A Serbian Film
2010 / Thriller, Horror / Serbia
The fact that Spanish people adore and enjoy horror movies, as well as any “tough guy,” is well known. Even Spanish comedies can have shocking moments, and Spanish thrillers and horror movies are particularly beloved by cinephiles worldwide due to their innovative naturalism. But for some reason, the Spanish audience was not enthusiastic about the Serbian movie. They quickly outlawed it. in 46 nations. However, a theatre in Spain made the decision to screen this movie. The sessions were only three days long. The movie was cut by 19 minutes and yet released in the US after being met halfway. Not particularly harsh acts, but unpleasant sequences involving children are the main drivers behind the prohibition.
Cannibal Holocaust
1979 / Drama, Horror, Adventure / Italy
Thankfully, Russia has never been one of the top 10 nations to outlaw this movie. The burgeoning genre of discovered footage used to create horror films was not recognised by the Italians or the Icelanders. In any country where it is available for online viewing, people may regard this movie as a textbook. But everything works out in the end. It is one of the banned horror movies.
Irreversible
2002 / Drama, Crime, Mystery / France
Unexpectedly, New Zealand decided to prohibit this movie. It was permitted for film distribution, though not right away. However, if parents felt that their children would be able to watch the longest rape scene in movie history, they were free to bring them. Since the rapist’s penis was “painted on” with a computer in order to restrict the teens, it was prohibited from being sold as a video. Noe himself has acknowledged this publicly more than time. Therefore, it’s either with the parents or not at all.
Faces of Death
1978/ Horror, Documentary / USA
This iconic Mondo film has been outlawed in New Zealand, Australia, the UK, Norway, and Finland. Even individuals who don’t typically watch documentaries paid notice to this image and started searching for it on video because this rarely happens in documentaries. The movie gained cult status in the USSR, as every respectable youngster watched it in video arcades. Not just once either.
Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom
1975 / Thriller, War film, Drama / Italy, France
One of the most outlawed movies in history, Pasolini’s anti-fascist masterwork was in high demand by censors everywhere. This film was outlawed in the UK, New Zealand, Australia, a number of Middle Eastern nations, and several US states. Not everywhere was under the ban. I must admit that the movie surprised the actors as much as it stunned the audience. For instance, the actors began vomiting in the scene where they were meant to eat vomit for supper, even though they were aware that the plates contained ordinary chocolate.
