An appeal is always possible though I personally wouldn't recommend it. At the very most the film would then be passed with very heavy cuts indeed, making the UK DVD pretty pointless. |

It will be interesting to see if the film really wasn't cuttable as the BBFC claim. The distributor would be wasting their time appealing. As the BBFC have said if the cuts are going be very extensive then issuing a certificate would be pointless. It would be interesting to see how the film could be cut for an R because unlike the BBFC, the MPAA don't reject films (20m cut from the R rated Murder Set Pieces). |

Agreed, not only that, you're cutting half of the movie out as well! Leads me to wonder if this will be a new entry in the notorious video nasties list.

Having watched "Grotesque",it's no great loss to the UK horror scene that it's been banned.It's slightly boring and has a comedy ending which undercuts the relentless scenes of torture that make up the bulk of the film.As to the film being banned due to the killer/torturer gaining sexual pleasure from the pain he inflicts,you'd never know as he's stoney faced through out and looks like he's having a right old belly ache of a time.It's only when he tells his victims that their struggles turn him on that you know he's a bit of a perv.Even in the scenes of sexual assault his face remains a mask.Still, I guess it is a slight improvement over all the gurning that passes for acting in a lot of underground torture/horror films.

The actual list - No, as it's set in stone circa 1984. The Wikipedia Video Nasties List - Yes, as anyone with a keyboard and a fascination with horror seems to add any movie that has had any mild controversy associated with it (along with Howard The Duck) |

So the BBFC are still in the business of banning films. Seems the 'censor' tag still applies. I haven't seen it yet myself, so I can't pass comment. However, I personally think that its banning will only increase its notoriety and hence desirability. Probably many people who would naver have even heard of it, let alone bothered to see it, will now try and see it. Censorship always seems to have the opposite of the desired effect!

They could have passed it if they felt it was worth doing so but with the cuts having to be so extensive it would have been pointless. Indeed people would have said with cuts like that they may as well have banned it.
