Imagine being able to watch your favorite movie for the very first time all over again.
That’s exactly what a movie theater chain in the Netherlands is trying to do. Next week, Pathé Cinemas plans to hypnotize 30 volunteers in hopes of temporarily making them forget a movie they’ve already seen. Afterward, participants will rewatch the film and, ideally, experience it with fresh eyes.
The lucky movie fans will get to choose from four fan-favorite films: The Matrix, Se7en, La La Land, and Interstellar.
It’s one of the strangest movie experiments we’ve heard of—and honestly, if it works, who wouldn’t want to experience their favorite film for the first time again?
