The Woman in Black (2012) - May 22nd

[AlexSing]

The distributors and studio wanted this to have a 12A rating in the UK so the BBFC asked them to not only cut scenes out but adjust the sound levels at the "jump" scenes and even adjust some of the colour timing*

They did and that's how the movie was given the 12A rating in the UK (also happened in other countries). Apparently the Blu Ray/DVD release will be an "uncut" andfar scarier version


*taken from an interview with the head of the BBFC given to the Mayo and Kermode's film review podcast from BBC Radio 5 Live. You should all actually listen to this every week - free on itunes

I'm getting this for sure. I just finished watching The Others and last night I watched The Skeloten Key, so yeah I like this kind of movies.

Oh, really? That is very interesting. So they are doing a R-rated version for the home release?

More like an original cut and in the US I guess it will have the equivalent of the UK's 15 rating.

I hope so. I thought the film was good, but lacked a bit. I bet this will push it over for me.

Day 1! bring it on!!!

Blind buy for me. I was excited to see it before it came out but the trailer looked awful. Then the positive reviews came out so I'm excited again.

Was a very good ghost movie, nice to Hammer back doing gothics the right way. A bit many jump-scares (loud bursts of noise and such) -- I wonder if the "cut" UK version might actually work better in this regard.
