Review of Censor

Censor (2021)
6/10
some strong moments and some weak ones
6 July 2021
This is a weird one because the most gory moments are in the beginning of this flick. And in fact have nothing to do with this flick.

It's a compilation of some gory shots from video nasties. From there on it's all about the video nasties with again, some news from back then with Tatcher and so on.

From there this one goes between fiction and reality all done with editing. Confusing, it is. Is it good or bad, well, it depends what you want from a horror, if you want gore and red stuff then this one isn't going to be your stuff. It do offers some slashing but it's more about the mind of the girl who decides what the viewer will see and what not, censor you get it.

I'm still left with a lot of questions and still don't know what to think about this one. Even as it is all there, it even has an ode to the Giallo's with the saturated coloured lighting. I grew up in full video nasties era so yes, I do understand it all, but will younger viewers get it? Did they know about the nasties? The censorship? Just have a view at this weird flick.

Gore 4/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5.
