Horror challenge

When I was a newspaper film reviewer, many, many years ago, I went to see an Australian horror film that was so bad I can't remember its name. To rev up interested in the flick, the cinemas were offering a refund to people who left before a certain time because it was too scary to watch. I'm not sure if you got the money if you left because it was too awful to endure. Meanwhile, in India, a man has rented out an entire cinema to disprove a claim that the film Phoonk is too scary to watch alone. Pavin Ponanna, 30, says: "I never felt scared, not even for a moment."

May I say that in some instances when I go to the cinema, I wish that I taken a baseball bat in with me instead of my wife ! Nothing is more annoying than the chip packet rattler, unless of course you happen to attend the same session as the mobile phone user ! That is a joy ! No wonder I generally wait for the DVD !
