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. :nod:
But no... Not really. :eek: for although it took longer than some of you have lived for to "un-ban" a horror comedy, they are still hacking an' slashing away at fantasy films. To wit; (Melonfarmers ref.)

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.
7 minutes....:thankingyou: 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.
On another topic Channel 4 put out a longer version of the new Evil Dead movie.
