There have been various reports of audience members leaving the theatres within minutes of the movie starting, throwing up, or passing out, requiring medical services to be called to the venues.
This movie is not for the faint of heart, but it might even be too much for the biggest slasher fans.
The French have decided not to risk it and have imposed a ban that was last used almost 20 years ago with the release of 'Saw 3' in 2006.
In France, all under-18s have been banned from seeing the film, including those accompanied by an adult.
No one under the age of 18 is seeing this movie.
Horror films in France tend to receive a maximum ban of no under-16s, with the under-18 ban being used on the most extreme of all films.
