Burrowers Eats an "R"

Source:Lionsgate
July 16, 2008


The MPAA saddled J.T. Petty's western creature feature The Burrowers with an R-rating (for violence and gore). This begs the question: Where is it? Months ago, Lionsgate removed the title from it's "coming soon" slate. All has been quiet on the western front since then. It's finished, we're surprised it hasn't hit the festival circuit...

For more on the film, Petty talks with ShockTillYouDrop.com in-depth about Burrowers in this interview.

In other MPAA news, another Lionsgate title, Saw V is rated R (like, duh) for "sequences of grisly bloody violence and torture, language and brief nudity." The anthology horror film Amusement (another one with a release date up in the air) is R for "R (horror violence, terror and disturbing images." And, finally, Anchor Bay's Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer is R "for horror violence and gore, and for language."

I wonder when LIONSGATE is going to release Cabin Fever 2:Spring Fever and Daybreakers?

Charley, unfortunately Lionsgate will probably screw w/ the films you mention since that seems to be their M.O. these days (i.e. Midnight Meat Train, Repo!).

Lionsgate is giving up on straight horror. They are re-branding themselves away from horror and toward action and family films, so most of those (non-SAW) titles will be getting dumped to DVD.

Makes you wonder if they've ever heard of New Line?
