Here’s the trailer for a film that I managed to catch at a recent online film festival, the genre piece Censor. This is an amazing piece of work from filmmaker Pran Bailey Bond and had its World Premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival in the Official Selection and then its European Premiere at the Berlin Film Festival. The film is to be released theatrically on 25 June 2021 in the UK.
Niamh Algar (Calm with Horses, Raised by Wolves) leads the cast of the ’80s-set film. Here’s the official synopsis:
Britain, 1985. When film censor Enid discovers an eerie horror that speaks directly to her sister’s mysterious disappearance, she resolves to unravel the puzzle behind the film and its enigmatic director – a quest that will blur the lines between fiction and reality in terrifying ways. Steeped in glorious 1980s aesthetics, CENSOR is a bloody love letter to the VHS ‘video nasty’ horror classics of the past.
We’ve actually got a couple of versions of the trailer. The first is the UK one and the second the US version where the film will be released in cinemas from June 11th, 2021, and then On Demand June 18th, 2021.
