Cult Labs - Up and Coming Films

Although the Eli Roth version of 'Death Wish' was passed '18' uncut, the distributors (Vertigo Releasing Ltd) have chosen to make cuts totaling 14 seconds to a torture scene in order to obtain a '15' classification

Although this is to do with torture rather than suicide, it's the same scenario as John Wick 2 – distributors want more people watching at the cinemas and I assume cinemas are less likely to show 18 certificate films than ones with a lower certification.

Like Gag says, this has been going on for years, number of films I watched in the cinema in the mid 2000’s that came out on DVD later in “extended unseen” versions, the Hostel films being one such example

I have to admit the imagination for some of the films today is fantastic and thought provoking I just wish the quality of the movies backed up the ideas as most are just a let down.

It’s based on a really good sci-fi book by Jeff Vandermeer which takes a fair pinch of Lovecraft influence in some parts. I didn’t really like the trailer but the film is getting fantastic reviews stateside so I’m willing to give it a chance as loved the book so much.
