For those too young to remember, the "Video Nasties" furore erupted in early Eighties Britain. Outraged by the easy availability of such hard-gore horror movies as Cannibal Holocaust (1980), I Spit on Your Grave (1978) and The Driller Killer (1979), and their supposed corrupting influence on children, the nation's censorious moral guardians drew up a list of seventy-two offending titles that were subsequently banned under the 1984 Video Recordings Act. An act whose origins and implications for civil liberties were arguably scarier than any gory, shoddy horror in the nasties themselves.
Prepare to be corrupted and depraved once more with this definitive guide to the Video Nasties phenomenon - one of the most extraordinary and scandalous eras in the history of British film. For the first time ever on DVD, TRAILERS to all 72 films that fell foul of the Director of Public Prosecutions are featured with specially filmed intros for each title in a lavish three-disc collector's edition box-set, alongside a brand new documentary - VIDEO NASTIES: MORAL PANIC, CENSORSHIP AND VIDEOTAPE.
