LA PLATA, ARGENTINA – In a bizarre turn of events described as “life imitating art” and “scarily meta”, a real-life accident occurred during a screening of the horror film Final Destination Bloodlines in La Plata, Argentina. On May 19th, a section of the ceiling collapsed at Cinema 8.
Audience member Fiamma Villaverde, 29, was injured in the incident. Villaverde, who was at the cinema with her daughter and a friend for her birthday, reported hearing a “really loud noise”. She initially believed the sound was “part of the movie”, as she was “so engrossed” in the film’s “violent and thunderous final act”.
However, it was a real-life collapse, with pieces of the ceiling falling. Rubble struck Villaverde on the shoulder, back, knee, and ankle, causing blunt force trauma and bruises. She was treated by paramedics and went to the hospital, stating that she was fortunate she had been leaning over, preventing a more serious head injury.
