Finally, after 35 years the progressive stalwarts at the BBFC "un-banned" (is the word I've seen used...) Mothers Day! Yay!! See, proof positive that they are so much better than they used to be.

Based on a true story, HOUSE ON THE HILL is a true crime melodrama with strong horror elements, chronicling the outrageous 1980s murder spree of serial killer Leonard Lake, who would target, kidnap, rob and kill people -- and even whole families. Sonia, the only survivor of Lake's killing spree, teams up with a private investigator to help him locate a woman who disappeared into Lake's compound. In the process, Sonia recounts the horrors of the house, where Lake and his accomplice would force her to videotape the killings.

Good for them. They're only doing it to protect us from people like MTDS and Ron.... and probably Demdike too. Especially if they own dogs.
