I'm unclear on whether the movies are illegal, they just aren't classified and so places of business can't sell or buy them. I mean, right? Unless I am wrong but assuming I'm not: I'm not saying it's a good idea, obviously, but this is a very common system. Besides, the system in America isn't so different in effect. Films get classified NC-17, and are no longer shown or sold in the majority of places, causing lots of things to be cut out. Bruno was classified NC-17 and they had to tone down the GAYNESS of it all, or they'd get no money. How is that better than what the BBFC has done here?
the mpaa is obnoxious for sure but they do not have the power to (nor do their ratings enable the government to): imprison, fine, punish, ban, or do anything other than provide a guideline to movie theater operators who can and cannot be admitted to theaters. and there's actually NO body that governs movie sales or rentals.

so... there is your difference. "can't watch it in a theater unless ur 17" vs "will get arrested if you attempt to sell this."



not gonna reply to all the [ABOVE, ][/ABOVE,] lunacy though

I don't even know why I come on here to argue. I don't even disagree with you guys I just always find it excessive to see people getting all 'what you BAN movies? nazis...' when everything I've just said is legitimate stuff that after I considered led me to think: don't give a flip, which came after my knee-jerk YOU CAN'T BAN AN IDEA!!!! reaction. As far as political issues go, the first film banned in the UK for 20 years isn't a pressing one considering it's a worthless piece of junk. Don't ban it, there's no reason to and out of principle I would say that stinks, but considering everything here, banning it doesn't matter either. Lunacy? smell my socks why don't you.

your real knee-jerk reaction was assuming 'lunacy' had anything to do with you and not the topic's, you know, LUNACY

do you really think it's awful that this movie was banned?  do people so desperately need to see it that it shouldn't be?  it's nothing but torture and sexual assault, it's not a STORY about it it's just TORTURE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT if anything it shouldn't be banned just so we can find out who is buying it and send them immediately to prison

I guess I was just feeling defensive about having said the free market would regulate itself.

the free market could better regulate itself if - whereas the pipedream of theatrical distribution (or, probably, being picked up by certain DVD publishers or being aired by certain cable networks) is the only reason you'd send your movie to the mpaa ANYWAY - there was no required certification step and you could actually sell your movie to people directly, when and how you wanted




for clarity cause i'm retarded:
the free market could better regulate itself if there was no required certification step and you could actually sell your movie to people directly, when and how you wanted

the only reason you would send your movie to the mpaa for ratings is the pipedream of theatrical distribution (or, probably, being picked up by certain DVD publishers or being aired by certain cable networks that might require a rating before they'll sell your movie)

I think there should be a requirement that movies be certified in some kind of way that indicates it's content. Nothing legally binding, obviously, but you've got to let those moms and pops know what they're taking The Kids in to see. That was a pretty convoluted sentence so I might have misinterpreted a little.

i meant if i saw a car accident i'd slow down but there's no way i'd download movies of car accidents. there's a point where curiosity and effort intertwine and while the only people who would go out of their way to get this would probably download car accident movies, if it wasn't banned a lot more people would see it.

edit: PG: Supernatural themes, mild language, drug references, sexual references, violence, etc etc

Just got done watching this, I made the mistake of trying to watch this while eating a curry. Long story short, I gave up on the curry after watching the psycho wipe the shit of the guys leg.

There's no real story involved but we do get to see a very odd type of love story between two people who seem to get closer the more their tortured. The torturing really wasn’t any worse than what you see in the movie Hostel, only you get a whole lot more. Ill admit I did have to cover my eyes during certain parts

Was the movie worth watching?
Well maybe for the sound effects and the last scene which was hilarious but other than that It wasn’t anything special and was probably only made for sick people like me.

This is the real deal guys. 10/10 for audio and quality, its a dvd rip as stated. Unfortunately there are no subtitles so you will have to download them separately somewhere else.

Incase you dont feel like searching for subtitles heres a link for you guys.

http://subscene.com/english/Grotesque-Gurotesku/subtitle-247272.aspx

Before you ask because there's always one who does, just extract the subtitles inside the same folder as the movie and change the name on the subtitle file (.srt) to match the exact name of the movie still leaving .srt at the end.

e.g. Movie name - Grotesque, Subtitles - Grotesque.srt

thanks for the subs though!

I dont get it though. Movies are made to be watched either way. No matter how shitty they are. Why would you define a movie viewing as "dude you should be put behind bars". In all fairness, it's just a movie regardless of content. my 2 cents.
Im going to watch it when its done downloading.

By that argument if someone made child porn in a way that didn't physically harm the child (MAGIC OF EDITING I guess), shouldn't that be legal?  I'm grossed out that anyone wants to see someone's nipples cut off with scissors sorry that that makes me against freedom I'm willing to accept that label.

I would not be surprised if the next idea was that of a movie. The world is fucked up and its not changing for the better any time soon. Ive seen some messed up things in my life so far. The younger I was the longer it scarred me for. But overall I think its made me stronger. I have not puked at something disgusting since i was 9. BUT IF THEY DID MAKE A PEDO MOVIE I WOULD BE FUCKING SCARED SHITLESS....cus in the back of my mind I would be contemplating for HOURS whether that shit is real or not.

You say this like being horribly desensitized to violence is such a good thing  :fogetshrug:

let's totally be honest this is far more deserving an audience than, say Norbit or 2012 or the day after tomorrow.

Some people out there make content like this just for the sake of it.  I guess there's some satisfaction in being on some infamous ban list or whatever.  It's not my kind of thing, but by all means, let them do it.  I see media as a catalog of human ideas and feelings, and I think the dark and twisted should be allowed to exist just as everything else.  I'm not one to pretend that sick ideas like this aren't out there, and I don't think any group should coddle me about what I should and shouldn't watch. 
keep posting...
