“Paranormal Activity” just hit theaters in Italy and according to the ANSA news agency, there were “panic attacks lasting more than half an hour. The more serious case is that of a 14-year-old girl who was brought to the hospital in a state of paralysis.”
Alessandra Mussolini, granddaughter of the Italian fascist dictator and head of a parliamentary committee on children, said “Paranormal Activity” had “highly distressing content” and was causing “panic attacks and psychological problems among youths.”
“I don’t think we can ban ‘Paranormal Activity’ now, but surely we need to study how to warn parents of the risks their children are incurring,” Mussolini said.
The Italian parents’ association noted that admission to the movie is restricted in the United States, Britain, Germany and The Netherlands and asked for an age limit of 18 in Italy.
