sally i hear something stop stop
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
scariest band horror movies
for this list we'll be looking at horror
films thrillers that have been banned
for various reasons particularly the
high levels of gore and other disturbing
content the movies don't need to have
stayed banned to qualify for this list
what's the scariest movie you've ever
seen let us know in the comments
number 10 antichrist france danish
director laos von trier makes movies
that feel designed to sadden sicken and
shock you all at once and antichrist
might be his crowning achievement in
terms of overall disturbing quality
the film details the harrowing journey
taken by a couple after the accidental
death of their son we don't blame you if
you have to look away or even turn it
off crying woman is a scheming woman in
2016 seven years after its release
antichrist was banned in france due to a
court deeming its 16 plus rating too low
promotois a catholic traditionalist
group had pressured the courts in hopes
of having the film reclassified with a
more restrictive rating and i understood
that
everything that used to be beautiful
about eden
was perhaps hideous as of yet there's no
indication of antichrist being re-rated
and unbanned in the country nothing
hurts more than to see the one that you
love
subjected to mistakes and wrongs
number nine the human centipede ii the
uk australia and new zealand if you're
wondering what a human centipede is
we're not going to explain it here one
digestive system
is this a perverted film you've been
talking about the second installment in
this gross out trilogy is about a
disturbed man who's inspired by the
first film to try some unnecessary
surgery of his own unsurprisingly the
film's graphic content got it banned in
multiple countries with the british
board of film classification initially
disallowing its release before accepting
a cut version dad doesn't have to find
out we can come back and get it tomorrow
when we have the key a similar situation
happened with the australian
classification review board which also
later accepted a recup version and in
new zealand the film wasn't shown in
theaters due to the controversy in
australia's management again please
disregard my earlier message
unfortunately ms williams and mr
tomorrow were able to reschedule that
they're really really excited to come to
london for mr carrot
sometimes a few minutes of cuts can make
all the difference
number eight i spit on your grave
multiple countries this film about a
woman who's attacked and then gets
revenge on her assailants bears the
dubious honor of being called the worst
movie of all time by the late great
critic roger ebert forgive
me while there's debate over the
artistic and moral value of i spit on
your grave it's undeniably a difficult
watch the film's graphic content got it
banned in many countries such as iceland
ireland norway china singapore thailand
and west germany it was also banned in
canada until the 90s as well as for
seven years in australia you brought
nothing but bad luck with you
bad luck
i have no friends now because of you the
original title was day of the woman
which doesn't quite indicate how
shocking it truly is i don't like women
giving me orders
number seven cannibal holocaust multiple
countries with a title like this you
know not to choose it for a family movie
night hey listen i i don't know about
this i think they want us for dinner
tonight an early example of found
footage horror cannibal holocaust
details the search for an american
documentary crew that goes missing in
the amazon rainforest the film sparked
intense controversy for his actual
depictions of animal deaths and graphic
violence it was so convincing that the
director ruggiero diodato was charged
with murder which he was later cleared
of but the film still received bans
around the world including italy norway
australia new zealand and the united
states it's unbelievable it's
it's horrible
i can't understand the reason for such
cruelty some of these bands have been
lifted but cannibal holocaust remains
one of the hardest movies to endure john
i want this material burned
all of it
number six the last house on the left
the uk i'm gonna have a look no no come
on let's go here we got more important
things
director wes craven was responsible for
two of the most famous horror series of
all time but his career started with a
movie so unsettling it makes those other
films look like kid stuff i think it's
crazy what's crazy all that blood and
violence i thought you were supposed to
be the love generation the last house on
the left a horror take on ingmar
bergman's the virgin spring tells the
harrowing story of parents seeking
revenge on their daughter's killers the
results are brutal and the film sparked
plenty of controversy in the uk the
british board of film sensors declined
to give it a certification resulting in
its ban god damn heart class tight-ass
freakos in 2002 a modified version of
the film earned an 18 certificate while
the uncensored version was released in
2008. we'll stick with scream thanks
number five hostel part two multiple
countries we have contract here what
kind of contract
anyone who come to this place
cannot leave
without killing
some horror movies almost seem like
they're trying to convince you to avoid
travel at all costs the first hostel is
a gruesome depiction of american
tourists being tortured overseas and the
second film went even further in terms
of depravity as a result many countries
have been hostile towards hostile part
two she'll go straight to the police
yeah exactly someone should no no one
should eli roth's sequel has been banned
censored in multiple countries including
new zealand germany and malaysia and
it's pretty incredible to think it even
played in american multiplexes you think
we're sick
four years later hostel part three was
released straight to video and attracted
far less negative attention
number four salo or the 120 days of
sodom multiple countries all things are
good when carried to excess
salo is based on a book by the marquis
de sade who's responsible for the term
sadism and that's certainly what happens
in director pierre paolo pasolini's film
about teenagers being tortured in
fascist italy you poor idiot you must be
stupid to think that death would be so
easy
don't you know that we intend to kill
you a thousand times over
until the end of eternity
if there could be an end to eternity
just hearing about the acts depicted on
screen is enough to turn your stomach
this explains why the film has been
banned in so many countries including
australia new zealand and the united
kingdom these bans have been lifted but
not until decades later while many have
praised salo as a work of legit cinema
others find it more obscene than
artistic the bourgeoisie does not recoil
from
slaughter though the victims be their
loving sons and daughters
number three a serbian film multiple
countries if there was ever a horror
movie that should come with a mandatory
therapy for viewers it's this one
this film a serbian production about the
making of a shockingly brutal film is
itself shockingly brutal and so it's
been banned in multiple countries for
its sickening content at different
points the film has been banned in
countries such as australia new zealand
brazil and spain overall it's reportedly
been banned in 46 countries
we're all for watching films from
different cultures but if you're looking
for a good clean serbian film to watch
we recommend choosing something besides
a serbian film
called
number two the texas chainsaw massacre
multiple countries
compared to horror films that came after
it the original texas chainsaw massacre
can seem somewhat quaint but it's still
an incredibly effective thriller and
caused quite a stir when it was first
released
[Applause]
contemporary audiences weren't used to
seeing violence depicted in such a
brutal way and many countries
subsequently banned it these included
australia brazil france ireland sweden
and norway not all of these fans have
been permanent and the film is now
recognised as a horror classic
[Applause]
it might not be the goriest movie on
this list but it's definitely one of the
scariest before we continue be sure to
