Christopher WaldeckUnrated What's the big deal?
August 20th 2009 01:21
We've all seen those commercials on television that promote films whether they're terrible or not, but it seems any PG-13 or R Rated film, not just horror is advertised as being unrated. this makes me wonder what the big deal is about unrated. When Unrated began to come out I was fairly interested and so were audiences who were intrigued by the mystery of what was cut from the film in the first place.
This was a really good marketing ploy for movies until we realized that once we watched the theater version versus the unrated version neither one had any difference except for an extra talking scene. This began to tick me off as it now is sold with every movie. I've never seen a dvd film nowadays that isn't slapped with an unrated advertisement. it's cheesy and it makes all of the products look the same when most of them are different. There are only a few films that feature extra worth it footage and the rest are completely garbage and cheesy.
I must ask distributors if they still think that they're fooling everyone with these films that have almost no difference from their originals because they are the originals. What's worse is that most of the unrated movies suck because they're the same exact crap that was made in the first place. There's no extra gore, sex or anything remotely of value to make the film seem better or more extreme. It's just producers feeding off of our emotions of wanting to see an unfiltered horror film that really is filtered by the company who smirks every time they see their studio advertised on film like Sunset Boulevard is their own house of mirrors.
We are once again being enslaved by the commercialism taking advantage of our desires for uncut and underground films that are the filmmakers vision whether the movie sucks or not. it's too the point where those films don't even exist anymore because Hollywood has branded it again under a tacky brand.
If you're looking to see a real unrated film I'd suggest watching Cannibal Holocaust or an art house film from some other country that isn't afraid to go the extra limits that Hollywood is too terrified to go which makes it's fake unrated label a label of true hypocrisy.
