WORLD PREMIERE - From director Jake West and producer Marc Morris, a brand new in-depth documentary charting the Video Nasties phenomenon and shedding light on one of the most important and scandalous eras in British film history. Taking in the explosion of home video, the erosion of civil liberties, the introduction of draconian censorship measures, hysterical press campaigns and the birth of many careers born in blood, lies and videotape, the documentary also reflects on the shock waves of influence this peculiar epoch still exerts on us today. A companion piece to the Nucleus Films release ‘Video Nasties: The Definitive Guide’, which features every single trailer to the films that fell foul of the Director of Public Prosecutions, dare you watch the shocking truth? Keep repeating it's only a documentary…it's only a documentary!
60 minsDirector: Jake West.
A horror celebrity panel discussion will follow this definitive document of a most extraordinary time.
