**A DIRECTOR has offered to pay $A12,000 to anyone who can watch his latest horror film alone in a cinema right to end - with their eyes open the whole time. **
Phoonk 2, a sequel to Bollywood director Ram Gopal Varma’s 2008 film, is about an evil spirit that traumatises a family.
The challenge involves wiring a heart monitor to the cinema-goer and a camera to ensure eyes are kept open.
An individual will be selected in an online competition to take the challenge.
“He will be attached to an (electrocardiogram) machine to monitor his heartbeat and the machine will be connected to a screen outside the hall. If his heartbeat stays normal, he will win 500,000 rupees ($A12,000),” Varma said.
