Using a BBFC banned rating to the best advantage...

Like with Human Centipede 2I wonder if the ban will be lifted on this film in a few years time.

Also I am interested that both films seem to be touted as "horror movies."
In my opinion Human Centepede 2 lacked the psychological depth to be a horror movie.
In this regard I would be more inclined to call "7even" a horror movie.

My personal opinion was Human centipede 2 came across more like a soft porn film.But one based on rules that are banned by the R18 rating.
Is hate crime any different?

In some ways I feel like Cannibal Holocaust has really set the standard for these kind of films in terms of violence and context.

Perhaps it is unfair to compare movies in this way?
But Flim makers have a powerful medium with R18 certificate in that they can easily have a film "Banned" and gain the attention from that.
Now we need deeper political,spiritual and ethical material that can engage the viewer.

Pure Sadism will never be fully convincing. Look at any interview with serial killers and you can see that they are not superhuman bogey men. But sway from sadism to masochism.
Also they have more sides.Even moral ones.
