Banned In Britain

[Ke1t]

Should this film be banned? Should any film be banned?

 

Here's the plot, which sounds like a night in Cheespipes house, but still... From Wiki;

 

A young couple Aki and Kazuo (Tsugumi Nagasawa and Hiroaki Kawatsure) are snatched off the street while having their first date as a romantic couple after a few years working in the same office, and wake up shackled in a basement, which has all its walls covered with plastic. With no further explanation, a sadistic madman (Shigeo Ōsako) degrades, tortures and mutilates them.

 

Initially, he punctures Kazuo's belly with a screwdriver and slices his tongue, then rapes both, one at a time, forcing the other to watch. Sometimes he stops the torture to provide medical assistance and cure the couple's wounds, so they can continue alive for a long period of time. This way he cuts off all their fingers, makes collars with them, pops out Kazuo's right eye, removes the girl's nipples and cuts off her right arm.

 

As the torture progresses, it is revealed he is simply doing it for sexual stimulation, and tells the couple he wants the two to survive. He finally castrates Kazuo, claiming he has found all the sexual relief he needs, so no longer needs the couple's "services". Then the couple is moved to a room which resembles a modern and clean hospital room, where the kidnapper takes care of the couple's wounds.

 

While it is never explicitly mentioned on the movie, it becomes gradually apparent that the man has professional medical training, refined manners, taste for classical music and good wines and dressed with expensive clothes when he is not in surgeon dress torturing the couple. At some point he even mentions he is a wealthy man, which suggests he may be a reputable surgeon, not merely a violent sadist, looking for an extreme and different way to obtain satisfaction on his lonely life; however, the couple also notes the doctor has a particular rotting smell always present behind his clean and elegant appearance.

 

After several days healing, the "doctor" simply tells the couple they will be free to go, he will turn himself to authorities and, as apology for all the suffering he inflicted to the couple, he will give them all his fortune which seems to be very large, as compensation. After all the horror, in a moment alone in the hospital room, Aki and Kazuo promises to support each other once they leave the place and become a formal couple. − − It is unclear if the madman changed his mind, or if playing with the couple's hopes to survive and being released soon was part of his mischievous plan from the beginning, but immediately after communicating to them they will be released, the next scene takes back the couple to the scary basement. After being drugged, they are shackled again, exactly as they were the first time.

 

The "doctor" announces they must participate in one final test of love strength. He pulls out an extreme of Kazuo's intestines and attaches them to a hook. If Kazuo is able to cross the room to the other side (pulling off his entire intestines out of his body in the process), take a scissors and cut Aki's ropes to release her, both will be finally free. However, Kazuo fails due to blood loss and falls to the ground, agonizing (it is also revealed that the ropes restraining Aki have a metal wire running through them, rendering them impossible to cut with scissors; the task was therefore impossible).

 

Aki begins to insult the doctor, telling him he is just the son of a whore that nobody cares about, and insists despite his refined manners and expensive clothes, he has an unusual and unbearable skunk odor, no matter how hard the tries to cover the stench. Angered, the doctor cuts off Aki's head in response and as her head falls down, it lands on the man's neck and bites him with her final breath. Kazuo on the floor, not dead yet, stabs him in the foot with the scissors as a supreme last action. The couple then dies facing each other.

 

In the epilogue of the film, the madman is revealed to have survived what happened to him in the basement, although he cannot walk properly. He is in a quiet forest where he respectfully buries the couple next to each other in a traditional Japanese way, leaving the scissors on their tombs as a symbol. The next scene shows him back in the same car he used to kidnap the couple, covering himself with lots of perfume to hide his skunk stench while a girl is walking by, and the screen cuts to black as he goes after his next victim

 

 

 

Now given that this movie sounds like it has no artistic merit, and is more or less just one long fake snuff flick... should it be banned?

 

It currently is banned, so watching it would presumably be an offence of some sort.

[tutankamun]

Not sure if just watching it would be the offence.

 

Selling a copy of the DVD or playing it in public might be the offence.

 

Edit: sounds good, I'd give it a watch.

[muttondressedaslamb]

Nope, let me make a rational choice about whether I watch it or not.

[centraldon]

Your just making that shit up. Mind you, it is the japs. Anything is possible. I wouldn't ban anything. Id find out where the bird gets ger tits out, watch that for 5 secs then switch off.

What I find weird is that there's an unrated version. Seriously?

I think the point there is the film is too gory to receive a rating. Ie. it would need to be significantly edited to get any rating.

[Bobby Connor]

That film sounds fucked up. Maybe it's banned because it's shite? Have you watched it Kelt? It sounds seriously fucked up.

Snuff movies? Child pornography?

 

Surely there has to be some limit?

There's always one! Ok. I'd ban that. And the Huns 9 in a row video. And romance films. And anything with Jim Carey (except dumb and dumber, obviously).

[muttondressedaslamb]

A Serbian film sounds much worse than that.

I'm with you though CD, I wouldn't ban anything either. Adding the caveat 'as long as a crime wasn't commited during the filming'.

I know someone who fancies themselves as a film buff and they were telling us about this film at the pub. Sounded fucked up beyond belief.

[muttondressedaslamb]

Milo (Sran Todorovi) is a semi-retired Serbian porn star with a beautiful wife, Marija (Jelena Gavrilovi), and young son, Petar. Although he is strapped financially and his home life is happy, his biggest problem comes in the form of the jealousies of his brother, Marko (Slobodan Beti), a corrupt police officer who envies Milo' family life.Seeking one last big payday to make a clean break from pornography and secure his family's financial future, Milo is intrigued when one of his former co-stars, Lejla (Katarina uti), approaches him with an offer to star in an "art film" being directed by Vukmir (Sergej Trifunovi), a well-connected, independently wealthy pornographer who wants to cast Milo for his legendary ability to get and maintain an erection with no visual or physical stimuli. When Vukmir offers Milo a large sum of money to star in the film, Milo reluctantly agrees, ambivalent towards Vukmir's insistence that he must remain ignorant as to the plot of the film until shooting begins. As Milos jogs to get himself back in shape for filming, Marko visits Milos' home. He talks suggestively to Marija in the kitchen while Petar eats ice cream. Marko says that he misses female company, then goes to the bathroom, clearly frustrated, and masturbates into the basin. At the next meeting with Vukmir, Milos passes an older bald headed man with two large security guards, and regards them warily. Milo is picked up the next morning and taken to an orphanage where he is supplied an earpiece by Vukmir's driver, Raa (Miodrag Krmarik). A voice speaks to him from the earpiece, giving him instructions. A film crew follows him around with cameras and puts him in various sexual situations to see how he will react. Milo is fellated by a female in a dark room, while two televisions show independently: a teenage girl eating an ice lolly, and the same girl putting make-up on. After this Milo phones Marko to check into police files on Vukmir. During this conversation Marko is also fellated by a female while watching Milo' home movies, and then one of Milo' previous porn films. Milo is then led into a room and instructed to have sex with a physically abused woman while a young girl dressed like Alice from Alice in Wonderland watches. Milo becomes enraged and refuses to continue, but is grabbed from behind. The adult woman threatens Milo by biting on his erection, forcing him to carry on with the 'scene'. Milo meets with Marko to find out what is in the police files on Vukmir: He has been a psychologist, a children's TV producer, and has worked for state security. Marko's opinion in that Vukmir is a well educated man. Later, Vukmir shows Milo another one of his projects: a film of Raa helping a woman give birth to a baby girl; Raa then proceeds to rape the newborn in what the director calls "newborn porn". Milo storms out to his car and drives away. At a road junction, he is approached by Vukmir's doctor, an attractive woman, who begins to seduce him. Milo suddenly wakes up in his bed three days later, bloodied and beaten and with no memory of what has happened. He returns to the set and finds a number of tapes. Viewing them, Milo discovers that over the course of the previous three days, he was fed a mixture of drugs to induce a perpetually aggressive, sexually aroused, and suggestible state. Under the influence of the drugs, and at Vukmir's insistence, Milo brutally beats and rapes a nude woman handcuffed to a bed while Vukmir tells Milo that she deserves it for cheating on her husband, a Serbian war hero. In the climax of this scene, Milo is instructed to beat the woman, and eventually handed a machete with which he chops her head off in order to induce rigor mortis as he continues to have sex with her body. Another tape contains a scene in which Milo is naked and chained to a bed face down. Two men enter the room, one holding a camera. The one without the camera begins sodomizing the unconscious Milo. The final tape depicts Lejla chained and hanging in the middle of the room, all of her teeth having been removed; a masked man enters the room, forces his erect penis down her throat and pinches her nose until she suffocates. Milo follows clues from the tapes he has seen only to remember more horrific details about the three days he cannot remember. Milo was taken into a room and made to sodomize a body hidden under covers. The masked man enters and begins to have sex with another body beside the one Milo is raping. The masked man is revealed to be Milo' brother Marko, and the body he is raping is a drugged Marija. The covers are taken off of the body Milo is raping to reveal his own son, also drugged and bleeding profusely from his rectum. A melee ensues during which Marija regains consciousness and Milo manages to wrest a gun from one of Vukmir's bodyguards. Marija bludgeons Marko to death with a sculpture, while Milo beats Vukmir's head against the concrete floor and manages to shoot all but one of his bodyguards, with one surviving two shots to the chest. As he is dying, Vukmir praises Milo' actions, saying "that's cinema." Confronting the final bodyguard, Raa, who was previously the driver throughout the film, Milo knocks off his sunglasses and discovers that Raa is missing an eye. He tries to shoot him but finds out that the gun is empty. Milo jams his erect penis into Raa's empty eye socket, killing him. He then knocks his wife unconscious and takes her and their son home, locking them in the basement before passing out. After remembering everything, Milo contemplates suicide, but his wife stops him with a mutual understanding that he, his wife, and his child, should all commit suicide together. Milo then gathers his family in his bed, embracing, and using a pistol, fires a fatal shot through him, Petar, and Marija. Sometime later, another director enters, who is the bald headed man from earlier at Vukmirs house, accompanied by another porn star and a crew. The director instructs one of the actors to "start with the little one."

Much worse.

Haven't watched it, but I was trawling for banned stuff to download, so I reckon I'll have a lookee for it.

[K-9]

Currently not downloading from PIrate Bay!!

Which rules out the Huns 9 in a row! The dodgiest one I've seen (and only seen bits of it) was an Italian movie where a group of teens are rounded up abused. The bits I saw were mental, and it was quite an old film.

MDAL, could you please reply without the million HTML tags?

You wouldn't ban Dumb and Dumber!?

 

Dumb and dumbers in my top three movies of all time!!!

So long as you're not downloading it then good work.

[Bobby Connor]

I can believe that.

[K-9]

So long as you're not downloading it then good work.

Not getting 700kbs either - if i was would only take 20 mins tops though. But not

[Ke1t]

Much worse.

 

Well it wasn't really a competition, but the worst I've ever seen was Schramm, and not the 1993/4 arthouse movie by the same name.

 

The Schramm in question involves a chick at her boyfriend's grave, digging up his corpse. She takes it back to her apartment and the rest of the movie involves her fucking the corpse until it's too rotten to fuck any more.. then stalking men in nightclubs, taking them home, killing them, cutting their heads off and using their bodies.. fitted beneath the decomposed head of her now decapitated boyfriend.,. and fucking them instead... obviously this leaves her with lots of corpses to dismember.... so when she's not graphically banging corpses, she's dismembering them in her bathroom.

 

Now while all that is disturbing enough, it should be pointed out that this was a seriously low budget underground movie. In contrast the special effects looked veryrealistic. By which I mean the decomposing, oozing corpses. The rumor being that they were actually using corpses

 

Good family entertainment, like.

[ScottishJohn]

August Underground IS worse.

 

I don't think any MOVIES (not inc porn) should be banned. Banning them just makes them more popular as you could just buy it from another country anyway.

[a don in oz]

Much worse.

 

Jesus... you're not kidding.

 

 

 

[tup]

I've not watched a 'movie' of any sort for maybe 10 years at least.

 

I canna see myself making a beeline for blockbuster to get 'Grotesque' out, much as Kelt has depicted it in great detail there, and fascinating as it sounds.

 

I sense Kelt is keen on this ban being overturned however.

[Bluto10]

Your just making that shit up. Mind you, it is the japs. Anything is possible. I wouldn't ban anything. Id find out where the bird gets ger tits out, watch that for 5 secs then switch off.

 

beware the yellow peril and never trust anything you can blindfold with dental floss.

 

e.g. issey sagawa. he killed and ate a dutch student in paris. got off on technicality (being mental obviously) and shipped back to nippon where he subsequently enjoys a free and easy life as a celebrity.

[360]

Don't mind the odd controversial horror film, but stuff like Grotesque and August Underground just don't appeal to me.

 

Seen "A Serbian Film" though, but it was shit.

[Bluto10]

whats wrong with good old classics like straw dogs and the witchfinder general?

 

proper scary films that arent scary at all.
