hills have eyes censorship


this film is the 2006 remake of the 1977 horror. both directed by wes craven. the story is that a family traveling across the country is send off road by false directions of a strange man at the gas station. they crash the car in the desert and are attacked by mutants that were previously miners before the 1950's atomic bomb tests.
just like the saw movie this film had cuts to get an R rating in US cinemas. then the uncut version was release on DVD as unrated. it is common for uncut DVD's to be called unrated in USA.
this film had a very high amount of cut scenes compared to most American films, this is due to censorship that is required by law unlike saw which was edited for rating purposes. almost every other scene of violence has a cut and all together there are 31 altered scenes.

example:
the scene which shows a man being burnt to death on a tree had 5 seconds of footage removed. a close up of the arm which shows burning flesh has been removed. and a close up of his face which is shown melting and his eyes going blind from the heat.
