Is the uncut Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 still banned here?
Were You Allowed To Watch Films That Wasn't Your Age Certificate?
- Thread starter VERONICA EMMA CHUNG
- Start date
85 minute version?
Yeah it was finally released in 2004 I believe,but Bravo started showing it in 2000.
Strange movie; well not the actual movie in itself,which is a straight slasher,but the fact it was cut so much.The cut version makes the movie incoherent,and the cut stuff (along with the deleted workprint scenes) is nothing sickening.

I remember watching Halloween when I was about 5. Didn't remember the scary stuff so it clearly had no effect. And I watched this other film about the boy who was locked in his school's coat room after hours and it was haunted or whatever. Don't remember the name of that though, but would like to see it again.
Obviosuly those movies were watched at home.
First 15 I remember seeing at the cinema was Cruel Intentions, I was about 13 at the time.
So yeah, been watching films from a young age. Always enjoyed horror films, they never bothered me.

Absolutely. 
I grew up in the age of the video nasty, by the time I was 10 I'd seen them all.
I think it's different today though.
When I watched someone getting diced and sliced in a good ol' fashioned gore-fest it never bothered me, that level of violence was just so abstract, it didn't register on my reality scale what so ever.
I think these days though kiRAB are more aware of violence and so I'm not sure I'd be as liberal as my parents were in allowing children to view such material.
But saying that, I think it's more a case of how we view these films.
Back in the day, having access to a video nasty on a large colour telly was a good excuse for a social gathering, the film became a social event. I think viewing films like this is important, where we view it on a concious level. I think the danger comes when a child views adult material alone, where the experience becomes more voyeuristic and there's no clear distinction between what is real (merely watching the film) and what is fantasy (that what they are watching is real).
I can kinda see why there is such an emphasis on age restriction, although it has to be said that I think there is more danger in a kid playing GTA than watching a video nasty.
