One of the most startlingly original horrors in years, this dark and twisted debut from filmmaker Prano Bailey-Bond is a truly disquieting experience -even for the more hardened fans of the genre. Staying with you long after the lights come up, Censor is a disturbing and unforgettable journey through the ‘video nasty’ era of 1980s Britain led by a mesmerising Niamh Algar (Calm with Horses).
The film has earned a truly lavish – and much deserved – Limited Edition Blu-ray release from Second Sight Films. We took a closer look…
Synopsis
Enid is a film censor during Britain’s infamous ‘video nasty’ era of the 80s. After her latest viewing has a disturbingly familiar storyline, she attempts to solve the past mystery of her sister’s disappearance and embarks on a quest that dissolves the line between fiction and reality.
