Found: The Banned Horror Film So Disturbing It’s Illegal in Several Countries

A 2012 indie horror film titled Found has been gaining notoriety for its extreme content, leading to bans or heavy censorship in several countries, including Australia and the UK. Directed by Scott Schirmer and based on Todd Rigney’s novel, the film explores the disturbing story of a young boy who discovers his older brother is a serial killer. The narrative delves into themes of family, violence, and psychological trauma, featuring intense gore and scenes of sexual violence. In Australia, the film was initially banned and only released after two minutes of footage were removed. In the UK, it was allowed to be distributed only after 98 seconds were cut.

Despite its limited budget, Found has been praised for its impactful storytelling and has developed a cult following among horror enthusiasts. Some viewers have even compared its disturbing nature to that of A Serbian Film, noting that Found offers a compelling narrative beyond mere shock value. The film is available for streaming on Apple TV, though availability may vary depending on regional censorship laws.
