For her feature debut Censor, Welsh writer/director Prano Baily-Bond takes us back to 1985. It's
the height of the 'Video Nasty' era, when Britain's tabloids and politicians
have decided to scapegoat horror movies for the nation's ills.
Niamh Algar plays a film censor who becomes convinced that a
mysterious horror movie holds clues to her sister's unexplained
disappearance.
The film also stars
Nicholas Burns, Vincent Franklin, Sophia La Porta, Adrian Schiller
and Michael Smiley.
Censor is in UK cinemas from June 25th.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
Britain, 1985. When film censor Enid discovers an eerie horror that speaks directly to her sister’s mysterious disappearance, she resolves to unravel the puzzle behind the film and its enigmatic director – a quest that will blur the lines between fiction and reality in terrifying ways. Steeped in glorious 1980s aesthetics, CENSOR is a bloody love letter to the VHS ‘video nasty’ horror classics of the past.
