Censor Never Reaches Its Full Horror Potential | Sundance 2021 Video Review

January 30, 2021 by EJ Moreno

Censor, 2021.

You may call me a bit sick for this, but I expected more “nasty” out of this video nasty-era throwback. Sundance kicks off its Midnight Movie selections with Censor, a U.K. horror film that takes viewers back to the 80s when film censors fought hard to protect the public from the rising gory horror films. Censor Enid stumbles upon a mysterious movie that changes her life and sends her down a dark path… sadly the path wasn’t dark enough for our host EJ Moreno.

After viewing a strangely familiar video nasty, Enid, a film censor, sets out to solve the past mystery of her sister’s disappearance, embarking on a quest that dissolves the line between fiction and reality.
