The truth is we have been recieving comments and e-mails from various countries including The UK, Australia, Argentina, Venezuela, south Africa, Russia, Tuvastan, Nauru, to name a few.

well, its just selling trick i guess, the film which was supposed to be banned in 43 countries is Tod Browning's Freaks, whic is a beautiful black-and-white film from the thirties, highly recommended

reply

I watched this movie because it was supposed to be comparable to Freaks (which I haven't seen, really want to, but have not found a copy yet). I have read reviews and synopses, and seen images from Freaks but haven't been fortunate enough to see it yet. This was a decent movie as far as showing the tight-knit community that circus people have, but I had an issue with the ending. She would've died from shock or choked on her own blood.

Well wolfclown, I find it hard to believe it was banned in Argentina mainly because the movie Snuff 102 was directed out of Argentina, and for it realistic depictions of murder, to look like a "snuff film", that in itself was not banned. I find it hard to believe that they'd ban a little thing like freakshow.

Just because you do not believe does not make my statement false.
The question is, Was "Snuff 102" shown in Argentina?
There are many movies and commercials which are made in the USA, but never shown here due to our censors.

Actually, it was. It did cause an uproar be cause people thought it was truly real.

reply

Wait are you saying it's banned in the countries listed? If so, then how is it on the Zone Horror channel in the UK right now?

reply


It may be banned in the country, and not in the city.

I'll summarize the movie: it was vomit in my mouth. And it tasted like underside of Donald Trump's hair, which is the worst side.

Most of this movie was blatantly stolen from "FREAKS" a true classic
