BBFC "consumer advice statement" of the year

11:08 PM / Cinema / Comments3 Comments

Saw this emblazoned on the side of a bus, as part of an advertisement for THE DEATH AND LIFE OF CHARLIE ST. CLOUD:

Contains moderate language and a car crash

Yeah, for real. Merry Christmas, everybody!

This reminds me, have you seen Inside (À l'intérieur) yet? After watching it I was amazed, and still am, the BBFC passed it uncut. Even I was shocked at the level and violence/gore compared to Martyrs or Haute tension. Makes every video nasty look comical.

Hey Jayson,

No, afraid I haven't seen it. I've just looked it up on IMDB, though - sounds intriguing.

I love À l'intérieur. Bought the Nordic BD and added the R1 English subtitles as soon as I learned how. Frustratingly I still can't watch the damn thing on my TV thanks to it being "1080p 25fps" (1080i@50hz, which is how it was likely shot/edited).

By the way, avoid Frontier(s). Only French produced horror film of the last decade I couldn't stand any part of.
