5 Movies Banned because of Unbelievable Reasons
Movies that represents slavery, torture and killings that are so scary can be some reasons why a certain movie is banned in a country. But there are some movies that are seemingly normal but didn't made to the cinemas, and I am about to tell you why.
Here are 5 movies that were banned because of unbelievable reasons:
CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST
This 1980 Deodato film was a succesful hit during its time earning over $200 million dollars in just 10 days of screening. However, after its 10th blockbuster day, it was pulled out of cinemas. During its screening in France, Photo magazine accused the whole crew of the film for having a "real slaughter" in the film. Probably because it somehow showed a representation of men being slaughtered. Deodato quickly stepped up in the issue by going with his actors and justifying in the jury that they were not hurt during filming. The case was soon trashed.
HUMAN CENTIPEDE 2 FULL SEQUENCE
Personally, the first Human Centipede was both shocking and disturbing at the same time. I was not expecting any kind of thriller film like that even though I love watching scary or horror flicks. Many people, including the government of some countries, were not really fond of the second film. One of the reasons why it disturbed too many people is because the first film shows the antagonist as a doctor, who obviously knew what he was doing, but the second one shows a man who just wants to make his version of a human centipede. That reason includes more like the fact of showing how teeth get pulled out or how much brutal the man does to all the preys.
THE EXORCIST
This movies is probably one of the best horror films I ever saw that made into the cinemas. Although there were many jumpy scenes which of course a horror movie should have, it doesn't blew some audience with its amazing production. One of the reasons why some government decided to pull it out of cinemas is because of one line in a scene that goes "Your mother s*cks c*ck in hell. ", which is said to be "too much" when it comes to making lines for a script.
TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE
This classic hit was actually a nice movie during its time of release in my opinion. But of course, not everybody is the same as my perspective, the film received major backslash from the audience and government. Local police ordered cinemas and theaters to stop the showing of the movie. Besides having brutal scenes that are said to be already up to standards for the audience, the title alone is already not a good thing. Having the word "chainsaw" was already concerning the government if ever they want to pull the movie out immediately.
SLENDER MAN
Based on an American belief of having a tall guy going out and stealing kids, luring them into the wood to kill them, this movie was an amazing dramatization of it. But even though the movie showed a very good plot and production, it was pulled out in the cinemas after a filed case for the film. The reason is that the Slender Man movie portrayed a sort of real life event that took place and the family of the person didn't really liked it.
Which one of these films is up to your liking?
