Thousands have been left ‘completely freaked out’ after a woman posted a photo of a suitcase sitting by a table at the airport.
The small hard-shelled black case had been left for a moment by its owner.
But the stand-alone suitcase wasn’t the only ‘scary’ thing about the bag.
It also had a little red ribbon. And it looked just like the suitcase bomb from the new Netflix drama ‘Carry-On’.
The timing of the lone-luggage only added to the hysteria.
The movie is set on Christmas Eve and was released on December 13.
The luggage was pictured on December 18, with many agreeing it felt ‘too real’.
In the movie a young airline security guard is blackmailed by a mysterious passenger who threatens to smuggle a dangerous package onto a plane.
The woman’s post which was captioned: ‘In the airport and I see this. I can’t make this up. If you know, you know’.
It had attracted 7,000 likes and 1600 comments at time of writing.
‘I watched this movie three days ago, definitely going to head out,’ one woman said.
‘Watched this last night – scrolled past and immediately scrolled back up again because PTSD,’ added another.
‘See something say something or post something.… if you’re reading this its too late for those at the airport,’ added another.
But some were less afraid.
‘We low-key all learned how to disarm it,’ said another.
And others were having none of it.
‘People use ribbon all the time to distinguish their luggage from everyone else, be real,’ one woman said.
‘Someone did this on purpose to scare people,’ another said.
The rest were confused.
‘Can someone explain this,’ one asked.
‘I have no idea what movie this is,’ said another.
‘Why is this blowing up? I don’t get it,’ a third cried.
The movie, which stars Taron Egerton, has an 86 per cent approval rating on Rotten tomatoes.
Some are describing it as the new ‘lethal weapon’, an alternative, dark Christmas movie.
