why was film banned


just wondering why this film was on the list of vide nasties.

Was it because of the bad acting the poor script and the stupid ending. This film was no worse then other horror flicks that came out at the same time??

Honestly it was likely the pitchfork a scene and the kissing a decapitated head. Which was likly too bizarre, off and gross for their liking.

Man, you're a riot.

Seriously though, if you thought this had bad acting and a dumb ending, you must have hated Nightmare On Elm Street, Child's Play, Friday the 13th, etc etc etc...

This one was much better than many. Definitely not deserving of the low rating.

The censors got all uptight about the pitchfork scene. I don't know why. It wasn't that gruesome. IMO the scene where the guy who has the attic door fall down on his neck was worse. He is left hanging there twitching and choking. He suffers a lot more than the woman does but they left that scene in.

And yes the ending was just awful. I remember saying out loud 'Are you kidding me?'

Long live the 70's!
