Oh this ones priceless….
Not so long ago in the hazy past, a little game called Manhunt 2 caused just a tiny bit of controversy - Manhunt Banned
The BBFC banned the game for its depiction of “sustained, casual sadism” deeming it too much for UK gamers. David Cooke, director of the BBFC, said the body had twice rejected the game “for its focus on varied and cumulative killings”.
He said the judgement had to include the “full range of possible harm risks to vulnerable individuals and to any children who may be wrongly exposed to such games.”
How is it then that the (government backed) UK Film Council deems it worthy to award nearly 1 million pounds from National Lottery money to a torture movie in the same vein as Saw and Hostel? A film described as “a nasty, pretentious and sordid little movie”
Now, I have ZERO problems with this movie existing. I don’t care, I’ve seen the Saw movies and enjoyed them to a degree, I watched Hostel and shook my head at the poorly written story.. but not at the violence.
How the HELL can the UK government have the brass balls to claim that video games might be too violent and spend god knows how much of our tax money on a study on violence in games, then help fund a f*cking torture movie is beyond me!
I’m literally boiling with rage at this.. if a game was to come out with the same content as this movie.. torturing people until they either break and kill a loved one, or die.. all the anti-game nuts would be screaming from the rooftops!
Seriously, this sh*t needs to stop. If a game is rated for adults it deserves the same treatment films like this get.
