i saw that video too. I was an avid watcher of videos in the 80's and then it came out that they were all actually snuff movies. It was a real shocker

Which ones? It was proved in court that all the Video Nasties that hinted at snuff were mainly fake. Baring weird sh!t like that Faces of Death, which was half real and marketed as a "documentary"

oh, i have no idea

At that time though, it put huge doubt in your mind about what you were watching, so i basically stopped watching horror movies unless they were obviously upmarket

Yes that was the attraction of seeing them, that someone actually died. Now can just look at Kaotic.com every day!

But literally every Video Nasty, barring Faces of Death, never had people actually dying. That's the misconception with Video Nasties. Don't get me wrong, a lot were just plain sh!t. But no one died for real.

The Tories had an agenda and just wanted things they didn;t like banned, or stuff that offended them. It's what the left are doing now.

They really were crap. I have watched (or half watched) a lot of the DPP 39 movies and they are really laughable now. A lot were just nasty for the sake of it.

Yeah i made it a thing of mine to try and see all 39 Section 1 DPP's banned films. And the 42 Section 2. I've seen most of them. Most really are rubbish

Madhouse was ok. Driller Killer is very punk NYC grunge, very atmospheric, not bad at all. Nightmares in a Damaged Brain was crazy, but i kinda liked it. The Cannibal ones never really appealed to me. The Burning shows on the Horror Channel every other week now lol.

But yeah, none are very good really.

Have you seen the Video Nasties Definitive Guide Documentaries? They're really good actually.

I didn't like the Cannibal ones either or the Nazi ones - but The Beast in Heat was one of the most rare so most expensive. My ex had an original pre-cert video sleeve of it but only had a copy of the film. Driller Killer is probably the one I watched that I enjoyed the most.

We had the Jake West documentaries which were interesting (more to him than me lol).

Oh wow, yeah that is a very desired Video Nasty for collectors!! Driller Killer really is a decent film. It got soooo much sh!t at the time though, mainly for his cover art, which is extreme, granted.

Yep, the Jake West ones. Oh i love them i've watched them both a few times The first one is worth about £40 on ebay now too.
