[scifinoir2] China Bans Horror Movies?
China Bans Horror Movies? By Alan Stanley Blair There has been some interesting news about the state of affairs in China with regards to horror movies over the last few months, notably the banning of Will Smith’s apocalyptic drama “I Am Legend.” Well, it looks like that was only the beginning as China has now banned all horror movies altogether. Apparently, the country is planning on cleaning up its image a little before the Beijing Olympics which means horror has now been outlawed. Horror Movies is reporting that Producers have been granted only tree weeks to locate offensive material and turn it in to the authorities. What is classed as offensive? Anything featuring “wronged spirits and violent ghosts, monsters, demons, and other inhuman portrayals, strange and supernatural storytelling for the sole purpose of seeking terror and horror,” the administration said. New entertainment guidelines are being introduced as a way to “control and cleanse the negative effect these items have on society, and to prevent horror, violent, cruel publications from entering the market through official channels and to protect adolescents’ psychological health.” In December when news first hit about the release of “I Am Legend” in the country, sources close to the China Film Group – essentially the Chinese equivalent to Hollywood – insisted that the film was banned not because of any scary or questionable content, but because it is an American movie filmed in America. The organization announced that they were implementing a full ban on all American movies in the country in order to create a bigger market for projects produced by the China Film Group. http://www.rabiddoll.com/index.php?p=316
