both the UK and North American box office charts.
