Synopsis
Ban the Sadist Videos! (2005) centers on the moral panic that erupted in Britain during the early 1980s as horror and exploitation films became widely available on home video. As filmmakers, critics, journalists, distributors, and censorship campaigners revisit the controversy, the documentary traces the media backlash, political pressure, and legal action that placed dozens of films at the centre of a national debate. This British documentary explores censorship, media influence, and freedom of expression as it examines one of the defining controversies in home video history.
