Cannibalism is deal-breaker in state funding

Michigan has decided not to provide tax money for the horror film The Woman, a sequel to the icky Offspring.

According to the New York Times, the state's film commissioner,Janet Lockwood, sent the director a note informing him that the film's extreme depictions of "realistic cannibalism; the gruesome and graphically violent depictions described in the screenplay; and the explicit nature of the script" were the main reasons for not providing it tax breaks.

And, oh yes, ""This film is unlikely to promote tourism in Michigan or to present or reflect Michigan in a positive light."
