One of this year’s best horror movies so far is Prano Bailey-Bond‘s Censor (now available on VOD), a haunting feature debut that takes you on a nightmarish descent through the lens of the “Video Nasty” panic of the 1980s. It’s one of the few movies this year that I’ve watched more than once, and Meagan recently selected it as her favorite horror film of June 2021.
We’ve learned today that Censor will next be available on DVD and On Demand on September 14 from Magnolia Pictures under the Magnet label. The film, we’re told, “will stream on Apple TV, DirecTV, Google Play, Prime Video, FandangoNOW, and more.”
DVD Special Features include:
- Enid’s Story
- Censors & The Video Nasty
- Sound Design Of Censor
- Design Elements Of Censor
Film censor Enid (Niamh Algar) takes pride in her meticulous work, guarding unsuspecting audiences against the deleterious effects of watching the gore-filled decapitations and eye-gouging she pores over. Her sense of duty to protect is amplified by guilt over her inability to recall details of the long-ago disappearance of her sister, recently declared dead in absentia. When Enid is assigned to review a disturbing film from the archive that echoes her hazy childhood memories, she begins to unravel how this eerie work might be tied to her past.
Meagan Navarro raves in her Bloody Disgusting review, “Bailey-Bond brings an assured, confident vision to a blood-splattered character study, one that feels protective of horror in many ways. Censor is an exciting introduction to another new voice in the genre.”
