v Peeping Tom
- 1960 UK crime drama by Michael Powell.
Peeping Tom is a 1960 UK crime drama by Michael Powell. With Karlheinz Böhm, Anna Massey and Moira Shearer.
Cut by 7 minutes for 1960 cinema release. Most but not all cuts have been restored for home video. The cut material has been lost so the current version is the best available Summary review: An ordinary killer
A young man murders women, using a movie camera to film their dying expressions of terror. What really elevates Peeping Tom , what makes so many of the contemporary criticisms absurd, is its
compassion. There's none of that watered-down Freudian guff we encounter in Psycho . Powell makes us feel for his serial killer - not so much by showing us that he feels pain but by showing us that he has ordinary, likeable human qualities as well
as madness.

rated since 2006 DVD. The film was cut in the US for an MPAA R rating. Severin's MPA Unrated restored Director's Cut was released in 2021 seems to be the extended original Spanish Version. Summary Review: Ultimate anti-heroine
Rough girl Perdita and her demonic lover Romeo Dolorosa need humans to sacrifice following Romeo's religion before he can go on a mission ordered by mob boss Santos. They kidnap teen sweethearts Duane and Estelle
and travel with them to Las-Vegas. Perdita is the ultimate anti-heroine in this amazingly underestimated treat. Hilarious, sexy, violent and at times wonderfully silly. The type of adventure Tarantino would
love to have made but fell short every time. Perdita has more girl power than Kill Bill by a mile.
In some ways a sequel to David Lynch's Wild At Heart (several of the minor characters are featured here in a story from the same
writer, Barry Gifford) and in a similar way all of the people are tainted (some more than others) and although Perdita and Romeo are the baddies you have to love them for their cool insanity and wicked sense of humour.

allergic to blackberries, is pelted with the fruit during a comic battle with the rabbit and must use an Epipen to counteract the allergic reaction. Prior to the UK release of the film, but as a result of the film being shown in US cinemas, the BBFC
received complaints that this scene promoted allergy bullying and would upset those, particularly children, who suffered allergic conditions. The Board agreed with the PG classification and that the presentation of the scene did not support these
concerns.

From IMDb. The film suffered cuts for its R Rating to avoid an NC-17. The cut material has never re-surfaced so the R Rated Version is the best available. A work print reveals extra scenes that were not included in the final version, some were for
censorship reasons:
- After the house blows up in the beginning, there is no Funeral scene. After Reggie runs out, Mike runs out and Reggie says he knew it before it was going to happen. Mike tells Reggie that they could probably die trying to find The Tall Man and Reggie
replys Hey, we all got to go sometime.
- After Mike encounters the Liz look-alike and sees the Worm-type creature crawl out of her back and Reggie torches him with the flamethrower, Mike wakes up finding out it was all a dream and Reggie
tells him to get ready as he's ready to leave in his car.
- There is a rumored scene that Mike has a dream that he makes love with Liz all over the World.
- The sphere attack on Father Meyers is also much gorier. We see a much bigger geyser
of blood spurt out the back of the sphere and we see a huge puddle of blood forming in front of him.
- When Mike & Liz are sleeping in the abandoned Manor they along with Liz & Reggie take refuge in, after Mike kisses Liz, they have a
Telepathic love scene and after it finishes, Liz tells Mike That's about the safest sex we'll ever have.
- When the gold "Ripper" sphere drives itself into the Caretaker's back and sends him flying across the Casket Room, we see a
lot more blood squirt from his body.
- After The Tall Man's body is pumped full of acid and Mike, Reggie & Liz escape with Alchemy in the Hearse, we see a new Tall Man come out of the Space Gate and we see him throwing the dead Tall Man into
it. This scene can be seen at the beginning of Phantasm III: Lord Of The Dead .
- Alchemy removes more skin from her face and it soon reveals that it was actually The Tall Man who had tricked Mike, Reggie & Liz. This scene was removed
because director Don Coscarelli felt it looked too fake.

it is said to be. Phantasm 3 has lots of great ideas and cannot be taken seriously at times, although I wouldn't put it into the fun-splatter genre. I didn't really care for the introduction of Kevin Connors in part
3 as an eight-year-old who can shoot than anyone else and drive a car, seems a little absurd. Nonetheless, I loved this film and can strongly recommend this to anyone who enjoys horror/sci-fi and wants more than the usual

Phantom of Death is a 1988 Italy horror thriller by Ruggero Deodato. Starring Michael York, Edwige Fenech and Donald Pleasence.
Cut by the BBFC for 18 rated 1989 release on VHS. Uncut and BBFC 18 rated since 2007 DVD. Summary Review: Quite Good Directed by Ruggero Deodato (Cannibal Holocaust) this is
probably the last half decent film he made before disappearing from view. Michael York plays the pianist who becomes mad after discovering he has a disease that makes him rapidly grow old. Donald Pleasence is the cop on
the trail of the killer but at the same time being driven to the edge by the constant taunts of the killer. It's quite a nicely directed film and is mostly entertaining but it's no way as extreme or nasty as the Directors
more infamous work. It does still contain some ok deaths with alright amounts of blood on offer. Pleasence's performance is highly amusing and his reaction to the death of one of his police colleagues is absolutely priceless. It all leads to a totally
dramatic ending that you would only see in an Italian film. Versions

From IMDb. The BBFC cuts were:
- edited out the eye-stabbing of the rat-catcher
- edited out shots of a hanging body
- extensive edits to scenes showing the creation and final unmasking of the Phantom.
When released in 1962 Hammers version of this famous tale was intended to be an X Certificate, so they were horrified when informed that it was to be part of a double-feature with the A Rated Captain Clegg (aka Night Creatures)
for its British theatrical release. Two scenes were lost to British audiences-- the dispatching of Patrick Troughton's rat-catcher by The Dwarf (quick but very nasty) and the Phantom tearing off his mask to the stunned audience. Both these scenes are
on this DVD version and add some much-needed grislyness to the film. |

The US R rated version is cut but UK 18 rated releases are uncut.
Summary Notes Standard story of the Phantom does have one major variation - The phantom is not a disfigured individual, but rather is an unwashed orphan abandoned in the sewers under the Paris
Opera & raised by rats. The Phantom invokes death upon anyone who dares harm his beloved rats. In fact, The Phantom's nemesis is the chief exterminator who develops a rat-catching machine.

Brosnan, an alternate ending to the film was described: Bass originally filmed a spectacular, surreal montage lasting four minutes, showing what life would be like in the 'new' Earth, but this was cut by the distributor. A preview version with this
ending intact was shown to some audiences in 1973-4. The alternate ending surfaced in 2012. The 35mm original footage of the ending was scanned and color corrected by the Academy Film Archive. Beginning in 2013, repertory showings of the film
showed the alternate ending after the main feature. However Paramount have so far refused to licence the new material for inclusion in the film but it is now available for disk extras.
Summary Notes
Desert ants suddenly form a collective intelligence and begin to wage war on the desert inhabitants. It is up to two scientists and a stray girl they rescue from the ants to destroy them. But the ants have other ideas.

v Phenomena

- Creepers
- Dario Argento's Phenomena
Phenomena is a 1985 Italian Sci-Fi horror film by Dario Argento. With Jennifer Connelly, Donald Pleasence and Daria Nicolodi.
Exists in three versions, a shortened version, a Director's Cut and an Integral Version. Furthermore the shortened version was further cut by the BBFC for 18 rated cinema and VHS releases. The cuts were waived for DVD releases of the
Director's Cut and Integral Version. Summary Notes A young girl, with an amazing ability to communicate with insects, is transferred to an exclusive Swiss boarding school, where her unusual capability
might help solve a string of murders. Jennifer Corvino, the daughter of a famous actor, has had trouble with sleepwalking for some time. Her doctor said that it can develop a split personality. She discovers her alternate
personality when she stays at a boarding school that was once the home a Richard Wagner. But someone has been killing the students, and it relates only indirectly to the criminal sanitorium nearby. So it's up to "the two greatest detectives the
world has ever known, or should I say, unknown" This is a refreshingly offbeat and wacky giallo with supernatural overtones that I instantly loved. However, I think the 110-minute version is a bit overlong and could use
some editing of superfluous scenes. The 82-minute American version Creepers cuts some good gore and a couple of important scenes, so I think the best cut would be somewhere between the two available versions.

A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence is a 2014 Sweden / Germany / Norway / France comedy drama by Roy Andersson.
Starring Holger Andersson, Nils
Westblom and Viktor Gyllenberg.
Rated 12A uncut by the BBFC. Faked Animal Cruelty Jon notes: The film features scenes of a simian being experimented on and electrocuted! The scenes had been faked by clever CGI
and animatronics, but if you've seen the film, and didn't know that the cruelty was faked, it looks horrendously real, and abhorrent! The film received a 12A rating (for disturbing images ) and the BBFC DIDN'T mention
anything in the BBFC Advice about the cruelty. When I emailed them about it, they said as long as the cruelty is fake, they can and will pass it! If animal cruelty has been faked, and the BBFC are shown evidence to backup that
fakeness, then it can be passed, at any rating.

The Original Director's Cut was not a success and the film was re-cut by
the director with a new opening to emphasise the exorcism theme. Later a 3rd version was cut with a new opening and ending to emphasise the incest theme. Summary Notes Lynn Hart is a disturbed young
woman who escapes from a mental hospital where she was committed for killing her abusive father who raped her. Stealing a nurse's uniform and car, Lynn ends up in a small California town where she meets and shacks up with Zambrini, an old farmer who runs
the local motel and roadside café. Zambrini also owns a group of pigs that he keeps in a pen behind his house who have somehow developed a taste for human flesh. When Lynn begins killing a number of men who remind her of her dead father, Zambrini helps
her out by disposing of the bodies to the pigs. Investigating the disappearances, the local sheriff eventually becomes suspicious of Lynn's past and a private investigator, hired by the hospital to find her, slowly close in on Lynn.

BBFC category cuts were required for a 15 rated cinema release in 2008. All UK home video releases were 18 uncut for both the US Theatrical and Extended Versions. These were R rated and Unrated in the US without cuts. Summary Notes
Lazy court-process clerk and stoner Dale Denton has only one reason to visit his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver: to purchase weed, specifically, a rare new strain called Pineapple Express. But when Dale becomes the
only witness to a murder by a crooked cop and the city's most dangerous drug lord, he panics and dumps his roach of Pineapple Express at the scene. Dale now has another reason to visit Saul: to find out if the weed is so rare that it can be traced back
to him--and it is. As Dale and Saul run for their lives, they quickly discover that they're not suffering from weed-fueled paranoia: incredibly, the bad guys really are hot on their trail and trying to figure out the fastest way to kill them both. All
aboard the Pineapple Express.

| 106:41s | UK: The Theatrical version was Passed 15 after BBFC category cuts for frequent drug use and references, strong language and violence for:
- 2009 Sony R2 DVD
- 2008 cinema release
The BBFC commented: PINEAPPLE EXPRESS is a comedy about a man who witnesses a murder and is forced to go on the run from the police, along with his drug dealer. The film was classified '15' for frequent drug use and
references, strong language and comic violence.
As the lead character is a regular drug user, sight of soft drug use (in the form of cannabis smoking) and verbal drug references are found throughout the film. However, although the tone of the
film is light it does not, as a whole, promote or encourage such drug use. There is also frequent use of strong language (BBFC Guidelines at '15' state that 'There may frequent use of strong language') and some scenes of strong but comic violence. The
scenes of comic violence include sight of a tough policewoman being kicked in the groin by a man and close up sight of an ear with part of it having been shot off. The film also contains a number of strong sex references such as You wanted to eat that
lollipop out of that stripper's snatch and You'll blow a bunch of dudes and become a lesbian, which are crude but in line with the Guideline requirement that, at '15', 'there may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour'.
However in an article from news.bbc.co.uk Canadian actor Seth Rogen has said that one of the drug scenes from his new film Pineapple Express had to be specially edited for UK audiences. Rogen said:
There's a scene in the movie when we sell [drugs] to high school kids - that's still in there I assume. But in the American version of the scene we also smoke weed with them and hang out. It's a really explicit scene of
us getting high with these 11-year-olds. I think for the UK they've kind of softened it a bit. |

Note that the long 107m running includes a post credits piece by the director. The running time of the uncut film itself is 94m.
The BBFC agreed to an uncut 18 rated DVD release in 2008 but the release was cancelled.
The BBFC commented in 2008 about the 3 last cuts to be waived:
- Probably the most difficult scene was the one featuring a man assaulting a woman with live chickens. However, a careful viewing of the scene suggested that the handling of the chickens, although rough, was no stronger
than other scenes of animals being manhandled that had been passed in other films. Furthermore, although the chickens were killed, the killing was quick and clean and therefore not in breach of BBFC policy on animal cruelty.
-
The scene showing a man masturbating and injecting semen into a woman's vagina was grotesque and repulsive, rather than erotic. Although the Board had previously expressed concerns about the non-consensual nature of the scene, the
datedness of the film and the lack of credibility of the scene, argued against intervention. With regard to the sexual violence in the scene, the Board's conclusion was that the scene was so over-the-top and so divorced from reality, that the likely
response was disgust, shock and horror, rather than arousal.
- The brief explicit fellatio could be justified by the wider context of the film, in that the whole purpose of the film was to shock, disgust and amuse (in
a blackly comic fashion), rather than to arouse, and the explicitness of the image was important in creating the film's effect.
The BBFC's ratings info from 2022 reads: nudity : There is focus on a man's dilating anus, in close-up detail. There is wider full nudity. sex : There is a scene of unsimulated
fellatio between a fictional mother and son. There are other strong sex scenes, as well as references to ejaculation, masturbation and troilism. A man's semen is seen, in close-up detail. sexual violence and sexual threat :
A man rapes a woman, while daubing her in chicken blood. After masturbating over her, a man artificially inseminates an unconscious female prisoner. A man exposes himself to schoolgirls. other issues: In unsimulated
footage, a woman puts dog excrement in her mouth. There is infrequent very strong language ('c**t'), regular strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker') and discriminatory terms such as 'fag', 'dyke' and 'queen'. A chicken is killed on-screen. Threat, gore
and implied violence are strong. There is brief drug misuse.

Cut by the BBFC for 1961 cinema release. Uncut thereafter, 15 rated on VHS, 12 rated on DVD. Summary Review: The finest Corman-Poe film Francis Barnard hears his sister
Elizabeth has died. Her husband Nicholas Medina, the son of the brutish torturer of the Spanish Inquisition, tells him she has died of a blood disease, but Francis finds this hard to believe. After some investigating he finds out that it was extreme fear
that was fatal to his sister and that she may have been buried alive! From horror's team of Roger Corman, Vincent Price and, of course, Edgar Allen Poe comes this menacing, macabre and suspenseful tale of insanity, death and
betrayal. This film is certainly one of, but maybe even the finest Corman-Poe film. It's Poe at his most devilishly malicious as it deals with themes of torture, and the most frightening method of death known to man; being buried alive.

Cuts for China See article from
moviepilot.com : According to some of the emails leaked from Sony, the studio heavily edited the movie Pixels to ensure it didn't fall foul of the ever-present Chinese censors.
Reuters is reporting that the original script for the movie, which made frequent references to China, was sanitized after executives felt it could hinder its global box office appeal. For example, one scene, which featured pixelated aliens
blasting a hole into the Great Wall of China, was decided to be too inflammatory for Chinese censors. Li Chow, chief representative of Sony Pictures in China, explained that although the film featured other landmarks being destroyed, it was simply better
to lose the scene. The original script also apparently contained references to a Communist Conspiracy brother hacking an email server. As you can expect, this was also stripped in an attempt to pass the movie for the Chinese market. In fact, by
the end of the cull, there were no references to the authoritarian nation left in the script.

ratings board mandated massive trims (they involve brain eating and torso tearing), but the added back bits don't really accentuate the excess. So aside from a few additional seconds of melting testicles, and an overall augmented level of post-gunshot

Africa. A British Petroleum executive (Michael Caine) is assigned to work with the British Army handling port duties for incoming fuels. This gives him the official rank of Captain in the British Army. The Colonel (Nigel Green) in charge of the unit
is told he must have a British officer accompany his men on a dangerous mission 400 miles behind the German lines and is saddled with the Petroleum executive, who tries to argue his way out by saying that his contract states he is to only work port
duties. That argument is lost on the Brigade Commander (Harry Andrews - Ice Cold in Alex; The Hill)) who simply points out that the executive is wearing a British uniform. The real leader of the Dirty Dozen (Nigel Davenport - A Man for All Seasons; The
Royal Hunt of the Sun; No Blade of Grass), a released prisoner himself, doesn't need or want the British officer, who's supposed to be in charge, but he's promised an extra 2,000 British Pounds if he gets him back alive.

period gem. Great cast. Great locations. Beautifully shot. A rather classy production and a real time tripper. The film, shot in black and white, really captures London circa 1964. Very simple story about a girl who comes
to London to be a model and the various characters she comes across in her Kensington flat share. The story is a bit silly and trite at times, but enjoyably so. As an eye over London at that time it's surprisingly
illuminating in terms of fashion, cars, clothes, pretty girls and the early days the of the Swinging London era. Versions
