Prior to the establishment of state censorship implemented in the Video Recordings Act of 1984, censorship was in the realms of the courts and the Obscene Publications Act. This required the courts to apply the test of whether videos were likely to "deprave and corrupt" the viewer. The Director Of Public Prosecutions maintained a list of those videos that were felt likely to be found obscene by the courts and hence worthwhile prosecuting. Of course, the real drivers behind the list were the UK press led by the ever obnoxious Daily Mail.

Several versions of the list were published and the following reflects all videos that made it to the list at some time. Many were eventually removed reducing the list to the 39 titles that were successfully prosecuted.

Video Nasty now released uncut as Night Train Murders

The uncut region 2 DVD is available at UK Amazon

Night Train Murders is a 1975 Italian horror film by Aldo Lado.
The DVD was passed for the first time in 2008 and is uncut. It has now been released on the Shameless label.

The film was a notable entry on the banned video nasties list under the title Late Night Trains.
Drug crazed nutters mug a Father Christmas then move onto to terrorise and murder a couple of young girls on a train (Irene Miracle). The girls' parents inflict some retribution
Review from US Amazon
I agree that while this film borrowed heavily from Last House on the Left, Night Train Murders is the better of the two. Good production values, excellent cinematography, an Ennio Morricone score, decent acting and a tight script, set Night Train Murders above Last House and other films of this type.
The first third of the film introduces the main characters and then gets them on a train (the night before Christmas) that is full of odd, quirky travelers - most of whom seem to be prone to indulging in one perversion or another.
The "defilement" section of the film is a gripping, harrowing affair that escalates in viciousness before climaxing in a very brutal fashion.
The final act does not live up to the scenes that precede it. I was expecting a truly grisly and horrific conclusion. However, the director's desire to keep from glamorizing violence is probably why the ending feels somewhat restrained.

BBFC cuts waived to Last House on the Left

Thanks to Andy & Chris
See full article from the BBFC
See further details

Last House on the Left is a seminal 1972 US horror film by Wes Craven.

The BBFC have now waived their cuts when the DVD was submitted in 2008 by Second Sight Films.

Previously Blue Underground released the video after 31s of BBFC cuts in 2002. Further video releases from Anchor Bay followed in 2003 that have been edited differently but have retained the BBFC mandated cuts

The BBFC justified their cuts as follows:

Cuts required to humiliation of woman forced to urinate, violent stabbing assault on woman and removal of her entrails, and woman's chest carved with a knife.
An appeal against the cuts proved unsuccessful.

Interestingly the UK Anchor Bay release includes a DVD extra showing the deleted footage as a series of stills. (BBFC censorship only applies to video material).
The video was previously banned by the BBFC in 2001 and was twice rejected for a cinema release in 1974 & 2000.
It was released on video in the early 80s but was promptly banned as a video nasty

28th January	Update:	Debased Sunday Times Opinion...

	Video Nasties return to the gutter press
	From a leader in the Sunday Times see full article See also the Express with same story rehashed The uncut region 0 DVD is available at UK Amazon
	There have been many changes in our censorship laws over the years that are to be welcomed. Allowing directors� greater freedom, whether with sexual imagery and language, has hardly been shown to have damaged society, despite some of the fierce battles fought at the time and which rumble on today. Out of this liberalism has emerged a more creative environment and a more realistic depiction of modern life. What is challenging the boundaries now is the scale and reach of pornography on the internet. Just by the sheer ease with which it can be accessed, it is beginning to enter the cultural mainstream and impinge on the lives of children. This is clearly a development that should be abhorred and stopped as far as possible, but in the end it may simply come down to parents being evermore vigilant. Whether this has influenced the attitudes of censors remains unclear. Asked about the film SS Experiment Camp, which is on sale in the high street alongside U classified movies, the BBFC said there is nothing in this film that anybody should have any concerns about. The film depicts women being raped, electrocuted, hung upside down, having their ovaries cut out and burnt alive in incineration chambers by guards dressed in Nazi uniforms. That does sound �concerning�. While censorship should have to make its case, there must be a sensitivity towards survivors of the death camps and their relatives. Depicting the Holocaust as a Jewish invention rightly causes vilification. Why should depicting concentration camps as movie backdrops for sexual violence suddenly be acceptable? This film was banned 20 years ago and there seems no strong argument to have it lifted. Gordon Brown will meet a delegation of MPs to discuss toughening the laws on video nasties amid worries about the influence they have on young people. These arguments may be inconclusive but Mr Brown would be wise to restrict the market in violent pornography. Comment: We've Heard it All Before...25 Years Ago Thanks to Julian Time is running backwards. This is all part of Nutter Brazier's campaign, and we can expect more of this nonsense in the press in the run-up to his Bill. And, of course, it was the Sunday Times which sparked off the video nasty furore in the first place with articles about ... SS Experiment Camp.

Absurd aka Anthropophagous 2 Rosso Sangue Horrible	1981 Italian video by Joe D'Amato The anthropophagous beast goes on a killing and cannibalism spree including power tool murders, a hatchet job and baking someone's head in an oven. In return the beast suffers his guts unravelling on railings, blinding by compasses and an axe in the head.	Passed 18 with cuts for a cinema release
The Anthropophagous Beast aka Anthropophagous Anthropophagus Antropofago The Grim Reaper Man Eater Man Beast Savage Island Gomia, Terror en el Mar Egeo	1980 Italian video by Joe D'Amato Gruesome killing & cannibalism including stomping on the bellies of pregnant women so as to snack on their fetuses. As a finale, the beast dies after eating his own intestines. Review from Amazon US Finally! Now we'll have it as it was supposed to be. I've been waiting for this moment for so many years! Now "Anthropophagus" may not be a masterpiece but it has become a cult classic very long time ago. This film has some gruesome scenes and really horrific atmosphere - a dreamy one like in many Italian horrors. I repeat it may not have a big cultural value but you MUST have it on your shelf if you call yourself a horror buff	The cut US version, The Grim Reaper was passed by the BBFC in 2002. It was released uncut in 2005 on region 1 DVD available at US Amazon
Axe aka California Axe Massacre California Axe Murders Lisa Lisa the Axe Murders	1977 US video by Frederick R Friedel Murderous gangsters on the run descend on isolated farm inhabited by girl & her paralysed father. The girl rejects amorous advances with the assistance of an axe and a razor. Review from imdb A gang of three murderers escape the police, terrorize a salesgirl in a roadside grocery store, then proceed to hide-out in a seemingly deserted farmhouse. They soon discover that a young girl, Lisa, and her paralyzed grandfather live there. The gang attempt some sleazy deeds, but Lisa shows how she can work an axe in self-defense. Even though this movie is EXTREMELY low-budget and is only around 60 minutes long, it is still another example of how a low-budget can help a movie. The acting isn't always the best, but Leslie Lee is considerably creepy as Lisa the axe murderess. Filmed in North Carolina at a deserted farmhouse, the atmosphere is very isolated, like the farmhouse in NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. The movie doesn't really go anywhere, but it is a classic of its own kind and the soundtrack should be enshrined on CD.

The Beast In Heat
aka

SS Hell Camp
La bestia in calore

1977 Italian film by Luigi Batzella

Lady SS doctor tortures POWs in her charge and feeds the females to a crazed midget troll kept on a diet of mega-aphrodisiacs. The POWs finally get the upper hand and give her a taste of her own medicine.

Amazon Review:

Ahhh, the good old days when absolutely nothing was safe or sacred to the exploitation movie merchants.... Here we have, in my opinion, probably the most tasteless example of the Naziploitation picture, a genre that more or less died shortly after this "movie". Most would probably agree that that is a good thing.

Anyway, about the movie. For the uninitiated, start with Ilsa - She Wolf of the SS. If you can "enjoy" that bit of nastiness, then perhaps consider taking on this "unique" take on a forgotten film genre. Just don't watch it with your mom or girlfriend or aunt or grandma etc...

The Bogey Man aka Ulli Lommel's Boogeyman The Boogey Man	1980 US video by Ulli Lommel Various killings precipitated by domestic objects aided by the power of the occult. Review from imdb I was surprised that this movie got such a low rating, to me it's one of the better horror films I've seen in some time. Ulli Lommel allows the horror in this story to gradually build until it erupts in very frightening and disturbing and occasionally blackly comic ways. The boogeyman's appearances in the film are effectively kept very brief, he doesn't become a silly charactor of the Freddy/Jason mould. Ulli lommel keeps the location barren and banal and uses them in inventive ways. The scenes in which the disturbed deaf brother paints over every mirror in the house is brilliant and foreshadows a lot of scenes in clean-shaven.

Cannibal Apocalypse aka Apocalisse Domani The Cannibals are in the Streets Invasion of the Flesh Hunters Savage Apocalypse Slaughterers Cannibals in the City	1980 Italian/Spanish video by Anthony M Dawson Cannibalism has become a disease brought back to the US by soldiers returning from Indo-China. French kissing becomes inadvisable as the plague spreads. Amazon Review: Interesting and disgusting mix of horror and action from the director of Castle of Blood Antonio Margheriti. What makes it work is that there is some nasty gore scenes like the infamous shotgun wound scene and eating chunks out of human flesh, a cool if cheesy funk soundtrack with a war theme that almost sounds like the theme to "G.I. Joe", a grisly twist in the end and the film is also a metaphore on how the horrors of vietnam can affect a soldier and this is one of Quentin Taratino's personal faves.

Cannibal Ferox aka Cannibal Feroz Make them Die Slowly Let them Die Slowly Woman from Deep River Die Rache der Kannibalen	1981 Italian video by Umberto Lenzi Drug dealers run amok amongst cannibal tribes who eventually gain the upper hand with grim results.

Prior to the VRA, the BBFC unofficially approved a cut 18 video version (by about 7mins). This never became an official post VRA certificate as both this and the uncut version were prosecuted.

Cannibal Holocaust aka Cannibal Massaker Holocausto Cannibal Nackt und Zerfeischt	1979 Italian film by Ruggero Deodato Film crew sent into the jungle captures some pretty gruesome local customs and then go on to indulge in a little raping and killing themselves. The natives strike back and the film crew are beaten, castrated, stripped down to their skeletons and eaten. This film suffered repeated outrageous claims of being a snuff movie by the ever-ludicrous gutter press. This can only be a testament to the quality of the film as the TV film crew's demise is presented solely from news footage that they have supposedly shot. Review from imdb Cannibal Holocaust was, first and foremost, a disgusting movie with more violence than I have ever seen. Despite this, it is also one of my favorite movies. It gives a feeling of Blair Witch done right, even though there are some very obviously contrived scenes in which nobody is holding the camera, but despite some small cosmetic problems this is the best horror movie I have ever seen. Unlike most "shock" films, such as the Guinea Pig movies, Cannibal Holocaust has a very well written plot and a definite progression. The focus is still on making the audience ill, but we don't even see any violence until fairly late in the movie, so the emphasis on plot is much stronger. The story told is a deep one, showing the lengths at which people will go for some goal, the example given being fame and fortune. The theme is reflected in parallel story lines through the second half of the movie, as Alan and his crew go to more and more desperate lengths for fame, and the professor struggles against a big media company to suppress the release of their footage. Even in a "meta" sense, we see the theme appear once again in the lengths the director of Cannibal Holocaust itself went, going so far as to kill and butcher four animals on camera.

Deep River Savages aka Il Paese del sesso selvaggio The Man from Deep River Nel Paese del Sesso Selvaggi Au Pays del'Exorcisme Mondo Cannibale sacrifice	1972 Italian video by Umberto Lenzi Forerunner of Cannibal Ferox set in South East Asian cannibal infested jungles. Tongue amputations are the order of the day after snacking on traditionally served monkey brains. Review from imdb I liked this one strictly for its exoticness. Me Me Lay looks great dressed or naked. She has a great face. I have the Prism edition video. That one is missing a brief cannibal scene that later showed up in Lenzi's Eaten Alive by the Cannibals. The cinematography was well done and I may catch some heat for this but I actually liked the music. The love scene in the river came very close to XXX. A well placed bush (no pun intended) kept it soft-core. Not much gore, so jungle flick fans should like it. I know I did.

Don't Go in the Woods aka Don't Go in the Woods Alone	1980 US video by James Bryan Victims are garrotted, stabbed, impaled and have various limbs lopped off Review from imdb I rented this movie, hoping to find a good movie. It was... if you're into comedy! This movie had deadpan acting, no storyline at ALL (a maniac roaming around, killing people for no reason, which may not be THAT bad), and a stupid looking killer (when he's being stabbed at the end, it looks as though his chest is made of brick, or is that CARDBOARD?). The gore was supplemental, however, and I always recommend this movie for a laugh (in fact, I rented it again just to show my friend how bad it was!). It kept me laughing however and the ending hinted towards a sequel.... maybe it would be better around now? This movie gets a definite 2 out of 10 since it kept me laughing.

Don't Go Near the Park aka Nightstalker	1979 US video by Lawrence D Foldes Vampire cavemen sentenced to eternal life for blood drinking, incest & cannibalism are rejuvenated in the modern day. Review from imdb Now I've seen my fair share of garbage over the years. Hell, I admit to actively seeking it out. But nothing prepared me for this little wonder. Everything about this film goes way beyond amateur, from the 'old person' make up, to the Persian rug cavemen clothes, to the dissolve shot ageing FX. The lighting is abysmal; spot lights are shone straight into the set giving each shot an early silent film style ring of shadow around the edge of the shot. The acting is appalling, especially from the grimacing Crackers Phinn. The plot progresses at bizarre speeds, some scenes dragging on for way too long and other plot points zooming past at top speed. Despite all of the above (or perhaps because of it) I love this movie. I really could bang on about it for days but I won't. If you ever find a copy (which isn't easy) you have to see it. I defy you to find anything worse in such a truly wonderful way. Oh yeah, there's a 'shock' ending too. Marvellous.	Removed from the DPP list. Passed 18 uncut when submitted in 2006.

The Driller Killer	1979 US film by Abel Ferrara Power tools only make a brief appearance in the film but the cover picture of a power drill boring into a guys forehead probably started the press baying for blood.

The Evil Dead aka Book of the Dead	1982 US video by Sam Raimi Teenagers battle and lose to the spirits unleashed from the Book of the Dead. Notable rape of girl by marauding tree roots. Review from imdb Raimi is already a legend, because he created 'The Evil Dead', without a doubt one of the greatest horror movies of all time. Made on a shoe string budget as a labour of love, it still remains Raimi's best movie. He has subsequently worked on bigger projects with bigger names but it is arguable whether he has ever surpassed the invention, thrills, energy and sheer fun of this. And why Bruce Campbell never became a genuine movie star after his debut here, and not just a much loved cult figure, is a complete mystery to me. 'The Evil Dead' is a modern horror classic and absolutely ESSENTIAL viewing for any self-respecting movie buff! It doesn't get much better than this!

Fight for Your Life aka Bloodbath at 1313 Fury Drive Getting Even Held Hostage I Hate Your Guts Staying Alive	1977 Canadian video by Robert A Endelson Strange entry in the list in that most of the video is taken up by talking about vengeance rather than getting on with the job. From www.imdb.com: Three escaped convicts seek refuge at the home of a black minister and his family, there the family is humiliated and beaten.

The Gestapo's Last Orgy aka L'Ultima Orgia del III Reich Bourreaux SS Last Orgy of the Third Reich Des Filles pour le Bourreau Caligua Reincarnated as Hitler	1977 Italian video by Cesare Canevari Bannable scenes include girls being dunked in quick-lime, girls fellating pistols and sodomising the commandant with the butt of a whip. Review from Amazon US about a 2004 DVD version Caligula Reincarnated as Hitler was way better than what I expected. Just the exceptional location of Northern Italy's lake district gives it one star. Furthermore, the young blonde star of the film is gorgeous and someone both men and women would find attractive to sleep with. There are some five star sexual violence scenes that are unfortunately too brief. Beatings, whippings, gang raping of women prisoners, dipping naked women into vats of lime, hanging the young blonde star nude and upside down over a box of live rats! I mean, hey you "sicko" Nazi fans, is this something or what? There are no actual hard core sex scenes, however, there are multiple simulated sex scenes that are quite hot to watch. I think there is significant sexual tension in scenes throughout this very good storyline. If you are into the whole "Nazi sex slave camp" thing....this is by far, the best of that genre I have come across. And because I only paid $9.99 for this double feature...it makes it a 5 star film for me by all catagories. I am curious if there is an unrated or extra cut film out there of this, as another reviewer hinted at? If so, and they showed more actual sex, that would be the one to purchase.

The House by the Cemetery aka Quella Villa Accanto al Cimitero The House Outside the Cemetery	1981 Italian video by Lucio Fulci Apparently praised by the Sunday Times for its constraint but still includes decapitation, stabbing in the head, scalping, a throat ripping, a bat attack and more. The banned video had already been cut to remove the decapitation of the baby sitter and most of the violence committed with a poker. Review from US Amazon This is the third in a loose trilogy of films by Italian master of the macabre Lucio Fulci set in New England that evoke the uncanny and cosmic terrors of H.P. Lovecraft. The other two films City of the Living Dead and The Beyond are quite a bit better than House by the Cemetery, but that doesn't mean this film is totally without merit. At times Fulci succeeds very well in creating an atmosphere of dread and fear, and the film is not without some subtle moments of terror, due mainly to an eerie soundtrack and a couple of creepy kids. But fans of Fulci and Italian horror cinema in general are not interested in the type of subtle scares one might find in English ghost stories; instead his films are marked by unusual levels of graphic violence. Although this film is not without its moments (throats ripped out, maggot ridden bodies and decapitation), the violence seems quite muted compared to other Fulci films. Fulci is perhaps aiming too strongly for the atmosphere of Lovecraft, and subsequently forgets to invest in his film the graphic and absurdly violent scenes which have afforded his work a cult following. The film as is usually the case with Fulci makes little sense and is full of continuity errors, its difficult to know whether this is down to bad editing, or an intentional effort to create an uncanny world in which time and space are confused, personally I prefer the latter possibility. There has always been something dream like and hallucinatory about Italian horror cinema and this film doesn't disappoint on that level.	First passed 18 after 4:45s of cuts in 1988.

House on the Edge of the Park aka La Casa Speruta Nel Parco La Casa al Confini del Parco Der Schlitzer	1979 Italian video by Ruggero Deodato Class warfare, retards are invited to rich kids party for ritual humiliation, retards extract revenge by robbing, raping and pissing on the rich kids. Eventually the rich kids get the upper hand and the retards get it. Review from US Amazon: Interesting yet Chilling A couple of trouble making rapists Alex and Ricky( David Hess from "Last House on The Left" and John Morghen from "Cannibal Ferox") who are invited to a rich person's party until they decide to make their own cruel and twisted kind of fun such as murder and rape. A harsh and unsettling Italian horror thriller from director Ruggero Deodato ( known for the infamous immoral "Cannibal Holocaust") has definitely know how to shock his audience. The acting isn't all that great but the music is good with a funky disco song, some gory violence with torture, nudity, and sleaze abound, this is definitely a interesting yet chilling film.	Removed from the DPP list but banned from a cinema release by the BBFC in 1981. Finally passed 18 with heavy cuts in 2002 The uncut region 1 DVD is available from US Amazon

I Spit on Your Grave aka Day of the Woman	1978 US video by Meir Zarchi Perhaps one of the most famous of the video nasties probably because it is one of the better films on the list.

Armed with resolve and intelligence Keaton avenges herself by chopping up, hanging, drowning and castrating her tormentors.

Island of Death aka Ta Pedhia tou dhiavolou A Craving for Lust Cruel Destination Devils in Mykonos Island of Perversion Psychic Killer 2	1972 US/Greek video by Nico Mastorakis Saga of bestiality, incest & torture. Women and goats are raped, people are pissed on and nailed to the floor. Lesbians are torched and homosexuals are forced to drink paint. Review from imdb Island of Perversion is a rough diamond from the deep seas of sickness, another gem from 1970s - the golden age of Grindhouse and exploitation! A film where you can still smell the dirt from the backyard and railway station cinemas it was shown in! But it�s a great one, I enjoyed every second of it! The story is about two totally weird siblings who travel to Mykonos to free the peaceful Greek island from all those who are perverted scum in their eyes: gays, lesbians, nymphomaniacs, hippies... Unfortunately, the version that I watched was cut, so I didn�t have the chance to see the notorious goat-rape! Even though the violence is not that graphic in this film, the director seemed to be possessed by the ambition to make one of the most depraved movies ever! Loved the bad surprise ending!	Was passed X with cuts for the cinema as A Craving for Lust Heavily cut video version renamed Psychic Killer 2 was rejected by the BBFC. Passed with heavy cuts in 2002 The uncut region 0 DVD is available here from US Amazon
The Killer Nun aka Deadly Habit Suor Omicidi	1978 Italian video by Giulio Berruti Patients are killed in a variety of exotic ways, perforated with pins, kicked to death, thrown out of window etc. These deaths resemble accounts of martyrdom often told by a drunkard, dopehead, lecherous old nun, Anita Ekberg. Also includes a bit of lesbian nun depravity. Amazon review What a great job Blue Underground have done as usual to restore it. This is a good film and anyone familiar with the exploitation sub-genre of nunsploitation will recognise this as a stand out film. There are some very atmospheric set pieces in the film Anita Ekberg's flashbacks and the giallo inspired murder of the old woman. I just wish we had the original italian soundtrack. As is usual with dubbed films it detracts from the power of the film by having cheesy actors do the overdubs. Some of the editing is a bit sloppy but Italian exploitation fans are well used to this. The gorgeous Paola Morra is worth the price of the film alone. Well worth checking out.	Passed uncut in 2006 The BBFC commented in their 2006 Annual Report: Killer Nun had required cuts to remove some scenes of sadistic torture on video in 1993, but these now appeared dated and lacked the power to shock or harm and so it was passed without cuts. The uncut region 2 DVD is available at UK Amazon for release on 26th Nov 2007. The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon
The Last House on the Left aka Krug & Company The Men's Room Night of vengeance Sex Crime of the Century	1972 US video by Wes Craven Two girls are kidnapped by escaped prisoners and are subjected to sexual humiliation, razor torture, rape, disembowelments and shooting. The parents of one girl avenge their death by chainsaw, throat cutting and castration. Review from imdb While I think that people tend to get a bit hyperbolic when they talk about The Last House on the Left, I do think it's a fairly good film, especially given what the filmmakers were trying to do and considering their lack of experience, the era and the budget. Also, despite a filmic precursor, it just may be the earliest example of the horror subgenre of "brutal, realist tragedy" (that's more a description than a name, but I haven't spent much time trying to come up with a catchy moniker). However, it has flaws that would be difficult to overlook in a "distanced" (rather than "objective" or "unbiased", neither of which I think are possible) assessment of the film. But again, focusing on that amounts to hype now, and shouldn't be taken too seriously, lest it lead to inflated expectations. Just as surprising on a first viewing is that The Last House on the Left has an intermittent goofy sense of humor and a "groovy" attitude that is firmly mired in the early 1970s. The two policemen are really comic relief characters (and very funny at that), but there is also a lot of humor surrounding the criminal quartet--this almost becomes a "black comedy" at times. These sensibilities even extend to the music, which has a frequent hillbilly edge and lyrics that supply ex-positional material. Surprisingly, Hess, who plays Krug, wrote the music.	Rejected for a cinema release in 1974 and again in 2000. However it achieved an arthouse circuit release in 2000. But a subsequent video release was rejected in 2001 Re-released on video after 31s of BBFC cuts in 2002. An appeal against the cuts proved unsuccessful Further video & DVD releases from Anchor Bay have been edited differently but have maintained the BBFC cuts Finally passed 18 uncut by the BBFC in 2008 The uncut region 1 DVD is available from US Amazon
Late Night Trains aka L'Ultimo Treno della Notte Don't Ride on Late Night Trains Night Train Murders Torture Train L'ultimo treno della notte Night Train - Der Letzte Zug in der Nacht The New House on the Left	1975 Italian film by Aldo Lado Drug crazed nutters mug a Father Christmas then move onto to terrorise and murder a couple of young girls on a train (Irene Miracle). The girls' parents inflict some retribution Review from US Amazon I agree that while this film borrowed heavily from Last House on the Left, Night Train Murders is the better of the two. Good production values, excellent cinematography, an Ennio Morricone score, decent acting and a tight script, set Night Train Murders above Last House and other films of this type. The first third of the film introduces the main characters and then gets them on a train (the night before Christmas) that is full of odd, quirky travelers - most of whom seem to be prone to indulging in one perversion or another. The "defilement" section of the film is a gripping, harrowing affair that escalates in viciousness before climaxing in a very brutal fashion. The final act does not live up to the scenes that precede it. I was expecting a truly grisly and horrific conclusion. However, the director's desire to keep from glamorizing violence is probably why the ending feels somewhat restrained.	Passed 18 uncut in 2008 as Night Train Murders The uncut region 1 DVD is available from US Amazon The uncut region 2 DVD is available at UK Amazon
The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue aka The Living Dead Breakfast at the Manchester Morgue Don't Open the Window Let Sleeping Corpses Lie No Profanar el Sueno de los Muertos Fin de Semana Para los Meurtos Non si Deve Profanare il Sonno dei Morti Weekend Per i Morti Le Massacre des Morts-Vivants Invasion der Zombies Zombi 3 Da Dove Vieni Das Leichenhaus der Lebenden Toten	1974 Italian/Spanish video by Jorge Grau Various members of the community are disembowelled and eaten. Then the heroes fight back. Amazon review: Watching this film was a real treat as it was devoid of the usual American teenage students being slaughtered and was even filmed here in the U.K. It's full of 1960's/70's kitsch and the hero's even drive a real British Mini, a link copied in a recent advertisement campaign! The picture quality is excellent so you can see the Zombies in all their lurid excellence and so are the extra's and packaging. If you only ever buy one Zombie movie, make it this one!

Night of the Bloody Apes aka La Horror Pilante Bestia Humana The Horrible Human Beast Horror and Sex Horror y Sexo Gomar the Human Gorilla	1970 Mexican video by Rene Cordona Jr Ape to human organ transplants cause recipients to become beastlike and murderous. Cheesy gore effects include eye gouging and scalping. From www.imbd.com The Mexican producers filmed a "special" edition of the film (sometimes called Horror y Sexo) for more tolerant foreign markets, adding scenes of nudity and extreme gore not present on the Mexican prints. The film has an interesting history in the UK. It was released in cinemas with around a minute of cuts in October 1974. It was subsequently released on video in the early -Eighties possibly uncut, however this release was banned and withdrawn in the mid-Eighties. In the early Nineties it was passed by the UK censors with cuts but whoever got hold of this tape (released by Vipco video) were in for a surprise at it was accidentally re-released intact, before it was withdrawn yet again. In 1999 it was released by Satanica video, in a version that was obviously taken from Vipco's planned cut version (Vipco's logo remains). This time the distributor removed every single violent scene before submitting it to the censors. Strangely the scene where the doctor assistant is killed contains several shots of a completely different character being killed, whose demise doesn't happen until a few scenes later in the film. From a review on Amazon The film is a very cheap Mexican 'horror' with real life heart transplant footage edited into it during the operation scenes. This is pretty grim. Although, they can't possibly have done this operation for the film itself, so I don't really consider that to be too tasteless. And really, the rest of most of the film is so comic book and likeable, dammit, that you can forgive the rather shoddy idea of using said footage as a main point of sale. Far more interesting are the scenes where a woman wrestles another woman in what initially seems to be a pointless subplot. Have faith viewers, it is NOT a pointless subplot, but a cunning and subtle plot development. Even when the film appears to be going nowhere it IS. God bless writer/director Rene Cardona. I love the actress who plays the wrestler, too - especially when she looks straight into the camera and smiles to us, her loyal viewers. People say that really bad films are funny to watch _because_ they are so bad. I have only found this to be the case with one film before now, and that was Death Wish 3, but now Night Of The Bloody Apes has become one of my pet films. A desert island treasure. For entertainment value, this gets 10/10. Recently I have been unable to watch films all the way through, due to my deteriorating attention span, but this kept my attention for its duration, even to the extent that I couldn't look away from the TV. Take my advice and watch this masterpiece.	An uncut version was released in 2007 by Redemption available at UK Amazon The uncut region 1 DVD is available from US Amazon

Possession	1981 French/W German video by Andrzej Zulawski Set in the outbreak of world war 3, a couple, Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill, are undergoing a marital breakdown apparently mirroring the split of Berlin where they live.The wife cuts herself in the neck with an electric carving knife and partakes in an affair with an octopus creature. There is a rumour of a 5 minute cut to the octopus baby miscarriage on the metro. This appears to be false as the old VTC version is the same as the Dutch and French video releases as well as cinema prints. The director himself has stated that the birth scene does not last 10 minutes. A fair few scenes were cut during editing one of which clarifies what happens to Anna (Adjani). To the director's knowledge, none of these have ever made it to any release of the film.	Re-released in 1999 uncut by the BBFC The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon
