Just summing up, it really looks like the BBFC didn't learn anything they didn't already know or think for themselves. They will just use it to carry on making their decisions as to what we can or can't watch. For the press to jump on this as something new is ridiculous.

The report's last paragraph.

[This research therefore suggests that while the fundamentals of the BBFC's present policy in
relation to intervention at 18 on the grounds of sexual and sadistic violence are still key and
in line with public expectations, the policy does not currently capture all issues and
consequently may need to be reviewed to bring fully in line with public thinking. The
research suggests that the BBFC sexual and sadistic violence policy should seek to ensure
the right balancing act between key interrelating factors so as to prevent, as far as possible,
the potential harm for members of the public in repeatedly watching films with sexual and
sadistic violence.]


These films will always polarize opinion in the real world, they do on here. Some aren't bothered by them others wish to turn away. Surely horror has always been like that.
