For decades, the BBFC believed sex and horror should never share a screen.*

In this clip from Deep Cuts, screenwriter John Logan (Gladiator, Skyfall) breaks down how horror was held to a standard no other genre faced, and how the censors dismissed Hammer’s filmmakers as the product of a “deranged schoolboy.”

Deep Cuts is a 75-minute documentary on the censorship battles of the 1970s that changed British horror forever.
