Just before the closure of the year (and a good couple of "Index"-movies like "Commando", "Predator" and Carpenter's "The Thing" being FINALLY removed from that dreaded list), the German censors reminded us that they haven't gone "soft", neither have they started smelling the 21st century...
"Midnight Meat Train" was added to the "B-List" section of the "Index", meaning that the BPJM deem it's worthy of a prosecution as a "banned movie".
And for whatever reason "FROZEN SCREAM" JUST managed to get itself BANNED in Germany...and yes, that's the year 2010 even over there!
(Apparently that ban is the result of a flipper disc release with Paul Naschy's "Vengeance of the Zombies", so "Frozen Scream" would rather be an "accidental victim" of the BPJM....If that makes any more sense in this day and age I'll leave up to you).
The "Last House" remake finally made the "index" too, but surprisingly "only" on the "A" list, meaning that it's now prohibted from being openly(outside "18 only" video stores) advertised, rented and sold in Germany and can only be shown in cut form on tv....
