Enid Baines, a film screener at the BBFC, has earned an unsavory reputation for being the organization’s strictest censors of violent films.

While viewing one of North’s films, Enid is struck by its narrative similarities to the disappearance of her own sister years earlier. But when she finds another of North’s films which stars a woman who bares a striking resemblance to her sister, Enid’s life begins spiraling out of control, sending her on a mysterious and terrifying journey into the dark and violent recesses of her past.The acclaimed feature film directing debut of Prano Bailey-Bond, Censor is a scathing indictment of Britain’s notorious Video Nasty era, imagined as a horror film that’s every bit as brutal and twisted as the Nasties themselves. Exquisitely photographed on 35mm by Annika Summerson and featuring an electrifying score by Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch, Vinegar Syndrome Pictures proudly presents Censor in its Blu-ray debut, with extensive bonus features including Bailey-Bond’s earlier short film, Nasty.

Inspired by George A. Romeros 1985 masterpiece and one of the most popular horror franchises of all time, Day of the Dead is the intense story of six strangers trying to survive the first 24 hours of an undead invasion.

But unlike most zombie tales, Day of the Dead isn’t the story of a crisis bringing out the worst in people. Instead it’s an ass-kicking adventure about how our differences become strengths and how we band together when the world goes crazy around us.
