SEVERAL cases of people fainting and vomiting from watching the film Saw III were reported, including one case in which an ambulance had to be called.

A 24-year-old Bahraini man was taken to Salmaniya Medical Complex in shock after fainting at Seef Cinema on Sunday, according to sources from the Bahrain Cinema Company.

The man was discharged after undergoing a check up.

"The movie, which is very violent, is rated 18. Every two or three shows we have been getting cases in which people were unable to complete the film" the source said.

"Sometimes they faint in the cinema and sometimes they faint in the hall outside. In some cases they've been running out of the theatre and vomiting in the toilet."

The company has a warning in Arabic advising people with weak hearts against watching the film, in its cinema guide.

"All the cases that were reported involved Bahrainis and Saudis. None were foreigners," according to the source.

There were no permanent injuries.

The incident occurred in the Seef cinemas and the Saar cinema, although the filrm is also being screened at Al Jazira cinema in Muharraq.

The film was released on December 27 and shows have been sold out. The film is the third instalment of the Saw series. It is a horror film about people being put in extreme games in which they are killed in violent ways if they lose.
