I cant watch video nasties based on true events - atrocities dont do it for me!
Fantasy is far more entertaining IMO.

Some of these movies are available locally (eg Last House on the Left, Zombie Holocaust, Cannibal Ferox, Cannibal Holocaust, I Spit on Your Grave, Tenebrae, Zombie Flesh Eaters, Snuff, Flesh For Frankenstein, The Beyond, Blood Feast, Evil Dead, Driller Killer, etc). Amazon will satisfy your craving for many others.

The right column of the article has links to many of them at either the Amazon US or UK site.

Not sure if any are still banned in Australia, but some definitely were (eg Cannibal Holocaust until last year...)

Video Nasties: The Definitive Guide

It was an era that remains notorious to this day and gave Sam Raimi some widespread publicity when he was just a young kid making goofy horror films in the backwoods of Michigan.

Now the Video Nasty era is subject of a new collection and documentary. Video Nasties: The Definitive Guide directed by Jake West and Marc Morris, which is released by Nucleus Films on 1st November.

The film-makers cut together 72 horror films that were successfully prosecuted for corrupting the nation. The folks over at FilmShaft have seen it and they can firmly say it’s a brilliant and intelligent montage of not particularly brilliant and intelligent cinema. But there in lies the mystery and repulsion.

If you want the version longue there’s a four hour cut featuring intros from leading horror critics like the ace Kim Newman and Alan Jones. Also on the extra features is a feature-length documentary VIDEO NASTIES: MORAL PANIC, CENSORSHIP & VIDEOTAPE. So if you know your SS Experiment Camp from your Driller Killer, you’ll be in gorehound heaven.

Jake West, director of the documentary and co-owner of Nucleus Films, says:

Quote:
“The Video Nasties era was the most shameful time in British film history that lead to the Video Recordings Act being enforced under false information. People went to prison and lost their livelihoods because of what happened and that, unfortunately, still has a bearing on what is going on today. Hopefully, what Marc (Morris) and I have served up is a pleasurable but timely reminder that we need to be aware of the kind of rhetoric being used around issues of censorship”.
Check out the trailer and repeat to yourself: it’s only a video montage, it’s only a video montage, it’s only… you get the idea...

I love this piece of history - it was very much part of my youth...I did my college dissertation on this and the 90's witch hunt being used to fuel Media moral Panics...

Must get this - I love Kim Newman..

Thanks for the heads-up on this one, ___V___.

Looks like it would be an interesting viewing. I have been interested in the "video nasties" history, probably because Australia still struggles with a fairly draconian censorship.

It would be interesting to get an insight into some of the "video nasty" films that I haven't managed to see yet.

The list continues, but I'll post more as the thread goes on. :)
