A screening of the latest Final Destination movie took a terrifying turn when the theatre’s roof collapsed on viewers in Argentina.
The incident occurred on May 19, when the ceiling collapsed during a showing of Final Destination: Bloodlines, at Cinema Ocho in La Plata in Buenos Aires.
The movie franchise, now in its sixth instalment, follows a group of people who narrowly escape death after surviving a mass casualty event, but are then chased down by death and face bizarre and often bloody fates.
Fiamma Villaverde, who, along with her 11-year-old daughter and a friend, narrowly escaped the jumpscare, told Argentine media: “There was a really loud noise. At first, we thought it was part of the movie because we were so absorbed, but then a huge piece fell on me.”
Villaverde added that a portion of the ceiling fell on her, striking her shoulder, back, knee and ankle. Luckily, she was able to avoid more serious injuries, telling the outlet the debris missed her head because she was leaning on the armrest.
“I asked for my ticket money back,” Villaverde said. “While I was waiting, the theatre manager came to talk to me. He asked, ‘How do you want to fix this?’ I got angry: ‘How do I want to fix this?’ I’m going to file a complaint. Just imagine if they hit my daughter in the head! They’re irresponsible!”

According to several movie attendees, the recent heavy rain is alleged to have been a factor leading to the roof collapse.
