10 Banned Horror Movies That Shocked The World
5. I Spit On Your Grave
A movie that even if you haven't seen, you'll have heard of, I Spit On Your Grave is one of the most infamous horror movies to get itself a ban in recent memory - and it's really not hard to see why. An exploitation movie that tells the tale of a woman assaulted and left for dead by four men, she manages to survive the ordeal and enact brutal revenge on those that wronged her, ramping up from hanging them to cutting off a d*ck to really prove her point.
Considering just how long and drawn out the actual attack is in this movie, that it got banned internationally for glorifying violence against women is wholly expected. Even in the years since, only heavily edited and cut versions have been allowed into circulation by the countries that initially prohibited its screening, with only Ireland still unrelenting on its sales as late as 2010.
Whilst some might claim that it's a piece of cinema history, it's one that many would argue isn't worth preserving.
