Im looking for some banned horror movies, I've been trying to get ahold of a VHS copy of Cannibal Ferox and Cannibal Holocaust for some time now, but if anybody knows of any banned horror films list them and if possible say where there banned..

Wolfie
Isn't Cannibal Holocaust getting a DVD release?

WindDancer
Yes, but no recent news yet. I'm been keeping track of Grindhouse but no latest news for now.

none of these previously banned films have been banned in the uk since about 1999, its ludicrous that it took so long for them to be released as most are very tame.

You can get Cannibal Holocaust and all the vipco titles in the uk and from the vipco website, although they have no extras

Freaks or some title like that, featuring a cast of real live freaks was composed in the thirties and banned in the UK for a time.

Straw Dogs was made in 1971 and banned, though I found it quite boring.

A Clockwork Orange was also banned for a time cool

And Childs Play Three was unpopular enough in the UK for a time to count as banned.

SithSpy
lmao @ childs play 3, is cannibal holocaust banned in the US? wouldnt think so but havent seen it, and have heard so much about it since being on these boards im dyin to see it

MildPossession
Childs Play 3 was never banned here in the UK. If that's what you meant by 'count' as banned...

Anyway, Freaks is avaliable in all its glory on dvd here now in the UK, been out on vhs for ages though. It's still banned in some countries though.

BackFire
Guinea Pig series was banned in America for some time, because it was believed that one of them was an actual snuff film.

Cannibal Holocaust is still banned in some parts of the world, I believe.

Titicut Follies was banned in America for a few decades because of the horrible way it made the psychiatric industry look.

Last House on the Left was banned in numerous countries as well.

BREN
the cannibal holocaust that is released in the uk is censored.obviously u r from the uk Jason_Krueger?
and what u are asking about are the banned (video nasties) i presume?
ok well most of the original list of the 81 horror movies that were banned!,a clockwork orange was never really banned also neither was childs play (clockwork didnt get a relaese cos kubrick wouldnt let warner release it,came out after he died,childs play was pulled by warner,first movie,and cic the others ,after the jamie bulger case and the bad press childs play 3 got)straw dogs was never officially a banned video nasty,the bbfc refused to grant it a video certificate alltho it could still be shown in cinemas,the only version that was released in the uk at that time on the guild home video label was the cut usa r rated version
this the shape of some of the now re released movies off the original nastys list just so u guys know they dont rerelease all of em uncut like we are led to beleive !sad

weaponmaster

MildPossession

beta-wolf_101
I didn't realize they had banned some many.......and what in the world does bollocks mean?

Evil Dead
bollocks is the all-purpose English quasi-curse. It's used to take place of just about any curse....

romper_stomper
i am from australia which has had as many banned movies as the uk
i only just got dvd copies of last house on the left,zombie flesheaters and driller killer all of which were banned for ages here,,also if u are having trouble getting ahold of banned movies why not download them of the net it dont always work though i am still trying to download cannibal holocaust have been trying for months

thingf1sh
It is possible to download both holocaust & ferox in full uncut glory as I did, do not buy these uk versions of these films if you want the uncut versions. Holocaust in particular has been cut in a very shoddy way even the soundtrack jumps with the cuts

Salo: The 120 Days of Sodom was banned for a long time in Australia.

Audition

cropsy_is_god
If you live in the U.K don't buy any cannibal films from the shops. Their only the cut version of the film. Go to ebay and get them uncut from Holland their much better quality than the U.K versions. If your looking for banned stuff try getting August Undergrounds mordum & Penance.

Here's a site about the Video Nasties it keeps up to date with what ones are cut or uncut in the U.K

REALLY!??

Seems to me you simply copy and pasted those lists, MY work from my site, (since updated) word for word!

Worse though you copied my work but left no link to the site, or even acknowledgment of where you REALLY got your information from!

Walking encyclopedia? You can't even spell it. And in fact you're a walking bullshitter anyway!

Damn site won't let me post links. Find the entire list Bren posted and more at Beardyfreak dot com


Plagiarism. Such a dirty word.

I don't even think those guys are here anymore...

Hahaha! I saw that movie as a wee kid and have always wanted to watch it again, but I cannot find a copy. I don't remember it being anything worth a bann... but now that I know it was banned, I wanna see it again even more. I remember it was pretty cheesey and laughable, typical "psycho offing horny teens in the woods" type movie (if i recall correctly).

What ??

those two are banned in Australia thats news to me.

MildPossession
It's some advertising bot, just ban him instead.

princehole
I saw it, and I was scared beyond recognition! The music, the low budget camera, the camera work! Everything. It had everything!It was scary, it was dark, the music was scary, it was made during the golden age of horror with a low budget and no huge stars in it - everything I look for in a horror movie.It still is my favourite - no doubt about it. I can't imagine any movie being better than Raimi's masterpiece, I definitely can't.

Freaks or some title similar to that, featuring a cast of real live freaks was composed in the thirties and banned in the UK for a time.
Straw Dogs was made in 1971 and banned.
A Clockwork Orange was also banned for some time.
Childs Play 3 was unpopular enough in the UK for a time to count as banned.

the ninjak
Not much banned horror anymore with the internet.
Australia and the UK used to be the Bastions of banning back in the 80's but now......If it sells it gets a release.
Irreversible was controversial on its release here and Magda Szubanski of our Movie Show fame fought for its release and so it did get a cinema release.

Only snuff films get banned now not because of content but because of mass marketing to sell to audiences.

MildPossession
You do know what a snuff film is right... plus ILLEGAL so it's obviously going to get banned if they ever got their hands on one. I don't believe a snuff film has ever surfaced.

Not including actual documentary footage of real death/violence here.

coolmovies
I think this is the best example of banned horror movies

I have just seen the movie "The 120 Days of Sodom". It was banned for a long time. Well, This is very nice movie and scary also. The story of this movie gives you a great thinkness about it.
