Board claims 'Gurotesuku' inappropriate for audiences. It sound's sick!

The British Board of Film Classification has banned the DVD release of Japanese helmer-scribe Koji Shiraishi’s "Gurotesuku" (Grotesque) for what it called violence so extreme that it was inappropriate for audiences.

The BBFC described the straight-to-DVD horror pic, distributed in the U.K. by 4Digital Media, as an "an unrelenting and escalating scenario of humiliation, brutality and sadism."

It said the movie’s scenes of torture — including amputation, castration and evisceration — made it impossible to edit the film in a way that would make it acceptable for British viewers.
