FULLERTON, Calif. — Two men were stabbed while watching a horror film about brainwashed killers in what appears to have been a random attack, police said.
Officers were sent to the AMC Fullerton 20 shortly before 7:30 Sunday night for a report of a bag being found containing illegal substances, police Lt. Tom Basham said.
While officers were on the scene, people started running out of the theater showing "The Signal," including two bloody men.
An unknown man had "started stabbing at the theater seat and then he stabbed the victim," Basham said. "As he fled, he stabbed another victim sitting near the exit."
One man had stab wounds in the arm and chest; the other was stabbed in the arm. Both were taken to a hospital and were expected to survive, Basham said.
In "The Signal," a transmission invades cell phones, radios and TVs, turning people into killers.

The film was paused Sunday night while police investigated the incidents. When it was restarted, Basham said, the first scene was a stabbing.
No arrests have been made in the case.
