Every thought a movie was so bad it could have made you sick?
The new “Twilight” movie, which fans seem to love, may be causing medical emergencies in theaters.
ABC News reports that there have been several causes of seizures reported in theaters during the birth scene in “Breaking Dawn: Part One.”
The in-theater seizures, also known as photosensitive epilepsy, are thought to be a result of the bright flashing of red, black and white during the film’s nerve-wracking scene.
And ABC quotes an expert:
“It’s like a light switch going off, because it hits your brain all at once,” Dr. Michael G. Chez, medical director of pediatric neurology and epilepsy for Sutter Sacramento told CBS 13 in Sacramento, adding that “the trouble with theaters, it’s dark, the lights flashing in there is more like a strobe light.”
