HOLTSVILLE, N.Y. -- A theater chain is apologizing to parents and children who were shocked by a movie mix-up on Long Island.
National Amusements said it's working with theater managers to make sure nothing similar happens again.
The moviegoers were expecting to see the PG rated movie "The Last Mimzy" at the Island 16 multiplex in Holtsville on Thursday. Instead, they saw the opening scene of the R-rated film "The Hills Have Eyes 2." It shows a chained, naked woman giving birth what appears to be a mutant creature.
Some 50 people -- including parents with young children -- began screaming and ran out.
The staff stopped the movie, gave free ticket vouchers to patrons who were upset, and started "The Last Mimzy" about a half-hour late.
