Producer of “V/H/S” movie: paramedics were called to treat movie-goers

Hoax or real?

A producer for the horror movie “V/H/S” claims that paramedics were called to a movie theater in Utah to treat two movie-goers after they became ill while watching her indie movie at the Sundance Film Festival.

Producer Roxanne Benjamin tweeted the not-so-believable incident as it was unfolding at the film festival in Park City.

Benjamin claims that a couple was watching the midnight screening of the movie last week when the man ran out of the theater and then collapsed in the lobby after suffering seizures.

Within minutes, the man’s girlfriend also ran into the lobby and began vomiting, Benjamin said.

“It was so scary and not fun, and everyone is grateful the guy and his girlfriend are OK” Benjamin tweeted.

Benjamin also claims that the night before the incident, a female movie-goer left the theater in tears.

So far no one other than the producer and the manager of the theater were able to verify the incident.

There are some skeptics who said that the producer tweeted to bogus incident to create a buzz around the movie.

The movie, which is similar to The Blair Witch Project, is about a group of petty criminals looking for a VHS tape in a remote and rundown house only to find a trove of recorded nastiness.
