9. But surely South Africa banned more than just those?

In SA I must be a very perverse or evil person?   :buggedout:

I had a think about why so few horror movies were banned here: I think film distributors saw films overseas and thought that the apartheid censors are so strict, we shouldn't even purchase this film for SA as it might get banned and there goes our money  :buggedout:

The apartheid censors had standard phrases they trotted out to explain why films were banned like
The film is undesirable
The film has merit but.............
This film is or will be offensive to a certain section of the SA public

All I can say to that is a heartfelt Oy.  :buggedout:
