Rewind This! poster 01

Movie / 2013 / Documentary

Rewind This!

Why this pick

A warm, energetic documentary about VHS culture that pairs naturally with Jake West’s dive into the video-era panic, shifting from censorship history to the tactile pleasures and communities built around tape.

In Search of Darkness poster 02

Movie / 2019 / Documentary

In Search of Darkness

Why this pick

An enthusiast-made oral history of 1980s horror cinema, rich in filmmakers’ and critics’ perspectives; it extends the same affection for controversial genre movies and the ecosystem around them.

Mark of the Devil poster 03

Movie / 1970 / Horror / Drama / Thriller

Mark of the Devil

Why this pick

A notorious exploitation-era censor magnet whose lurid presentation and historical reputation make it a revealing companion piece to the films and moral outrage discussed in Video Nasties.

Censor poster 04

Movie / 2021 / Horror

Censor

Why this pick

A stylised British psychological horror steeped in the video-nasty era, using an examiner’s work and analogue textures to evoke the anxiety, censorship, and blurred boundaries surrounding forbidden images.

Machete Maidens Unleashed! poster 05

Movie / 2010 / Documentary

Machete Maidens Unleashed!

Why this pick

With brisk archival storytelling and colourful interviewees, it explores another disreputable corner of exploitation-film history—the Philippine genre boom—while retaining the same lively, nonjudgmental affection for cult cinema.
