FILMS with graphic violence, including one simulating the rape, torture and incineration of concentration camp victims, are being freely sold on the high street, prompting demands by MPs for a reform of the censorship laws.

SS Experiment Camp is one of a clutch of violent films banned 20 years ago by the director of public prosecutions that have been approved for general release by Britain’s film censors and are on sale in shops.

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) said there was no evidence that the film causes harm to viewers, adding that “there is nothing in this film that anybody should have any concerns about”. The board claims that sensibilities toward on-screen violence have changed since the film was banned.

Ah takes me back to the early 80s before the Video Recording Act 1984 was passed in the wake of the tabloid Video Nasty scare campiagn.

Wouldnt surprise me if he was talking about some of the August Underground or Canibal Holocaust ones. I hear their nasty stuff alright. The latter was up on quick silverscreen lately but was down within the hour.

SS Experiment camp is like all the "nazisploitation" movies-low budget,crappy SFX,soft core nudity and cartoonish nazis.

It reputation is waaaaaaaaaaaay over rated but fact is it was made in the 70s on a shoestring so old duffers are still going to get up on their high horse about it.
