British movie censors have refused to allow a shocking new Japanese horror movie into U.K. cinemas - labelling the film too "brutal and sadistic" for even the highest 18 certificate.
Disturbing torture picture Murder Set Pieces and Terrorists, Killers And Other Wackos was admitted to bosses at the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) in a bid to land an official rating to allow its release in the country.
The film includes graphic scenes of torture, as well as real footage of execution and sadism.
And censor officials were so sickened, they have refused to pass it - meaning they won't allow the film to be shown in U.K. cinemas until it is heavily edited to meet the BBFC's standards of decency.
It is a rare move for the Board, who have only refused to give an 18 rating to three films in the last four years. An 18 rated movie means no cinemagoers under that age in Britain is legally allowed to watch the film.
BBFC director David Cooke has dismissed the film as "little more than an unrelenting and escalating scenario of humiliation, brutality and sadism".
