    MSP banned in the UK

    http://www.bbfc.co.uk/website/Classi...2573FC005EB482
    This work was rejected.

    Widescreen,MURDER SET PIECES is a US made feature focussing on the activities of a psychopathic sexual serial killer, who, throughout the film, is seen raping, torturing and murdering his victims. There is a clear focus on sex or sexual behaviour accompanied by non-consensual pain, injury and humiliation. Young children are among those terrorised and killed.

    In making a decision as to whether a video work is suitable for classification, the Board applies the criteria set out in its current Classification Guidelines, published in 2005. These are the result of an extensive process of public consultation and research and reflect the balance of media effects research, the requirements of UK law and the attitudes of the UK public. The Board’s Guidelines clearly set out the Board’s serious concerns about the portrayal of violence, most especially when the violence is sexual or sexualised, but also when depictions portray or encourage: callousness towards victims, aggressive attitudes, or taking pleasure in pain or humiliation.

    The Guidelines for the ‘18’ category requested for this video work state that such concerns 'will not normally override the wish that adults should be free to choose their own entertainment' but make clear that exceptions to this general rule may be made in certain areas, including 'where material or treatment appears to the Board to risk harm to individuals or, through their behaviour, to society – eg any detailed portrayal of violent or dangerous acts… [and that the Board] may intervene with portrayals of sexual violence which might, eg eroticise or endorse sexual assault'. Under the heading of 'Rejects', the Guidelines identify as of particular concern 'graphic rape or torture', 'portrayals of children in a sexualised or abusive context' and 'sex accompanied by non-consensual pain, injury or humiliation'.

    The Board’s position that scenes of violence with the potential to trigger sexual arousal may encourage a harmful association between violence and sexual gratification is reflected in research and consistent with public opinion. It is the Board’s carefully considered view that to issue a certificate to MURDER-SET-PIECES, even if statutorily confined to adults, would involve risk of harm within the terms of the Video Recordings Act 1984, would be inconsistent with the Board’s Guidelines, and would be unacceptable to the public.

    The Board considered whether the issue could be dealt with through cuts. However, given the unacceptable content features throughout, and that what remains is essentially preparatory and set-up material for the unacceptable scenes, cuts are not a viable option in this case and the work is therefore refused a classification.

    The BBFC has placed this work in the HORROR genre(s).
    The main spoken language in this work is English.

    Directed by Nick Palumbo
    The cast for this work includes: Sven Garrett, Tony Todd, Cerina Vincent, Gunnar Hansen, Edwin Neal, Jade Risser, Valerie Baber, Natasha Bunker, Jennifer Cross.

    When submitted to the BBFC the work had a running time of 105m 32s.

    This work was submitted to the BBFC by TLA Releasing .

    A film or video, together with associated trailers may exist in several versions and all versions known to the BBFC are listed below.

    Depends what version you saw I guess. I heard the hardcore version or whatever is good. Most people saw the cut version and I heard that version is shit.

    there really was only one effective scene for me and that was when he slit the girls throat in the bathtub. I got shivers there....but other than that, I found it unwatchable.

    Well I would save saying something like that if you have actually scene the movie and can say with certainty (certainty of your opinion anyways) whether one cut is better or not. But in actuality, the defense that the directors cut is better is just something the fans of MSP having come up with an attempt to help the movie save face instead of accepting the fact that it's not all its cracked up to be.

    Bottom line, MSP is all hype and no delivery.
    The effects are top notch and that's all thanks to TTP. The movie itself only has a decent story that could have been much better if the acting wasn't so shit and had handled the characters much better. Then of course there is that layer of pseudo intellectual bullshit that might not have been as ridiculous if Nick Palumbo would have actually attempted to make it better instead of worrying about how he can hype the fuck out of this movie.

    The director's cut or the Lionsgate Cut doesn't change the fact that it's only a mediocre movie at best with just a ridiculous amount of hype. As far is it getting banned from the UK...Whoopty-fucking-do, it can just get inline with all the other movies that have been "banned" from the UK.

    The movie does have several nice scenes, but as a whole, yes the movie is pretty much at the same level as the DTV movies that you can find at your local video store.

    The bath tub scene, the scene were he his raping one of the girls and just starts beating her, and where he kills a woman and walks by her crying baby and smears her blood on the kid were all very well done scenes.

    I love Murder-Set-Pieces. To me it's a modern day Maniac (Maniac is better but still). It's a twisted movie and it has some fucked up scenes. I watched it wanting to see a gory version of Nutbag and that's what I got.

    Pretty much like everyone else, I though that MSP=POS.

    Couldn't even finish watching it it was so bad to me.

    Regardless of the fact the movie blows, no "democratic" country should have the authority to outright ban a film from distribution. Fucking absurd.
