Cannes film festival attendees were stunned as a member of the audience was carried out of a premiere on a stretcher last night.
Crowds had turned out to see the debut screening of Alpha, the latest 'body horror' thriller by award-winning Titane director, Julia Ducournau.
With Ducournau in the audience, the film was briefly interrupted about an hour into its runtime to attend to an undisclosed medical emergency.
Attendees on the balcony were seen waving their phone torches in the darkness as they noticed something was wrong.
Some audience members called out for a doctor and asked for the screening to be paused, Variety reports.
