Ban? Why Ban? Films should be never be banned! That's more inhumane and disgusting than gutting your brethren. FUCK CENSORSHIP!

Suicide Club and Strange Circus are the best films I have ever watched! I love J-Horror, they are pioneers in what they are doing. They story, the acting, realism everything is superb.

Cannibal Holocaust is a funny film, to be honest.

Not as inhumane as backbiting:

And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you love to eat the flesh of his dead brother? (Quran,Al-Hujurat 49: 12)


I think the problem with Cannibal Holocaust was that they thought it really happened, or something. The actors even signed a contract to 'disappear' for a year or so, but they had to cancel it after the controversy.

Don't watch many horror films, let alone foreign ones. I've seen Audition, which was good I guess. Also Tokyo Gore Police and Machine Girl. Though I wouldn't honestly classify those as horror films, even if it's technically what they are.

None of them should be banned.

No film should be banned, besides romantic comedies.

Good international horrors would be Martyrs - which is one my favourite films ever. Others include A Serbian Film, El Orfanato, Audition and Cannibal Holocaust for lulz. I still haven't got round to watching that Salo 120 Days of Sodom film yet, which is apparently beyond exceedingly disturbing.

I used to watch horror films. I'm not allowed to any more because my psychologist says my repeated exposure to horror films for years since I was as young as five has done more damage to my mental state than anything else that has happened to me...

But by the time I was ten or so, I had seen all the standard stuff. As well as a lot of Japanese horror, which was more than likely the main cause of my paranoia. I loved El Orfanato, Guillermo Del Toro is great. He also did one of my all-time favourite films, Pan's Labyrinth (not horror though). But haven't watched any for years. I sneak a horror video game in every once and a while, but the films do way too much damage to me.

I do not watch a lot of creepy shit. Even at this, I do not think any of them should be censored, since I could just choose whatever I wanted to watch. Cannibal holocaust was a tad hideous to watch, I didn't tolerate it much when my dad (Yes, my dad was the one who coaxed me into watching it!) had it on.

The last J-Horror I watched was the Unborn. Other than that, it's either I forgot or I haven't watched yet. J-Horror's vividness is just, freaky.

The only horror film that I watched when I was a Kid was The Fly. The quality of the VCR films added the atmosphere. I was traumatized by no means -- that human... becomes an ugly... shit...

Banning films? That's censoring art. No form of art should be censored in any way. I don't care if it offends you or disturbs you, but you don't get to decide what is and isn't art or what can and can't be shown.

No matter what art is considered about, what the ever the material and whatever the medium. We don't like censorship, as I have said before. We don't need to ban films.

Especially the Jap ones. I want more films like those. Why censor them?

Totally agree.

And the argument that it's for the children is bull. Parents should decide what's right and wrong for their children to watch, not the government.

I could go on but I should stop since this isn't a debate.

Let the kids decide whether they watch happy cartoons about ponies and fairies or a women getting her vagina ripped open with a vise and her boyfriend dick getting hammered with a nine-inch nails in some abandoned hospital. It's really up to the kids.

Totally agree on non-banning. People will and should decide what they want to watch.
There are some weird films tho. Has anyone seen the Human Centipede? HCII has been banned in some European countries already. I agree its "sick" ...at least part one was...part two sounds nastier.

I have been trying to watch that. According to some reviews, it's not really scary. It's just the thought that you are being stitched into someone else's anus is disturbing.

Films that should be banned:

A Serbian Film- If you know what it is, I'm sorry. If you don't, Don't look it up, I can absolutely 100% guarantee you will regret it.

I saw the trailer for this and yeah it didn't seem 'out of the ordinary' scary, but you're right about the concept because that's what I thought about the whole time I was viewing it even though you really don't 'see' anything.
