Do you think there will ever be any more 'R' (18 cert in the UK) movies?

Reason I ask, I was just looking at the trailer for Boogeyman (produced by Sam Rami) - in the 80's this would be a cert for a high rating. The trailer indicates it's that kinda movie (however cliched it may look) yet a look at the IGN listing for it says PG-13? What's the betting Amityville Horror ends up the same way.

I fear the days of on-screen decapitations, angled sharp objects skewering hapless victims ect are long gone...well at least on-screen at least.

Can you imagine if they made Alien or The Thing today? Just as the Norris burster blasts out you get a shitty cutaway and lots of noise but no baby-thing-moster writhing on the ceiling as the now handless Doc lurches back screaming.

they used to be able to get away with it because in the 80s all that shit looked fake as hell, it was almost comical.
