The Human Centipede II - UK Release BANNED

[Neversoft]

No film, no matter what, deserves to be censored.

I'm not saying this film should be banned, no film should be

So you would both be against the censoring of a snuff film?

[-:Undertaker:-]

The problem is horror can be so much more, about creating surreal and tense environments, often beauty within a nightmare.

Yeah horror is to scare, but can do a lot more than scaring. Today's modern directors just seem to think all horror fans want is blood and guts and cut the rest out. To me its pointless, degrading and just a waste of time to watch, but that's just my opinion.

Just saw this however. A website claiming that it isn't up against the BBFC. Not sure if this is true though

I'm not saying this film should be banned, no film should be, but I think the director knew what he was doing. Horror used to be about creativity, now its simply about creating the next sickest film. Someone else is going to do something even sicker after this film, with no real script or real point, just so it can become the top of sickness, someone else after that and so on. And in the meantime what horror meant to me slowly dies.

Oh I agree to a point, for example my favourite type of horror is SCREAMesque type horror with humour and shock used as opposed to just blood and gore, but each to their own in terms of taste when it comes to movies and with a lot of other things - and with the internet, control is slipping out of their hands into ours.

Yep.

This film is very horrible like LOL. The director is crazy.

I'm referring to legit movies here. Snuff films are an urban legend anyway. No one's actually seen one.

whens the trailer even out for this film?

[peteyt]

Does anyone know if the link I posted is misinformed or is there a chance people have heard wrong and the film isn't going to be banned

The BBFC's press release confirmed that it was banned and that cuts could not do anything but tear the film apart, so it will not see any kind of release in the UK.

i completely agree with you. 'torture porn' movies or whatever it is they call it now do nothing for me, i don't find them scary, i just find them sick, boring and pointless.

Thanks glad to hear I'm not alone. I just feel maybe if Tom Six and other directors actually tried to make a decent film then they wouldn't have to worry about it being banned.

indeed. instead of trying to make films that are controversial and sickening
