Made me laugh so much (I have omitted the swear words!). The whole thing was a joke. No, I don't think it is in any graveyards.

If the film were good, I would have gone picked it up but cemetry's don't really appeal to me. It's not the film that would scare me but rather the cemetry. I've never been a fan of graveyards. Avoid them at all costs. Good thing its not a film I'd want to watch on big screen anyway. No loss really.

I wonder who from here will be going.
Haha me too. I remember seeing a re-release of Exorcist as it was celebrating its release from a long ban in uk. As I watched with my friends we ended up laughing. We didnt find anything scary, just the opposite. Then the crescendo of our laughs peaked when "the power of christ" line kept on repeating. I use to wonder if I was too influenced by my friends that I perceived the film as an unintentional comedy but I dont now knowing you guys thought the same!

Its amazing to think this film was banned for so many years because it was deemed scary.

I shant be going though, never had any intention of doing so, as I am not a member of facebook person and wont to ever be.

Yeh but I'm sure we watched the edited versions with alot of the good scenes removed. I would have loved to watch the original to see what was so frightening about it that they banned it! Shame it came out before I was even born. :(

I guess this is probably showing in a graveyard in line with demonic possession. It's assumed spirits and ghosts would be found in graveyards where they then jump into your body and possess you! Woo!

It will be really cool if they screen this when it's really dark and the roads are empty and there's no where to scream for help. :twisted:

I am old enough to have seen it when it first came out (I seem to think that I was not officially old enough to see an X-certificate though). It was not that frightening, even then.

The roads won't be empty as the event is at 6.45 - it is very busy around there at that time on a friday night.

The latest Facebook message from Orange, that came tonight says to confirm that you should reply the message today to confirm that you will be collecting your tickets tomorrow .

A lot of people will be out tonight - I wonder if they will lose their tickets if they do not reply.

I am now going as discovered OH is on the guestlist, even though he didn't collect his tickets on Saturday. They have now sent him an e-ticket.

I'm not keen on the film but I thought we might as well go along and see how good the '4D experience' is. Another factor in my decision was finding out that they will have toilets (as well as snacks and mulled wine) as I had been worried what facilities there would be in a cemetary!
