1.0 out of 5 stars Box of the butchered!, 24 Jun 2006
If you want to waste your hard earned money on some half decent films shredded yet again by the medaling BBFC then go ahead with this, or you could get these films in their glorious gory entirety as they were meant to be seen on region 1 which probably work out to be cheaper as well - your choice. Ban the BBFC!

1.0 out of 5 stars Bannedwagon, 23 April 2006
Censorship seems to be around more than ever these days. The Box of the Banned jumps on the bannedwagon and releases a bunch of films mostly still cut. The Evil Dead, Zombie Flesh Eaters uncut. However, The Driller Killer is still "smoothed over", I remember seeing this "on video" and uncut. The Last House on the Left still incomplete. Nightmares in a Damaged Brain, still bits missing, though the jury is still out on this one. Finally, I Spit on your Grave, despite the distributor claiming the missing seven minutes are now included they have been reframed, so in effect cut. It is not simply the BBFC that censors films, distributors also submit films with cuts to get release, and the Box of the Banned takes advantage of the enormous media hype surrounding "video nasties", which unfortunately adds to the already huge misconceptions of what these type of films are about. Uncut versions of all these films are a click away, but be warned they come with a price tag and potentially more than a financial one.

3.0 out of 5 stars These versions weren't banned, 10 Mar 2006
By Matt (London) - See all my reviews
Having seen all of these films on pirate but not actually owning any, I looked forward to this immensely. However, I've only made it through two of the films so far (I Spit On Your Grave and Last House On The Left) and both are cut terribly (I Spit On Your Grave has sections which are looped to cover up the cutting, which is almost unwatchably bad).

When I first saw this advertised I thought it was a great idea, and the films chosen are excellent, but if they're all like these two, then it's a bit of a swiz as these aren't the versions that got banned (something which makes all the hype and the documentaries seem almost contradictory).

I've read other comments on here saying Zombie Flesh Eaters is uncut, which is good, so maybe I will be proved wrong. I hope so, as otherwise this is one big rip-off. Documentary is great though in its own right.
