13 Shocking Movie Posters That Were Banned
5. Dying Breed
Nobody likes being reminded that some of their food might have once had a name and a face, no matter how delicious that face might have been. So it's not that surprising that Australia's transport system was closed off to this particularly gruesome teaser one-sheet.
The company who organised such advertising ignored the fact that the human pie image had been approved for cinemas and online adverts (where the rules are clearly a lot more lax) and banned its use outright. Seriously though, how better can you see a movie about a cannibal killer who baked pies for a living than by going full Sweeney Todd?
The producers were furious, but at least the controversy turned some more attention to their small film.
