Gutterballs is another dire effort.

That's the problem about these films - they are always so awful.

I haven't seen the cut version of Scrapbook so I don't know exactly what was left in to still warrant an 18. When the BBFC consider rejecting a film it usually means that there is virtually nothing that they are prepared to pass. There must have been a fair bit left in this particular film despite the heavy cuts. In any case if the BBFC remove a huge amount then it would also be up to the distributor to decide whether the film is worth releasing...but they always do in the end. I suspect hoping that not too many people are aware of the cuts.

Apart from watching the uncut House on the Edge of the Park I also watched the cut by nearly 12m UK version just to see what they left in. Well almost all the heavy violence has been cut but there are still nasty moments here and there as well as the strong sexual threat of violence/terrorisation directed at the women that seem to make a release worthwhile...although obviously not if you are a big fan of the film.
