The Last Witch Hunter - Censored in UK Cinemas

Vin Diesel Fights Witches - and British Censorship

With his Fast & Furious franchise being successful like never before, Vin Diesel could just chill the rest of the time. But instead, he kills time by killing witches in The Last Witch Hunter. In the UK, the joy about this is tainted, however, since it is yet another film that was censored for the lower 12A release.

This film was originally seen for advice, at which stage the company was informed it was likely to be passed 15 but that their preferred 12A could be achieved by making a number of reductions to moments of violence and horror. When the film was submitted for formal classification, acceptable reductions had been made in these sequences and the film was classified 12A.

By the way: in the US, it got the mass-appealing PG-13 rating. The film starts in the UK on October 21st, 2015.
