Most banned film?
 
Is Cannibal Holocaust the film that's banned in most places?

IMDB Certification for Cannibal Holocaust
Banned In:
Nearly 60 Different Countries on Release
--In modertn times now, the ban for Cannibal Holocaust has lessend.

--

I was also told, The Evil Dead came in second and was originally Rated X in both USA and UK and could only be found in adult stores until the re-rating NC-17.

IMDB Certification for The Evil Dead:
Banned In:
Malaysia
UK (1984-1990)
West Germany
Iceland
Ireland
Singapore
+ More

Rated X in a few places, and heavily cut almost every foreign country.

These two are the most banned movies that i've seen appear on IMDB.

Is the information I have here? Cannibal Holocaust and The Evil Dead are the most banned horror film?

I also read somewhere that The Exorcist was to be banned EVERYWHERE as the Pope at the time requested it. Though, this request was not accepted, thought the film is banned anywhere near the Vatican.

Island Of Death is actually the most widely banned film.

"ince its original release, Cannibal Holocaust has been the target of censorship by moral and animal activists. Other than graphic gore, the film contains several scenes of sexual violence and genuine cruelty to animals, issues which find Cannibal Holocaust in the midst of controversy even to this day; in 2006, Entertainment Weekly magazine named Cannibal Holocaust as the 20th most controversial film of all-time.[21] It has also been claimed that Cannibal Holocaust is banned in over 50 countries,[22] though this has never been verified."

Cannibal Holocaust is often given as most widely banned movie too. Exactly which one is more widely banned anyhow?
