Review of Don't Go Near the Park (1979) by Paul J — 24 Apr 2010
Falsely advertised as one of the original 39 banned nasties (it is in fact a lesser nasty compiled from a shortlist of 72 horror movies deemed offensive by the UK censors), nevertheless I couldn't help but be curious.
Suffice to say, it's as bad as you're ever going to get. It certainly falls into the epitome of exploitation flicks, with plenty of unsettling pubescent moments. Strangely, the horror kind of slips away in the latter half and it turns into a TV movie gone horribly wrong.
The trailers also bill it as a zombie movie, which it isn't. Still, for avid nasty collectors, check out the deleted scenes which reveal numerous cuts the censors wouldn't allow.
