Welcome to the Blog of Cynical Celluloid (aka lampyman101). It's all cult films and exploitation here so if you appreciate your Fulci and hunger for your Argento then you'll do just fine here. As is my thing I write about the more exotic offerings of the movie world and give the most extreme films around a chance at a fair hearing..... Enjoy!
The Nasties Review: The DPP Video Nasties
My flagship series, The Nasties Review is here in it's text form.
I haven't got all the scripts any more unfortunately but I may rewrite the missing scripts at some point then add them in lieu.
In the early 1980's the British government made moves to censor home video. It was a move towards a statutory censorship of a means of communication that hadn't been seen for over a century.
I started the series because of my fascination with the infamous 'Nasties' even though I had no real idea of what I was letting myself in for. As the series progressed it became an insight into politics, censorship and freedom of speech that has relevance to this day.
