Um, it was photosensitive epilepsy. The flashing colors did it.
I gather you’re a Twilight fan,
No actually I am not what you would call a fan. I see many movies and went to see this one..the intake of nutrients [blood] for the child was the blood in a straw but that was before the birth. The movie ends in a way to say there will be many more. Have not seen them all and probably would not read the books, as not what I choose to read but save for the screen.
