Good day!!

I don't think you will be too surprised when you have seen the bedroom scene, Mark, to see why it had serious problems with the BBFC. The fact that the scene was submitted as a stand alone feature several years ago only made matters worse because they are looking for context, although no doubt if included as part of the film numerous cuts would still have been required. I really can't see that scene ever getting through intact over here. The lingering close ups, the explicit nudity, the woman being restrained, the use of the scissors over her body etc.

Well we know the BBFC also rejected the stand alone "Fake Porn movie" from the extras of The Howling as it was taken out of context (The sequence in the film itself is pretty explicit but it's much longer here though the footage is silent).It is pretty unpleasant when viewed separately from the film itself as the girl is also apparently raped with a broomstick.Ironically as you know Angel, the footage is intact on the Danish '15' (!) rated dvd I own.

Not necessarily recent buys but my latest film viewing has consisted of,

Fade To Black - good idea, made in the early '80s and produced by Irwin Yablans. I had high hopes for it but it turned out to be a big disappointment. Better character development would have helped somewhat but hey ho.

Sword Of Sherwood Forest - good for the proverbial rainy day/lazy Sunday morning. A mediocre film lifted largely by Peter Cushing's performance. It was watched back to back with the Leon Klimovsky movie - The Devil's Possessed - which was marketed as a horror film but in fact was more like Robin Hood. I think the Hammer effort is slightly more charming but the Klimovsky movie has a bit of violence in it.

The Loch Ness Monster Story - an interesting documentary detailing all the technology used to find what's down there. Nothing conclusive of course but entertaining nevertheless. And yes I am a believer that something is down there, whether it or even they will ever be found is anyone's guess. It's a big area afterall.

Nightwing - so-so late '70s Nature On The Rampage film about a horde of vampire bats terrorising the locals in the desert. The attacks are quite cheesy but that aside it's very talky. I think David Warner's performance maybe gave it more dignity than it deserved. A curio anyroad and worth seeing at least once because it is watchable, nothing like a classic though.

Humongous - slightly better than average early '80s slasher about a group of teenagers stranded on an island with only the bones of people and animals for company as well as a mutated wild man on the loose who wants them for dinner. It could have been better and the lighting certainly left a lot to be desired. It's not bad though, certainly has its moments.

Night Train Murders - I watched the Shameless disc and it held up well to a repeat viewing. Not a classic by any means but more entertaining than Last House On The Left. The last 10 minutes in particular are great.

Within The Woods - the movie Sam Raimi shot to get funding for The Evil Dead and dare I say it's better than The Evil Dead. Well I think so at least. Just a shame it's never been officially released, my DVD-R looks like a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy taken from a really damaged master.

Yes that scene in The Howling was quite disturbing although I have never seen Fake Porn Movie. Not surprised it was passed 15 in Denmark as there is no censorship for adults there and 15 is the highest rating. I have no doubt whatsoever that Mordum and Murder Set Pieces would also pass 15 uncut there.

It's unusual for the BBFC to reject a silent film because after all a film without sound (and over here it would mean no deafening screams) would have less impact. Still the same rules apply.

Is Humongous cut Cloudy?

Not sure what version Cloud saw but the UK Embassy tape lost over a minute.Not a fan but I would like to see it intact.

Hoi,it's good to have people like Angel on here Cloudy,she's a walking encyclopedia on censorship mate,a neccessity to forums like these mate;)

I'm sure this was touted as a Shameless title OUAT :confused:

I wouldn't mind seeing Humongous on DVD. My Bloody Valentine is now out uncut, Slaughter High is coming out soon which is brilliant news. Without doubt one of the best slashers of the '80s and typical Dick Randall fare in that it's bad but so much fun.

2009 is shaping up to be a great year for slasher movie fans!

The video was cut further than the cinema version (mostly to the opening rape/dog attack scene) though it featured a longer print.

Humongous thread here.

Cheers Vince. I knew there was one somewhere! :)

Bought MBV yet?

Last time I checked MBV was £26 on Amazon, I ain't paying that! :( but still, I've waited years for this, what's a couple more weeks?

£26? Jesus Christ!

I've just had an email from CD Wow cancelling two of my recent orders from them because they couldn't get them in stock :mad::mad::mad: BASTARDS! I am never ordering anything from the useless ***** ever again!

I've been using Movietyme for my recent imports of new releases. They're quite competitively priced (although delivery does take a couple of weeks). Plus, they test the Blu-Ray discs they sell to make sure they're region free, which is really useful. I'm currently waiting on a BD's of Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Friday the 13th Uncut.

They're doing the recent MBV DVD release for £10.99

It's difficult to separate censorship & exploitation films as so many were & still are censored to this day.Just look at how many of our beloved Shameless titles have suffered (still so in the case of NYR) at the scissors of the BBFC in the past.

Thankfully only two so far. NYR didn't surprise me at all though I thought the BBFC cuts to Venus In Furs were pretty excessive.

Recently ordered...

PAUL NASCHY COLLECTION(BEFORE IT ROCKETS IN PRICE.)
LARVA(SQUISHY KILLER BUG FLICK. YUMMY.)

Has anyone had any problems importing from CD Wow recently?

I started using them late last year & although they're not particularly fast I'm only waiting still for Executive Decision.I've ordered about 20 items since October & that's the only one outstanding (been waiting a few weeks though).I last ordered Showdown In Little Tokyo r4 & it came in about 3 weeks.Very reasonable though as I picked up Hannie Caulder (r4) for only £2.00.

OK I didnt buy it but just received an advanced copy of 'My Name Is Bruce' from my sister, she got sent it to review for the website she writes for and kindly passed it on to me, been looking forward to seeing this for ages :woot:

Yippee! You got Chopping Mall! I luv that film Tall Dude, have you seen it before?

Scum ( tin ) - for £1.50!!!!!

Night Of The Eagle is an outstanding 60s horror especially for fans of the likes of Night Of The Demon (1957).

Yeah, Night Of The Eagle is a classic.

The coastal cottage scene was filmed not far from me at Cape Cornwall (near St Just). :)

Another fan of Night Of The Eagle here. Thought Optimum's use of the original poster artwork on the uk dvd was stunning.
