'A Serbian Film' banned in Australia

[Archivist]

Given our recent thread about the grotesque kind of bad movie, I thought this might interest some here.  'A Serbian Film' was pulled off video store shelves in Perth after complaints were received.

A horror film that has scenes of child molestation and necrophilia has been pulled from Perth video libraries after Federal authorities banned it.

A Serbian Film, about a pornographic actor who appears in a snuff movie, was released on DVD on August 19. After originally being banned, the film was given an R18+ classification when its distributors cut three minutes from the original version.

But after complaints from South Australian Attorney-General John Rau - who said some scenes were so depraved he would not describe them - the ban was reinstated.
However, the Classification Review Board has reversed its ban on the computer game House of the Dead: Overkill Extended Cut. It will be released with an MA-rating and advice that it contains "strong horror violence, strong coarse language".

Pretty much every video game worth playing is banned in Australia.  They refuse to accept the fact that there are actually adults living in that country I guess.

This guy has it spot on.
Left 4 Dead was massively censored down under.

I think Yahtzee said it best: "Because our old decrepit government thinks that everyone in Australia is mass murderer waiting to happen."
