Censor Trailer [2021]
Censor riffs on the 1980’s era of Video Nasties, a pre-internet time when horror films were often demonised by the British Board Of Film Censorship, the national press, and culture was vetted by moral guardians like Mary Whitehouse.
This new horror film cleverly trades on Video Nasty VHS visuals and themes as the main character, Enid, searches for her missing sister. Reality and fiction soon blur on her dark inward journey to discover the truth, with a narrative similar to Nicolas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now.
Directed by newcomer Prano Bailey-Bond, Censor is the newly celebrated darling of the Sundance Film Festival and has been tipped as this year’s best horror film. Censor is released on June 25th, 2021. You can watch the trailer below.
