I think I'll pass on that one.

Yes, that's the one. It's absolutely harrowing.

Although Executions is clearly a shockumentary, it does genuinely seem intended to educate and inform through it's horrifying real footage. I would class it with The Killing Of America rather than the likes of Traces Of Death.

So so so tempting but I've spent so much over the last month so will refrain. For now.

Broke my promise of not ordering anything anymore because I needed to reach the minimum amount for free postage (to Belgium) at Amazon UK...I ordered a replacement battery and card reader for my "new" camera...so had to order another dvd...

This will really be my last order this year though.

I own the sequel but was annoyed when I found out that it's cut. The BBFC website says "Cuts required to remove (1) lingering and close-up details of man being shot repeatedly, his death throes and his mutilated face, (2) entire scene of bloodily wounded man virtually torn in half at waist, and (3) entire scene of two restrained and conscious men having their hands sawn off at wrist. These are in accordance with the Video Recordings Act 1984 (harm to potential viewers or to society through the depiction of mutilation, torture or acts of gross violence towards humans) and BBFC policy (encouraging callousness towards victims and taking pleasure in pain)."

Want to see those bits but have no idea where you can get an uncut version from.

I don't know how many times I've said that or something similar ("I won't buy anything else this month") only to buy a DVD or BD a few days later.

I'm pretty sure everyone here is an addict but doesn't really want to do anything to stop spontaneous purchases from happening!
