In Spain, Saw VI Is Porn
I’m downright baffled by this, but apparently, if you’re looking to catch Saw VI, which we just reviewed today, in Spain–you’re going to be headed for the red light district. It’s rated X, you see, and that puts it in the same classification as porn.
I personally remember how shocked I was to hear that, back in the late sixties, a similar fate had happened to the original Night of the Living Dead. That sucker plays on early-afternoon network television today, so standards have been at least somewhat relaxed.
There’s not much word out of the Spanish government as to why they’re freaking out quite so epically (is “epically” a word? Well, if it wasn’t already, it is now!), but chances are Lions Gate will take that ball and run with it. “Forbidden in Spain”…”Some countries just can’t handle the horror”…lots of good taglines there.
But what could possibly make Saw VI that objectionable? Well…you’ll find out….
