Supreme Cmdr Posted June 13, 2005 Report Posted June 13, 2005 I didn't see it and I don't plan to. I'm glad it flopped at the box office. This should (I hope) teach Hollywood that you can make an R rated movie without going over the top. I hear that the upcoming Land Of The Dead (which I don't plan on seeing either) is quite possibly the goriest movie ever made. Topping even Sin City which took the crown over from Saving Private Ryan.
Scrivener Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 Releasing High Tension here (in the US) was a mistake. Worse, they edited the living crap out of it (to make an R rating) - and dubbed about 25% of the film, in random parts, poorly. I'm perfectly happy with my original region 2 Switchblade Romance DVD. I also hope this teaches Hollywood a lesson (albeit a slightly different one) - don't screw around with our movies. We don't need - or want you to play our overbearing religious tv-hating grandparents. As for Land of the Dead - I've never really liked zombie movies. Even when it's gory they're all still just... zombies. Slow, lumbering, corpses. Not scary or terribly interesting. I've also sort of learned to ignore the "goriest movie ever" hype. It's always rubbish - the MPAA wouldn't let a movie like that slide with a *mere* R rating! They are sure to threaten you with the dreaded rubber stamp of NC17 doom. Zombies or no, R ratings don't allow for hardly any graphic violence these days. If there ever was a lot of gore in LOTD, you will only be able to see it on the uncensored unrated DVD. I'll wait till then. I'm not interested in watered down, sanitized, cockamamy horror films.
Kevin Trotter Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 Besides Dead Alive is the goriest movie ever.
Guest Grayfox Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 ive seen that one, and yes... pretty damn bad

That film had NC17 written all over it. quote:Originally posted by Grayfox: ive seen that one, and yes... pretty damn bad Which?
Scrivener Posted June 25, 2005 Report Posted June 25, 2005 I was terribly dissapointed with Sin City's violence. The comic was way worse and some scenes I really really really wanted to see werent in there. It was a pretty hard R but I wouldn't say it was quite NC17/Unrated material. I await the unrated Sin City DVD with bated breath
