They are notorious, they are disturbing, they are brutal, but are they truly deserving of the label of a video nasty? If you are a movie buff, especially when it comes to the horror and exploitation genres you have definitely heard of the Video Nasties List that came about in the early 1980's.Those movies which were deemed obscene even pornographic. Some may have been deserving. Some of them, I have no idea how they ended up on this list.
I have included in this post the original list of Video Nasties. Now over time, I believe some of these movies were removed from the list, but I have included what I think is the full unedited list with the help of Wikipedia. I have also included all three sections of the Video Nasty List. The amount of movies they went after is INSANE! I highly doubt the people who went after these movies even watched a small portion of them. Perhaps in an act of defiance, those movies ended up wearing the title of Video Nasty as a badge of honor proudly desplaying it on their covers. Fuck the prudes that made that list!
I think I'm going to challenge myself to watch every single movie on listed here.
FINALLY
Here are three questions for you all:
1. After viewing the list, which movies do you feel in no way whatsoever deserved to be placed on that list? Personally, I've never understood why Axe was.
2. What movies on the list do you think actually earned the title of a Video Nasty?
3. If there were a Video Nasty List implemented today, what movies do you think would qualify to be on it and why? They can be from any decade.
