Derren Brown-Zombie Arcade.
 
Not sure if any of you have seen this already, but it really is quite spooky.

Be warned-the video is a little eerie, so don't watch it if you're not ok with the sort of spooky things Derren Brown can do to people.

I saw this on the actual series... to be honest I thought it was incredibly cruel, and quite disturbing.
The guy is completely terrified, I'm surprised he didn't wet himself

If that wasn't staged then I suppose it was a bit cruel but then again the guy thought he was still in a game and afterwards also thought it had been in-game.........

Yeah, it couldhave been staged.... all I know is, it made me feel really uncomfortable watching it.. to me it equated to telling someone that their family had been wiped out in a car crash, watching them react and then going 'April Fool!'

I see what you mean but in this case they would first have to be hypnotised befor being told that :disturbd:

I saw this on the series, I have to confess that I fealt more than a little uncomfortable at the thought that it might not have been staged.

Its gotta be staged if it isnt then its a very serious assault and maybe even kidnap,without consent I would say that would lead to a good dose of bird,so fake imo

I'm very dubious about most of the things that Derren Brown does on his TV shows. I do think he is very good at what he does but all we get to see are the bits that work and not those where he gets it completely wrong. Don't forget, he is an 'entertainer' but he is also very good at reading people and that really is all that it boils down to. People give of very tiny signs and he can identify and pickup on them. It also helps that he's able to find the most susceptible people to use :rolleyes: Do you really think he can send someone to sleep simply by getting them to pickup a ringing phone :erm: and that zombie thing is so fake. If it was real then the guy would have acted alot more violent in my opinion.

going into a catatonic state with flashing lights is possible,flashing lights can do a lot of things,why do you think theres warning of epilepsy at the start of some films.I do believe what he did is possible but if he did it like I said its an assault.Once the so called zombies didnt stop coming at me when I shot the "gun" and I felt that threatened I woudl have started battering them with it.I know from the training I have done in the past that some of them would have ended up seriously hurt.It was fake far to dangerous otherwise

Thats exactly what I was thinking..........there would have been broken bones and dislocated joints all over the place :D

.............Unless the effects of the hypnosis were clouding our ability to react outside the confines of the video game.........
