Review of Video Nasties: Moral Panic, Censorship & Videotape (2010) by James-Masaki R — 25 Nov 2010

In the 1980s when videotapes were the new way to watch films, including zombie films, gory horror films, Italian cannibal films, Naziploitation, and many more, conservative Britain went into moral panic, and effectively had police wrongfully pull many films off the shelves, jail people, and condemn people who supported any of the films in any way.

This is the definitive documentary about how dumb the conservative mindset can be, but also showing their side of the argument too, using new interviews with critics and government officials, and vintage news footage.

As enjoyable as it is, will something like this ever happen again? It's plausible...
