The BBFC commented:
- Cut required to a sequence of sadistic and sexualised violence involving a child.
The BBFC further commented in the Annual Report covering 2014: The Spanish Chainsaw Massacre is a Spanish film in which a heavy metal band find themselves in a village of cannibals after their van breaks down. The BBFC
removed a sequence of sadistic and sexualised violence involving a child before passing the film 18. The film also includes scenes of characters being torn open and having their intestines pulled out, a penis being bitten and torn
off, and a foetus being pulled from a woman's body.
Thanks to Mike who adds: The US DVD contains the full version, and I can confirm that the cut is to a scene fairly early on in which a woman with
breasts exposed is chased through woodland by a local and is then beaten repeatedly over the head with a rock while a girl (child) is watching a few feet away. Frankly the BBC made it sound much worse than it is. It's only
sexualised in that the victim's shirt is open, and the sadism is due to the number of blows to the head. The gore effects are pretty poor anyway. Nothing sadistic is done to the child, and and nothing sexualised happens to her either. She just stands
there watching. It's actually quite a notable BBFC decision in that they very rarely cut scenes in which a child actor is exposed to violence on the set. But that's what happened here.

Slumber Party Massacre II is a 1987 US comedy horror by Deborah Brock.
With Crystal Bernard, Jennifer Rhodes and Kimberly McArthur.
Banned by the BBFC in 1988 after an extensive cuts list was refused. The film remained unreleased until 2024 when it was 15 rated and uncut. In the US it exists in a Theatrical R rated version, and an Extended Version which is MPAA
Unrated Summary Review: Amusing Enough More of a comic vein than its predecessor and now in a musical setting. The weapon of choice is an electric guitar cum electric drill.
The death scenes are very twisted with the killer playing guitar and singing as he kills his victims. A favourite scene of mine involves death by acne. One of the central characters is actually engulfed by a rapid
growing zit, until it pops all over the protagonist and she is presumed dead - that is until she walks through the front door about 10 minutes later. The over-the-topness seems to be amusing enough. For bad movie fans, that
is.

|  | UK: Presumably it was the Extended Version that was banned by the BBFC for:
From IMDB. The BBFC offered an extensive cuts list which was not acceptable to the distributor, and so the video was banned. The BBFC commented in the Annual Report covering 1988:
Scenes of terrorising, blood-letting and gleeful infliction of pain underlined an unacceptable tone of sadism in a work purporting to be a satirical horror fantasy but developing a pervasive undercurrent of mutilation as fun.
Shown on the Horror Channel in 2006 |

Reality Killers is a 2005 Italy Horror Film by Alessandro Capone
Banned by the BBFC for 2024 video. Versions
banned
| | UK: Banned by BBFC
- 2024 Treasured Films video (rated 01/07/24)
The BBFC commented: Reality Killers is a horror film in which a man obsessed with violent snuff videos, featuring people being abused, tortured and killed, goes on to commit his own similar crimes.
Reality Killers consists of a series of short vignettes in which people, including women and children, are killed. In some cases, acts of sadistic violence follow or involve sexual behaviour and nudity. The protagonist acts as a
narrator, relishing in the violence and endorsing the actions of the killers. Women, in particular, are portrayed as either sexual objects to be abused or as predatory killers themselves. Potentially harmful attitudes, such as the suggestion that victims
and perpetrators enjoy violence, and that women are presented primarily as sex objects or predatory killers, are not clearly challenged, nor is there a narrative counterbalance to the sustained focus on sadism. As a last resort,
the BBFC may find content unsuitable for classification, in line with the objective of preventing non-trivial harm risks to potential viewers and, through their behaviour, to society. In our Classification Guidelines we state that this may occur where a
central concept is unacceptable, such as a sustained focus on rape, other non-consensual sexually violent behaviour or sadistic violence. The guidelines also state that we consider whether the availability of the material to the age group concerned would
run contrary to broad public opinion. The BBFC considered whether the film's issues could be adequately addressed through intervention such as cuts. As Reality Killers consists almost entirely of scenes of sadistic violence and
abuse, we determined that cuts would not effectively address these issues. The film, when taken as a whole, transgresses BBFC Classification Guidelines and policy, and we believe that its classification even at 18 would run contrary to broad public
opinion. The BBFC therefore found Reality Killers to be unsuitable for classification.

A cult film that was notably unreleased in the UK for many years except on the

Summary Review
With a killer gorilla on the loose, a group of strangers find themselves stranded at a remote mansion of a grieving madwoman one dark and stormy night. They indulge in swapping bizarre personal backstories - and bodily fluids.
Imagine yourself a typical low-budget horror opening, in which random people gather around an old dark mansion during a nightly thunderstorm. They're all slightly eccentric characters with unusual backgrounds and/or odd
personalities and, naturally, the female owner of the mansion is the queen of all madness. Her guests soon begin to physically experiment with themselves and each other and these sexual outbursts become gradually odder.
Masturbation and ordinary hetero-sex at first, but before you properly realize it; you're up to your neck in gay sex, voyeurism, sex with peculiar attributes and even bestiality. This movie is available in two versions,
but I can safely say already that even the cut Theatrical Version (120 minutes instead of 150) is more than weird enough for every avid fan of offbeat cinema on this planet. Versions
