Anyone think of a film that has been banned in the UK in past ten years?
Think you have to be pretty naughty to get banned nowadays

From Wikipedia:

2004-present Women in Cellblock 9 The film was rejected over sexual violence being eroticized and indecent images of an under-eighteen (in Britain, indecent images of children are illegal).
2005–present Traces of Death A Mondo film that was deemed to have "no journalistic, educational or other justifying context for the images shown".
2008-present Murder-Set-Pieces The film was submitted for release in the United Kingdom to the BBFC who refused to give the film an '18' certificate, therefore making the film illegal to supply within the UK. The BBFC stated they rejected the film because of sexual violence, and the film was potentially breaking UK obscenity laws.
2008–present The Texas Vibrator Massacre Banned due to containing a significant amount of eroticized sexual violence, and for scenes of intercourse between characters intended to be brother and sister.
2009–present NF713 A film in which a female "enemy of the state" is tortured, it was banned after its primary purpose was judged to be "to sexually arouse the viewer at the sight of a woman being sexually humiliated, tortured and abused".
2009–present Grotesque Banned due to a high level of sexual torture. Unlike other torture films like Hostel and Saw, Grotesque lacked context or any purpose behind its content.
2009–present My Daughter's a Cocksucker An incest-themed pornographic film in which men perform rough irrumatio on women, who frequently look directly into camera and deliver lines such as "Daddy always likes it when I choke" and "Am I good enough to teach the little sister?"
2010–present Lost in the Hood A sexually violent gay pornographic film about men being abducted, brutalized, and raped by other men.
2011–present The Bunny Game Banned due to extreme levels of sexual violence. The excessive endorsement and eroticisation of sexual violence deemed the film to be unacceptable for its potential for being highly harmful under the Video Recordings Act 1984.
2015-present Hate Crime Banned as it focused on "on the terrorisation, mutilation, physical and sexual abuse and murder of the members of a Jewish family by the Neo Nazi thugs who invade their home."

It hasn't even been submitted yet, plus them going off an Amazon listing is hardly a credible source.

Just dropping out of lurk mode to put in my two-penneth.

I believe that even the supposedly uncut Code Red DVD and BD releases of "Nightmare" were cut slightly, with the scene of that lad in that derelict house getting grabbed by the killer being truncated, so that you hear the scream happening off camera.

As for the new BD, I'll wait for the reviews to come in.

I wasn't even aware that Nightmares in a Damaged Brain was getting a UK Blu-ray release. Hopefully, it will be uncut.

As I understood it, the scenes in question were only ever available on some dodgy Dutch VHS. Need to listen to that commentary but I never thought CR's release was cut as it was pretty much a better quality version of a film I've seen numerous times.
