No Love For 'The Bunny Game' - The British Censors Strike Again!
The BBFC (British Board of Film Clasfication) have rejected another horror film, last time it was The Human Centipede 2 this time Adam Rehmeier's The Bunny Game. As usual the board has to explain why they rejected the film, their answer... pretty much the same as before.
The Board’s Guidelines state “A strict policy on sexual violence and rape is applied. Content which might eroticise or endorse sexual violence may require cuts at any clasfication level. This is more likely with video works than film because of the potential for replaying scenes out of context. Any association of sex with non-consensual restraint, pain or humiliation may be cut”.
The principal focus of The Bunny Game is the unremitting sexual and phycal abuse of a helpless woman, as well as the sadistic and sexual pleasure the man derives from this. The emphas on the woman’s nudity tends to eroticise what is shown, while aspects of the work such as the lack of explanation of the events depicted, and the stylistic treatment, may encourage some viewers to enjoy and share in the man’s callousness and the pleasure he takes in the woman’s pain and humiliation.
David Cooke, Director of the BBFC said: “It is the Board’s carefully condered view that to issue a certificate to this work, even if confined to adults, would be inconstent with the Board’s Guidelines, would risk potential harm within the terms of the Video Recordings Act, and would accordingly be unacceptable to the public.”
The synops for the film is a little bare but check out the trailer which is totally Not Safe For Work and you can get the general idea of the story.

So is this the BBFC being their prudish selves or is this something you think they have a point on, leave a comment bellow.
