• Abducted by the Daloids

The story centers around three sexy young disco babes who have met the mysterious Anna. As they journey through the woods they discuss the legend of The Serial Skinner not knowing that they are already being observed by a more ambitious and ruthless species of Alien: Dr. Who's The Daleks!

The DVD was renamed to Abducted by Daloids in 2005 after a fracas with the Terry Nation estate who moved swiftly to pull the plug. It was removed from sale on eBay.

The director of Terry Nation's estate, Tim Hancock, told the Sun: The reason the Daleks are still the most sinister thing in the universe is because they do not make things like porn. They weren't ever intended to be sexual creatures. It's simple, Daleks do not do porn.

Short video set in an autopsy room carries some unpleasant scenes of necrophilia. It is very unlikely to pass the censor who was even a little wary of Kissed.

Was screened at the last Eurofest.

Tagline: The sickest film ever made

From a review on Hollywood's Burning

August Underground is a new independent film from a pair of Pittsburgh filmmakers who took that one sequence from Henry and expanded it to feature-length. The filmmakers behind August Underground posit a very real scenario that a pair of completely morally bankrupt young men, who could very well live next door to any of us, get a hold of a video camera and start to tape their crimes. Through the camera-eye, we see The Big Guy rape, bludgeon, terrify, humiliate a half-dozen men and women. The Cameraman participates as far as his free hand will allow, only dropping the camera once to give his friend a hand.

What becomes even more horrifying, as the film goes along, is that, as in Henry, these crimes were not committed just for the camera. The pair had been running rough-shod over others long before the 'record' button was pressed, but the camera is heightening the reality for them. The pair are totally believable, which makes it all the more chilling. They giggle when a female victim begs for her life as they beat and humiliate her. The Big Guy wretches at the stench in his basement, coming from the rotting blood and shit of his prey, vomits as he saws off the arms and legs of one guy who'd been dead a bit too long. The camera then becomes their constant companion, even after these opening scenes of depravity.

Don't be thrown off by the movie's low-tech look, either. This is intentional. Indeed, the filmmakers had originally designed the film to be seen as a fourth-generation dub, something you might find discarded on a bus. They wanted viewers to think they'd stumbled onto a snuff film. The biggest problem they pair are going to encounter are the so-called "raincoat crowd". These are the viewers who want to live out their own misogynistic fantasies through movies, the ones that keep the sleaze-soft-core rape-n-murder people in business. It will be a while before August Underground is perceived as something other than exploitation. Once it is appreciated for the gut-wrenching a difficult movie that it is, then it will start to earn a following.

• Bloodsucking Freaks
• Incredible Torture Show
• Heritage of Caligula
• The House of the Screaming Virgins

Off Broadway show specialises in a torture show that the punters think is based on clever special effects. In fact the proprietors employ real victims.

Horror comedy that in reality employs very cheesy effects, otherwise it could have been pretty nasty.

Excerpts are included in the feminist documentary, Rate it X, which the BBFC passed uncut in the mid 80s. Director Joel M. Reed appears defending his film as a "sophisticated black comedy".

The film was denied a screening at the 2006 Edinburgh Film Festival after advice from the BBFC who stated that UK Law does not allow public performance of films with real animal cruelty staged for the film.

The film has never been submitted to the BBFC but they have commented about the film as follows: The film COCKFIGHTER, as its title would indicate, contains several scenes of cock fighting in which birds are goaded to fury in order to fight each other. These sequences are unsimulated and were expressly created for the purposes of the film. As a result, this work would be in breach of the Animals Act.

Review from US Amazon

Warren Oates plays Frank Mansfield in 1974's Cockfighter. Although outlawed in most states, cockfighting was legal in Georgia, and Oates portrays a top trainer. However, Mansfield is also a deeply flawed man whose success leads him to recklessness. On the night before a major fight, he impetuously enters a cockfight that ends badly. At that moment, he takes a vow of silence, which he will not break until he can regain his position in the sport. Throughout most of the movie, therefore, Oates is mute, with his thoughts serving as narration.

Warren Oates is truly great in this role. His weathered face and ability to portray unsympathetic characters in a likeable manner bring great authority to this film. Although perhaps best known for his appearances in Peckinpah films (The Wild Bunch, Ride the High Country), he also did extraordinary work in a number of lesser known 1970's films: Two-Lane Blacktop, Badlands, Rancho Deluxe.

Director Monte Hellman was a collaborator with legendary producer Roger Corman, and he's simply one of the most underappreciated filmmakers of the 1970s. He specialized in spare, low-key character studies, such as Two-Lane Blacktop (1971). This film is so vibrant because of his talent for using naturalistic settings and minimalist direction. His style is perfectly suited to this script, which was adapted by Charles Willeford from his novel of the same name. The book is out-of-print, but Willeford is a marvelous writer of noir and gritty fiction.

Despite being a solid character study, the film is probably of limited appeal. For the most part, the sport of cockfighting (if you consider it a sport) serves only as the background, and the characters drive the film. However, the sport is presented in an unflinching manner. The bloody and violent aspects of cockfighting are not glossed over in any way. Thus, this film is definitely not for people who are squeamish or extremely passionate about humane treatment of animals. In ways, though, the film is reminiscent of Peckinpah, who made violent deaths in The Wild Bunch seem almost operatic in their grandeur. Watching the cockfights depicted here is almost sickening, but Hellman manages to capture their bizarre magnificence as well. If you can set aside your distaste for the topic matter, then you will be treated to some great acting and directing and a truly unique cinematic experience.

• Dr Lamb
• Doctor Lam
• Go Yeung Yi Sang

One of the most popular "category III" films ever (at least in Occident). Simon Yam plays a slightly disturbed cab driver who (in order) kills, rapes and chops up some beautiful women.

Available on non-subtitled, letterboxed VCD from HK, but the version is heavily cut. I heard about a subtitled version being released but I haven't heard about censorship issues yet.

Anti-establishment black comedy/drama that received a MPAA X-rating on release.   The lack of a certificated version is  presumably due to a scene where a man has sex with a chicken, a first for a Hollywood studio production (Allied Artists, later bought out by Fox). There is also a fairly graphic abortion scene that might have caused potential censor problems in its day.

Available on video in the USA

This film was made famous by Charlie Sheen who thought it was a snuff movie and reported it to the US authorities. See Snuff Movies: an Urban Legend for a fuller story

The makers cashed in on the ensuing FBI investigation with a 'making of' documentary.

Now hit the mainstream as the region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon

And of course just to ensure that you don't thinks its real they have included the Making of Documentary

This is not horror - horror has substance, characters, and a brain. The people behind this film supposedly set out to make as shocking a film as they could, but ended up with exploited pseudo-snuff that sways between stupidly staged to pointlessly violent. While I thoroughly enjoy gory film, the gore is not the focus of this video as 3 men torture a lady for about 30 minutes (only about 10 have actual gore). We get to see these men tie her up and spin her in a chair 200 times - what fiends! But first, repeatedly slap her - I've seen more heated slapping on Jerry Springer! One cool scene - the needle in the eye (which is blatently fake and Fulci's Zombie pulled off the gag much better).

The video was informally presented to the BBFC in 2006 for an advice viewing. The BBFC suggested that a formal presentation would be a waste of time and money as the video would probably be rejected due to sexual violence.

Just not practical to even think about releasing horror films with hardcore scenes

See full article from MND

The Profit, a 2001 film, was blocked from distribution in the United States due to a court injunction won by the Church of Scientology.

Directed by former film executive Peter N. Alexander, movie critics have characterized The Profit as a parody of Scientology and of its founder L. Ron Hubbard. Alexander was a Scientologist for twenty years, and left the organization in 1997. The film was funded by Bob Minton, a former critic of Scientology who later signed an agreement with the Church of Scientology and has attempted to stop distribution of the film.

The film was released in August 2001, and was shown at a movie theater in Clearwater, Florida and at a premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in France. A Scientology spokesman gave a statement at the time saying the movie is fiction and has nothing to do with Scientology. The Church of Scientology later took legal action in an attempt to stop further distribution of the film. The Church of Scientology claimed that the film was intended to influence the jury pool in the wrongful death case of Scientologist Lisa McPherson, who died under Scientology care in Clearwater, Florida.

In April 2002, a Pinellas County, Florida judge issued a court order enjoining The Profit from worldwide distribution for an indefinite period. According to the original court injunction received by Wikinews, the movie was originally banned because the court found that it could be seen as a parody of Scientology and so influence potential jurors.

Luke Lirot, the attorney for the film's production company, announced on the film's website on April 7, 2007 that We have absolutely no exposure for any repercussions from the court order, but that the film was still blocked from distribution due to an ongoing legal battle. Lirot wrote: all that's stopping the release of the movie is the legal battle with the partner who was compromised by Scientology (Robert Minton) and is currently using his power as partner to stop the release of the film.

Perhaps the RockBitch website gives a few clues as to the reason for the ban. "This video is an insight into the life and stage performance of this unique band. It contains interviews, the monastery and the completely uncensored concert, including fist fucking, pissing, female sex acts and the Golden Condom Award".

• No Fear, No Die

Animal cruelty precludes a release of this film in the UK.

Electric Pictures did have the UK distribution rights, but apparently were advised that it would require huge cuts, so they didn't release it.

The cockfighting scenes in this film were faked (or example, the blades on legs were plastic rather than metal) and the final credits begin with a notice saying that no animals were harmed during the making of the film. However, this appears to have made no difference, as the Animals Act covers "distress" as well as actual injury.

Currently available on US video (via Amazon)

Schramm seems such a nice guy, he lives by himself where he is happy to open the door to strangers and kill them. Being a loner he has a problem with women so he drugs them, photographs their naked bodies for sexual kicks and muders them.

The film is about the incestuous murderous relationship between a mother and her daughter. It has an interesting weird style; shot in black & white, with spoof elements of noir, all wrapped up in tons of black humour and Lacanian symbolism.

It's never been put before the BBFC, unsurprisingly given the content; murder, rape, serious bondage, sexual torture, golden showers plus the daughter masturbating with a kiwi fruit!

• 1,2,3, Sun

The only recent Blier film not to get distribution in the UK. Apparently a distributor was interested but was informally advised by the BBFC not to bother. (Unconfirmed)

The contentious material is in the final scene, which features several shots of a topless Anouk Grinberg in bed with several children, two of whom have their hands resting on her breasts. Since these shots go on for some time and include a fair amount of dialogue, they couldn't be cut. It isn't a sexual scene, but nevertheless the BBFC suggested it may fall foul of the Child Protection Act (unconfirmed)
