My personal favorite horror movie of 2021 so far is Prano Bailey-Bond‘s Censor (now available on VOD), a haunting feature debut that takes you on a nightmarish descent through the lens of the “Video Nasty” panic of the 1980s. Censor is coming to DVD from Magnolia Pictures on September 14, and today we’ve learned that a 4K Ultra HD release is also on the way.
Vinegar Syndrome just announced the formation of Vinegar Syndrome Pictures, “a fresh sub-branding dedicated specifically to the production and distribution of carefully curated, often daring, first fun, genre-based feature films exclusively photographed on motion picture film.” One of the first releases from the label will be Censor on 4K Ultra HD!
“VSP, in association with Magnolia Pictures, will present the world 4K UHD Home Video Debut of Prano Bailey-Bond’s critically acclaimed, stunningly beautiful, and highly unnerving 35mm lensed psychological thriller, which includes stock footage from the Vinegar Syndrome vault including FROZEN SCREAM! VSP’s deluxe and extra features packed UHD/Blu-ray special edition will be available for pre-order exclusively from VinegarSyndrome.com later this month, and will come housed in a limited edition rigid slipbox with newly commissioned artwork.”
Additionally, ’80s movie New York Ninja is headed to Blu-ray from VSP.

In Censor…
Film censor Enid (Niamh Algar) takes pride in her meticulous work, guarding unsuspecting audiences against the deleterious effects of watching the gore-filled decapitations and eye-gouging she pores over. Her sense of duty to protect is amplified by guilt over her inability to recall details of the long-ago disappearance of her sister, recently declared dead in absentia. When Enid is assigned to review a disturbing film from the archive that echoes her hazy childhood memories, she begins to unravel how this eerie work might be tied to her past.
Meagan Navarro raves in her Bloody Disgusting review, “Bailey-Bond brings an assured, confident vision to a blood-splattered character study, one that feels protective of horror in many ways. Censor is an exciting introduction to another new voice in the genre.”
