    Of course people have seen it, but how exactly it would qualify as Horror is beyond me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 750 ✭✭✭The Fitz


    well it was classified as horror, it was banned for ages but i seen it on tg4 a few weeks back

    Yes, have it on DVD and really enjoy it. It was banned, as such, at the director Stanley Kubrick's request when it was blamed for inciting violence. When Kubrick died, it got resubmitted and a new release.

    The only horror element really could be
    the torture scene at the end
    but really it's more of a sci-fi/drama flick.

    It was banned on Kubricks insistance. He felt that the world wasnt ready for the film.
