| Deported Women aka
|
1977 Italian film by Rino Silvestro
Rejected in 1977. A classic of Nazi filth & degradation according to one enthusiastic website. A particularly inventive scene involves a prisoner who knowing that she is going to be raped inserts a razor blade in her vagina. The commandant inevitably gets to suffer from a cleft shaft! |

database says passed uncut at 69m. Reference sources state a 90m runtime so it seems
likely that 21m were cut by the distributor Now available on Australian DVD uncut (with OFLC cuts made at the time reinstated) from Umbrella Entertainment, on a disc with its sequel Fantasm Comes Again. |

|
Fight for Your Life aka
|
1977 US film by Robert A Endelson, rejected in 1981 | Also on the video nasties list |
| Forced Entry aka
|
Either the 1975 US film by Jim Sotos (re-released in 1984) or
a 1972 US hardcore film with Harry Reems. Rejected in 1982 Review from Amazon US Forced Entry is a sexually explicit and violent film dealing with a crazed Vietnam vet and his psychopathic tendencies to rape and kill women. It is a prime example of early seventies adult and grindhouse films. The sex scenes are of the hardcore variety and according to the liner notes by the director, the rest of the film was created to allow for compliance with the then current obscenity laws of the country. Forced Entry is really nothing more than a porn film masquerading as a "socially relevant" study of a war damaged individual. The low budget roots of this film are evident as there are multiple instances of things like the microphone being clearly visible. Check out the initial gas station sequence and a much more humorous hardcore segment later on where the mic slides into the frame. The DVD print is ravaged, lines, blotches and many other imperfections throughout the whole film. This is probably the best that could be expected from this type of film but if you are looking for some sort of pristine print you will be disappointed. I would not recommend paying a premium price for this film on DVD. However, it is a film worth seeing if you are into the history of subversive film. I don't believe this disc is worth the asking price but it is worth seeing once. |

| Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS | 1974 US film by Don Edmonds Rejected in 1975 and 1976 Review from US Amazon: Brutal This film takes place in a Nazi concentration camp dedicated to pseudo medical experimentation on its prisoners. Ilsa, the commandant is portrayed in ruthless fashion by the stunning Dyanne Thorne. Thorne designs and carries out the most excruciatingly painful and torturous experiments on her helpless victims for the sheer whimsy of impressing Nazi ideology and the gratification of her own views on the endurance of the female of the species. The buxom beauty and haughtiness of the barbarous Thorne perversely fixates the viewer as she doles out tortures in nonchalant and indifferent fashion. Thorne is the essence of cruelty for cruelty's sake. Thorne is the screen's incarnation of pure evil. I can think of no other film that is as disturbing as this one. The explicit sadism portrayed in this film may or may not have actually occurred as depicted. But unthinkable sadism, torture, cruelty and debauchery did actually occur in Nazi camps. The power of this film is that it shocks the viewer. It puts the viewer in the place of the helpless victim. And the viewer does feel helpless. The viewer gets the idea of what it may have been like to be subjugated twenty-four a day to unspeakable fears and horrors. What form of corporal suffering and humiliation for the mere amusement and pleasure of these Nazi captors is next? This is an unbelievably difficult film to watch because the brutality depicted is extremely graphic. After viewing this film I was shocked and I had a feeling of just how brutal the Nazis actually were. |

| Mother's Day | 1980 US film by Charles Kaufman, rejected by
the BBFC in 1980 Horror comedy from Troma. A loving mother trains her sons to kidnap and torture innocent victims. Review from Amazon US
Wow! Words can hardly express how much I love this movie!
This is a true 80's horror classic, with a little bit of camp thrown in for
fun! I can't say enough about this under seen little gem! For it's time and
genre, the gore and killings are just fantastic. I really dig the script as
well. I say that in my opinion, the acting is absolutely fantastic (contrary
to other reviews). |

| Sweet Movie | 1974 Canadian/French/West German film by Dusan Makavejev.
Rejected in 1975. Was one of Stephen Murphy's last acts before resigning as chief censor Review from IMDb There are some films that are designed to shock, some
designed to titillate, some that delight in disgusting the view. For
Makavejev, shock, disgust and titillation are never the purpose, but a means
to a form of psycho-liberation. Makavejev in Sweet Movie hurtles us head
first into the confronting theses of Post-Freudian Wilhelm Reich. We are
forced to confront our relationship to our primal beings. He literally
smears our consciousness with faeces, vomit and carnality. See also insightful review on DVD Times |
