Review of Video Nasties: Moral Panic, Censorship & Videotape (2010) by Jon N — 01 Jan 2011
I was too young to catch the video nasties panic, but the whole thing was still resonating as I grew up and me and my mates got into horror movies. It's only watching this that you realize just how ridiculous the whole thing was.
The notion that The Evil Dead was once considered a danger to society (including dogs) seems mental now but it actually happened thanks to some very narrowminded people in positions of power (who had somehow managed to watch the movies themselves without getting the least bit stabby).
Informative and funny (and featuring plenty of clips from the movies in question), a must see doc for horror fans.
