Director Prano Bailey-Bond’s debut feature pays homage to glorious 1980s aesthetics in this bloody love letter to classic VHS video nasties.
In an era of a never-ending torrent of extreme film content, Enid (Niamh Algar) routinely screens horror flicks and passes judgment as a film-board censor. One day, she discovers an eerie horror that speaks directly to her sister’s mysterious disappearance, and she resolves to unravel the puzzle behind the film and its enigmatic director in a quest that will blur the lines between fiction and reality in terrifying ways.
An immersive psychological thriller that explores acts of censorship and memories of the past, Censor is that rare combination of frightening and fun.
