Mega-quiffed horrorphile and passionate movie mogul Mark Kermode launched his new BBC blog 'Kermode Uncut' last week at http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/markkermode/ and while perusing this we found this clip about the uncut release of Last House On The Left.

For anyone not mad for the horror this is Wes "Scream" Craven's debut feature - a particularly violent, unpleasantly realistic, exploitation flick, until now unavailable uncut to UK audiences. Back in February we reported on the banning of Murder Set Pieces (here) and although the issues weren't as straightforward as just taste and decency, whatever your feelings about horror movies, the politics of censorship is an ongoing debate. With Funny Games US coming to DVD on the 28 July - (a movie which openly questions and admonishes viewers for choosing to watch graphic violence on film) this topic is going to run and run. So: what do you think? Is it a good thing that we finally get the choice to watch a nasty, but still significant, piece of horror history? Or is it the job of the BBFC to protect people from this kind of fare? Or are you with Haneke - does it say something damning about you as an individual that you would choose to watch scenes of violence as a leisure activity?

Head on over the the forum and let's have a (non-violent) fight about it....
