Defined in the glossary: Video nasty, Nazisploitation
A prosecuted DPP video nasty whose crucified-victim poster helped trigger the tabloid panic; not classified in Britain until 2005.
A DPP video nasty far better known for its poster than for anything in the film.
One of the nazisploitation titles the British authorities dumped onto the video nasty list, and the poster, a naked woman strung up beside an SS officer, did more to earn the ban than the contents ever could. The plot, such as it is, follows a camp commandant who lost his testicles on the Russian front and wants a transplant from a prisoner, between the usual rounds of sexual experiments. Sergio Garrone shot it back-to-back with a second camp film on the same sets to save money, and it shows in every reused corridor. Away from a handful of shock beats it is cheap and slow, which is the dull secret behind most of this cycle.

Written about
- The Exorcist was banned on video in Britain by one censor
The Exorcist passed uncut for British cinemas in 1974, then had no legal UK video release from 1988 to 1999 because one censor would not certify the tape.
The cycle in depth
- Banned, cut and confiscated
A Fulci print flown out of the country, an Australian rating that just means no, and a German court that filed The Evil Dead under criminal violence. Three states, three machines for making a film disappear.
On these lists
- Nastiest of the nasties
The tapes the DPP put on its seize-on-sight list. Prosecuting them in a country with ferries to France was the best advertising any of them ever got.

Love Camp 7
The film that invented nazisploitation six years before Ilsa made it a genre.
Island of Death
Mykonos has never looked prettier or hosted anything uglier. Mastorakis dared himself to be banned and won.
Cannibal Apocalypse
Vietnam veterans as cannibals. Sillier and kinder than the jungle cycle.
Turkey Shoot
The budget vanished mid-shoot and they kept going. Chaotic, mean, fun.
The Gestapo's Last Orgy
The most extreme of the sadiconazista cycle, and the only one shaped like a love story.
Contamination
Alien via Rome, with exploding chests and a Goblin score doing heavy lifting.
The House on the Edge of the Park
Deodato points Last House at a dinner party. Grubby, mean, effective.
Killer Nun
Anita Ekberg, morphine, and a plot that gives up around the hour mark.

Almost entirely people walking around an island. Then two minutes of infamy.

Lenzi recycling other films' footage into a Jonestown story. Grim work.

Abel Ferrara's debut. More interesting as a document of downtown New York.

Genuinely nasty and hard to defend. The killer quacks. It doesn't help.
