The Lighthouse (Blu-ray Collector's Edition) (HMV Exclusive - First Edition #3) [UK]
- Thread starter Lukesablade

That's exactly 23 seconds - the horse scene. Some kind of strange, because there are so many uncut titles in the UK(Arrow/88Films) but this one they had to cut and it is actually not a horror movie.
It's to do with animal cruelty laws in the UK. Simple as that. Very very strict.
Deliberately tripping horses with wire is seen as animal cruelty and is illegal to show on film in the UK. As much as I like to complain about the BBFC this is something they don't control, they just have to enforce it. A lot of westerns are also cut for this reason.
BFI Screenonline: 1937 Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act
Legislation banning deliberate animal cruelty from cinema films
www.screenonline.org.uk
There is exceptions documentries is excluded as its animals been filmed in their natural setting.
What's not allowed is on purpose putting animals in danger or causing stress to animals.
CGI affects or opitical effects are allowed as this is not actual animals been harmed
There is also some films that it's been allowed as it was a natural event been filmed without been staged
Like the Mongoose sequence in I think Hammer's Stranglers of Bombay but by and large they are very strict.
Is the scene in MadMax3, where the horse ends up in the sand also included in that point with the CGI/Optical effects?
I’m hard pressed to say that this might be my favorite film of 2019, which is a lot because 2019 is probably the most solid and consistent year for movies in the last decade.
Glad to see this movie getting SOME FORM of special treatment.

I'd like have seen a little more love for this film edition wise
Some art cards are not all that special, it's something but for a "HMV Exclusive First" wave, it's a little lacking. May aswell call it the art card range.
I mean slipcases and art cards...

I'm having strong vibes we are gonna see a Premium for this.
Do not know who or when but it could be anything betwixt Eureka all the way up to BF or FAC.
I think it's dang near a given....
Strongest outlier could be P.A. which though lower glitz, still solid.

I think it'll get a premium eventually. Maybe Plain Archive? It's been a while for them.
Sure enough, looks like MLIFE is doing a spec ed.
