Cannibal Terror (1981)ДЇrom the absolute bottom of the chum barrel comes this rare French-directed foray into cannibal gut-crunching, as a pair of lanky goons plus a buxom wench kidnap a young girl, spirit her across the border and then hole up in a house that вЂ“ oopsie! вЂ“ is smack dab next to a tribe of flesh eaters. Depending on your purview, this is either a sly meta-comment on horror fansвЂ™ willingness to sit through any old bollocks, a deeply cynical satire of Tinseltown itself, or a shameless cash-in by a hack director whose heart just wasnвЂ™t in it. Primarily filmed (and presumably edited) in the dark, and featuring extensive flashback sequences lifted wholesale from its predecessor, this sorry sequel to 1980вЂ™s The Boogeyman sees returning final girl Suzanna Love (then still married to director Ulli Lommel) rock up in Hollywood, where a coked-up producer expresses an interest in making a film about her prior paranormal experiences. In the case of Revenge of the Boogeyman, however, you get the sense that none of the cast or crew had the faintest idea what they were doing, or even cared. The vast majority of exploitation movies are amateurish by design. Below youвЂ™ll find our comprehensive guide to all 72 titles. Today most Nasties are available uncut, even as the internet unleashes a new cowboy era of unregulated video materials. When the Video Recordings Act 1984 was passed, home releases came under the oversight of the BBFC (the вЂCвЂ™ now standing for вЂClassificationвЂ™). In all, 72 films вЂ“ mostly horror titles вЂ“ were proscribed on the Video Nasties list, although only 39 were ever successfully prosecuted. The police and Department of Public Prosecutions compiled an ever-changing list of titles deemed prosecutable, or at least potentially prosecutable, under the Obscene Publications Act 1964, for вЂњtending to corrupt or deprave personsвЂќ.

This newfound freedom soon spawned a moral panic, spearheaded by a collection of sensation-seeking tabloids, god-bothering zealots, raid-happy coppers and pig-ignorant politicians.
