"...The Texas Vibrator Massacre, a sex work
based loosely upon the notorious 1974 horror film
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. In the majority
of its scenes the work eroticises sexual and
sexualised violence to a highly significant degree
and, although self-consciously excessive in nature,
the conflation throughout of sexually arousing
material with credible violence, forced sex and
sadistic sexual threat gave rise to a serious
breach of the Board’s policy on sexual violence.
The Board’s Guidelines, under the heading of
‘Rejects’, note that ‘graphic rape or torture’,
‘sadistic violence or terrorisation’ and ‘sex
accompanied by non-consensual pain, injury or
humiliation’ are of particular concern. The explicit
nature of the sexual depictions in this work further
added to these concerns. In addition, scenes of
simulated incest between brother and sister were
in clear breach of the Board’s Guidelines for sex
works, which prohibit ‘material (including
dialogue) likely to encourage an interest in
sexually abusive activity (eg, paedophilia, incest,
rape)’. Given the pervasive theme of sexual
violence and sexual threat, cuts were not viable
and The Texas Vibrator Massacre had to be
rejected."
