As I settle on watching "Visiting Hours" for some trash points, I found myself more overall invested in the trailers. I have the old Anchor Bay disc and they put a few of their trailers before the movie, and it brings be back to an era of low tech and fond familiarity.



The first trailer is The Anniversary (1968), which is a Hammer... comedy? With Bette Davis in a mansion of disgruntedl family members!

The Entity (1982) is a short trailer about a pro-family woman... and her fight with a sex demon!

Quicksilver Highway (1997) is a movie that I've seen, and I think it's rather stupid. It may have a few familiar faces in it, but the stories are just so dumb, I find it hard to accept that this is a real movie.

Ghost in the Machine (1993) Now I remember watching (some of) this on tv as a kid. I remember some ultra-90s kid going into a VR game and some weird shit happening to him. Also has Chris Mulkey in it.

Bad Dreams (1988) has been on my watchlist for a while now. Just can't seem to get a hold of it. Richard Lynch is in it as some burnt cult apparition haunting a girl for some reason or another.



The trailers were better than the movie itself. Visiting Hours is underwhelming and hardly graphic. I think the movie was inappropriately lumped in with the other evil movies without the accusers even seeing the movie. It's pretty tame. I don't see anything particularly nasty about it, but hey... at least William Shattner was in a video nasty, and that's good enough.

Been a while, but if I remember right the sticking point with Visiting Hours was that the killer plainly hated women and really enjoyed hurting them and the camera stuck around just long enough in one or two places to show it. More of a tone than a content thing, it is fairly mild for outright gore and sleaze. The whole video nasties ruckus was ludicrous though. Definitely a fair few on there that were never watched by the kids that were supposed to have done, or possibly by anyone. And apparently the Video Recordings Act that came of it was actually improperly formulated at the time, and only properly made legal a couple of years back, although in the day one or two sellers got in real trouble.

I agree, they were unjust on quite a few movies. Some basic slasher flicks of the era were more obscene than some of the titles dubbed as "nasties".
