The Video Nasties Debate
For those who haven't heard the term, the term 'video nasty' was coined in the 1980's. It refers to 72 horror films that were banned in Britain for their explicit violence. Because there was no real regulation for the content of videos, it meant that filmmakers did not have to face the cuts that the British Board of Film Censors would have imposed on the films in order for them to get a cinema release.
This gives a better overview of the whole thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_n...nity_and_video What are your views on the films and the debate itself? |
Re: UK video nasties!
The Driller Killer's supposed to be a famous one. I think quite a few of them involved a lot of violent rape- some apparantly involved real-life animal cruelty- so be warned.
