In their statement, the BBFC said that “it is the Board’s carefully considered view that to issue a certificate to MURDER-SET-PIECES, even if statutorily confined to adults, would involve risk of harm within the terms of the Video Recordings Act 1984, would be inconsistent with the Board’s Guidelines, and would be unacceptable to the public.The Board considered whether the issue could be dealt with through cuts. Admittedly, this one has a little less story than others, but it is what it is. We have seen those a million times before. But overall, this is a totally forgettable, blood-soaked torture fest. The only things that made me really uncomfortable with Murder-Set-Pieces were the scenes involving the murder and terrorizing of children. Despite this being far more graphic in terms of gore, it was the message and degradation that is constant throughout The Bunny Game that really bothered me more. That being said, I was not as appalled by this as I was by The Bunny Game.
It is gruesome, nasty and tough to watch. It is a gore filled film about torture and murder. In terms of reviewing, it is tough to get mad about anything in here. There is also a slightly longer version, but the films released for home viewing were extremely different from the cinema release. This led Lionsgate, the distributor, to get an R rated home release by cutting a massive 22 MINUTES from the film. The issue is it severely limits the audience who can see it but also when it gets a home release, many large stores refuse to stock NC-17 releases. In the US, the film did get a release at the cinema, but with an NC-17 rating, which is essentially the death knell for any release.
