Description

Rare documentary about Video Nasties and film, video and internet censorship in the UK. Was first screened as part of Channel 4's controversial "Banned Weekend" which focused on films and the so called Video Nasties, which were a small group of mainly horror films that were given the Video Nasty tag by the tabloid media, due to their explicit horror content. They were subsequently banned under the 1984 Video Recordings Act.
