Film Synopsis
Video Nasties: Moral Panic, Censorship & Videotape (2010) 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, journalists, academics, politicians, and censorship campaigners reflect on the controversy, the documentary traces the media backlash, legal battles, and political pressures that reshaped British film regulation. This British documentary explores censorship, media influence, and freedom of expression through an examination of one of the most contentious chapters in home video history.
