A DVD extra for The Howling has been totally rejected by the BBFC! ******************************************************************************
THE HOWLING - FAKE PORN MOVIE Video Feature Rejected 19 March,2004. Run Time Not Known
THE HOWLING - FAKE PORN MOVIE is a bonus feature intended for use on the DVD release of THE HOWLING. It consists of two silent sequences showing women being sexually assaulted. Brief extracts from these sequences, avoiding the most explicit and graphic elements, were employed in the film THE HOWLING during a scene set in a sex shop. In the context of the film the clips served to illustrate the degenerate nature of one of the characters. The sequences (which were specially created for the film) are presented here in their entirety and divorced from their original context. In the first sequence, a woman is assaulted by three men on top of a car bonnet. In the second sequence a woman is tied to a bed, stripped and raped by one of the men and sexually assaulted with a wooden handle. Both sequences exploit sexual violence in a titillatory and pornographic fashion.
The Board's classification Guidelines clearly set out our serious concerns about the portrayal of sexual violence in films and videos and highlight the unacceptability of portrayals which eroticize sexual assault. The bonus feature was therefore rejected.

I`m anti-censorship, but I agree with the BBFC here. I don`t want to see sexual violence. It`s the reason I don`t want to see films such as Baise Moi. Real or not, this is one of the very few things I won`t watch.
