Hang on.

Not still going over it?

Well, if we're passing it as an 18, it needs more cuts.

The decapitation?

Nope. No, the decapitation is ridiculous.

It's the, er, it's the eye gouging...

it's too, it's too realistic.

Plus, I was trying to see who dragged her away.

Does it matter?

Well, would be nice if it has some clear retribution after all the...

I appreciate you analyzing this with such precision, Enid,

but perhaps someone got out of the cautious side

of bed this morning?

Well, I'm just doing my job.

You're missing the intellectual layer,

- my dear. - Oh, come on, we both saw how...

The heightened references take the edge off

the more realistic violence.

See it less as an eye gouging, more part of a grand tradition.

It's no worse than the Cyclops in Homer.

It's Gloucester in Lear.

It's... Un Chien Andalou.

I've salvaged the tug of war with the intestines.

I've kept in most of the screwdriver stuff.

And I've only trimmed the tiniest bit

off the end of the genitals.

But some things should be left to the imagination.

It's like Rat Brothel all over again.

No, I just want to get it right.

Plus, you lost the argument the moment you brought

Shakespeare into the room.

We can't afford to make mistakes.

I'm cutting it.

As Britain is invaded by a wave of depraved

and corrupt horror videos,

prosecutions of distributors of the video nasties...

What we're talking about are videos that depict

butchering, sadism, murder.

This is dangerous and hardcore stuff.

And Britain's rising crime

with one conservative MP

stating that these violent films

are gnawing at society's moral fabric.

Violence is an inherent part of human nature

and it's important that we find

a cathartic outlet for this

otherwise, it remains pent up, uncontrolled.

I even heard from one social worker,

who at 5.30 in the morning visiting a family,

he wasn't allowed to start his visit

until the rape scene

from I Spit On Your Grave had been finished...

Far too many violent images,

which are penetrating the minds

of impressionable young children.

There's a real danger

of confusing fiction with reality.

The raids up and down the country,

Trading Standards have seized over four thousand films

from video shops

as well as from private homes.

If this film stays

in your mind...

its presence is corrupting.

These increasingly sadistic

and violent films are being watched

and rewatched over and over again.

Viewers are like drug addicts

wanting stronger and harder films every time.

There's clear evidence

that these films are lowering standards in society.

And we should be afraid what else they might do to people...

With more video recorders per person

than any other country in the world,

Britain is the leader of the video revolution.

This depiction is dangerous.

Come on, Enid. No one's gonna pick this up

and think it's a documentary. It's so fake.

To you it might be sausages for intestines,

but what if it gets into the hands of children?

Exactly!

Kids could be rewinding and watching those scenes

over and over again.

Which is exactly what new government guidelines

are pointing at.

- Video technology is changing the rules... - More guidelines. Great.

Not as if we haven't got enough on our hands.

How can we do our job properly

if we're constantly bogged down by government bureaucracy?

If it's the nation's sanity they're worried about,

why don't they stop slashing

- social services? - Okay, I get it.

But I'm afraid we're not here to debate the government.

Can we get back on track, please?

Consensus on Cannibal Carnage?

- Reject. - I agree.

A few cuts.

I'd pass it.

Enid.

So, we're both recommending reject?

Yes.

Can I be a massive pain and get you to type up my notes?

Of course. No problem, Anne.

It's my sister's birthday.

I should have been there half an hour ago.

Are you sure that's okay?

You should go.

Thanks, Enid.

See you tomorrow.

I can't believe you did, though.

- You are nuts. - Oh my God!

- Love you so much. - Oh, I love you more.

Excuse me!

Sorry, excuse me!

Er, sorry, I thought you were someone else.

What we have seen in this country

is the emergence of an organized

revolutionary minority,

who are prepared to exploit industrial disputes

but whose real aim

is the breakdown of law and order

and the destruction of democratic

parliamentary government.

The gas industry's main unions

have today announced

that they will delay their decision

regarding any industrial action to assist the miners...

...were set to take place later this week,

which have now been postponed indefinitely.

This is Enid Baines.

Please leave a message.

Hi Enid. It's Mom.

Oh, I don't like talking to these things.

Well, if you're there, Dad and I booked the table

for 9 p.m.

It's at the restaurant that Dad mentioned.

Er, see you there, love. Bye.

The food here is meant to be good.

Mm.

This is a death certificate.

Ready to order?

Maybe we need another minute.

Have they found something?

No, Enid.

We just felt...

What's going on?

Your Dad and I have been thinking about this

for a long time.

It hasn't been an easy decision.

Enid, I know it's difficult,

but we need to find a way to let go.

Let go?

Try to find some sort of peace?

Your Dad and I aren't going to be around forever

and I don't want to grow old wishing

for a happy ending

that we all know might never come.

So, are you deciding that she's dead?

But this marks her death as that day.

I was there. I would know if she died.

You've never been clear on exactly what you remember.

I can try and remember, Mom. Is that what you want me to do?

- I can, you know... - Enid, we've done that.

That's the point.

We'll never know what happened.

Yeah, so she's still missing.

Enid, if we were going to...

we should have found her by now.

You know if someone did take her, then...

then they're still out there.

Enid.

Sorry.

We're not blaming you.

Mom and I are only trying to do what's best, love.

It's the right decision for all of us, Enid.

Please?

No, that's a copy for you to keep.

Patrick recommended

the fish.

Viv said they had a lovely time here.

Mm.

So, how's work, Enid?

Seen anything you'd recommend?

It's not entertainment, Mom.

I do it to protect people.

Yes, of course. Well,

let's all just try to have a lovely meal.

Shall we?

- It's always the same with you. - What?

You know, taking no responsibility.

I never take responsibility?

What, you lose your fucking job

and I'm the one that doesn't take responsibility?

I've had enough of this shit!

Fucking kid to feed.

Don't be bringing him into it.

It's fucking typical.

Late night?

One too many white wines.

Well, let's hope there's nothing too stomach churning coming up then.

What masterpiece are we dissecting?

Extreme Coda.

I mean, what is it with these directors?

Male inadequacy revenge catharsis.

Didn't that get to you?

Some of those scenes were so excessive.

Just focus on getting it right.

Don't really think about anything else.

Plus, I haven't got a hangover.

Enid, Fraser wants to see us. Says it's urgent.

Shut the door.

You two passed Deranged, right?

- Deranged? - Yes. The Moreno film.

We watched it a few months ago. Why?

There's a, a sequence in it where a man eats someone's face.

- Oh, yes. - Yes. 18 with extensive cuts.

What's happened, Fraser?

A man that was arrested in Brighouse yesterday.

He, er...

killed his wife, then he...

then he tore off and ate her face.

W.. Went on to shoot his two children, dead.

It's horrific.

I got a call from some

journalist 15 minutes ago who was breaking the story.

He's linking the killings directly to Deranged.

Oh God! So, they're blaming us?

Well, there's the thing.

This journalist seemed to know that it was you two

who passed the film.

How the hell do they know that?

I can't believe you two let it get past you.

It's complete hysteria.

It's no worse than other material we've passed.

The press are going to town

calling him the 'Amnesiac Killer'.

He's saying he can't remember what happened.

Government policy's already breathing down

our necks without this.

It's a complete disaster.

I mean, I can't believe you'd go off

like that without permission, either of you...

Why did you leave her in the forest?

Enid, how?

Sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I need you to walk me through your decisions again.

So, I'm 100% clear.

And for the record, in future,

if you have even the slightest doubt...

just reject the film.

The man, who went berserk

claims he cannot recall the incident at all.

The accused has been dubbed by press

as 'The Amnesiac Killer'

after links being made today between the killing

and video nasty horror film, Deranged.

I heard the most awful scream.

Made my blood go cold.

And now they're saying it's because of some film.

Looks like the world's gone mad.

This has always been a really safe neighborhood,

like, for the kids and that. For everyone...

A hotel in Painswick has been cleared

of staff and guests

after police found what could be a bomb

hidden in one of the hotel's rooms.

- Mom? - Despicable woman.

Letting people see that disgusting film,

you should be ashamed of yourself.

Enid!

Where is she?

Enid!

No! No!

Oi, watch it, mate!

- Miss Baines! - Enid,

why did you allow Deranged to be released?

Do you feel you have blood on your hands?

Is the Amnesiac Killer telling the truth?

Why aren't you banning these films?

Come in.

Fraser, you sly old bastard.

Doug, hi. Come in.

I mean, my kids are reading this.

How the fuck do they know who passed it?

- You think she blabbed to the press? - Oh, yeah.

It's not even like we're paid that much.

I could go to academia like that.

Seriously. And that, that scene is laughable!

Even Little-Miss-Perfect thought it was funny.

Enid.

Bad luck, isn't it?

I mean, it could have happened to any of us.

If I'm here to make decisions it can't be 'bad luck'.

No. But, well,

you know what I mean.

We all make mistakes.

Nina, spin.

One, two, three.

That's a single malt now, Fraser.

Don't be using that to drown your sorrows.

Er, yeah.

And who's this you've got squirreled away?

Er, this is Enid Baines. She's one of our censors.

So, this is Enid.

- Have we met? - No.

Doug Smart. Producer, Ident Investment Films.

Fraser, you didn't tell me you had such a photogenic team.

Now tell me this Enid, if you get bored

of banning my films,

I'm sure I could get you a job on the big screen.

I'm not sure how much I like the idea of being raped

and cut into pieces on camera.

No, but I'm sure the public would love it.

Okay, Doug, come on.

Maybe Enid could, er,

watch my latest Frederick North submission?

It's from the archives. It's harmless, I promise.

I, er... I'm sure you could slip me a 15.

It's, er, already on her schedule.

And I'm sure she'll deal with it

with her usual professionalism.

Right, come on, Doug. Let me see you out.

Enchante, mademoiselle.

What a wee cracker she is. Absolutely gorgeous.

There were so many shits and fucks,

it was impossible to cut them all,

so we just had to give it a 15.

Anyway...

- Thank you, Alf. - All right.

What have we got now then?

Don't Go In The Church.

There won't be many places left for us to go soon.

Frederick North film.

Haven't seen one of his in a while.

Used to be quite prolific.

Don't think I know his work.

Oh, he's a laugh a minute.

Oh, silent titles.

Unusual.

This way.

Please stop.

I don't like it. Can we go back?

No, it'll be fun.

Let's play a game.

Come on.

Summon my shadow.

Spin.

Do it!

One...

Two...

Three...

Go on.

In there.

Go!

You okay?

It was quite full on.

It shook me up.

Just feeling a bit under the weather.

You know you can always talk to me, don't you?

If you want to.

Stressful times.

Like when my mom passed away,

if I hadn't had someone to talk to

I think I might of just...

I don't know,

- lost it... - Why do you think he can't remember?

Er, who?

The Amnesiac Killer.

Oh, I... I don't know.

I mean, why wouldn't he remember?

God, it's hard to...

Could be basic trauma.

Brain sort of shuts it out.

Could have had a bang on the head even. Or...

It makes me think of my psychotherapy days

we'd talk about how people construct

stories to cope.

You'd be surprised what the human brain

can edit out when it can't handle the truth.

Look.

You're good at your job, Enid.

Don't let what's going on out there get to you.

I don't know if you want to but maybe we could get out

of here sometime?

Go for a drink.

I'm so sorry about your mom, Perkins.

Thank you for this.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hi, Mom.

Oh, Enid. Are you okay?

I've been trying to get hold of you.

Sorry. Work's been...

really busy.

Oh, okay.

Well, I hope you're all right, love.

Are you still there, love?

Yes.

It's, um...

I examined this film today.

Oh. What was it about?

Nothing.

It doesn't matter.

You... you mustn't let work get you down, Enid.

I saw the news.

- It's only 'cause your Dad... - Dad doesn't know

what he's talking about.

- All right, love. - I'm sorry.

Just tired.

Well, don't overdo it, will you?

You can't be responsible for everyone, Enid.

It's just a job.

Yeah. I suppose so.

Nina?

Nina?

Mom?

It's all your fault!

Valerie.

Hang on.

What is it?

Um, Perkins and I examined.

Don't Go In The Church yesterday.

Well, the file's a bit thin on information.

I was wondering if you had anything else

on the director.

It's Frederick North.

Do you have a list of his films?

No.

Well, without a list, it'll take at least a week.

Leaving on time, Enid? It's not like you.

Beastman's coming to get you!

Oh, hi.

Er, enjoy it?

Yeah, proper gory.

It's good, isn't it? See you next time.

Cheers, Gerald.

- Hey. - I thought that one was banned.

Um, I don't know what you mean.

Maybe you can help me? I was looking for

some of the more unusual

Frederick North films?

I've seen, um...

Don't Go In The Church.

Oh.

Perhaps maybe you might have something else of his

under the counter.

Um... I've not seen you in here before.

Just moved to the area.

Someone like you doesn't want to watch films like that.

Like what?

My favorite is, er, Stationery Massacre.

The repeated stabbing of the man's eye with a compass

then his stomach being ripped open

with serrated scissors.

His guts falling out, his, his stomach

being stapled back together.

Masterpiece.

All right, come on. I've seen, I've seen

that you've got Cannibal Carnage.

And I know that that's been banned.

Bloody hell.

Okay.

So many places getting, you know, shut down.

Police raids and...

My mate up town had his lot confiscated.

Honestly, it's not worth the bloody stress.

Gonna get rid of it all soon myself anyway. So...

That's all I've got of North's.

It's a bit of a ropey copy.

Might be a bit fuzzy in all the good bits.

And, er, well, someone's taped over the end

with another film.

This place gives me a bad feeling.

It's like something from one of my nightmares.

Let's go back.

No, we've come too far to turn back.

Strange.

- What is it? - A book.

There's a symbol.

It's like some sort of portal.

Wait, let me see.

It's Latin.

I can work it out.

"Si introibunt

hoc sepulcrum, dare

tibi ad infernum...”

Tom. Stop!

It could be dangerous.

"Qui este cunum quam reverterto."

"Quis hog momento insemperternum."

"Imutata sinsintuar."

He's calling for me.

"Sinsintuar."

He's calling for me.

The evil is contagious.

He's calling for me.

The evil is contagious.

We definitely had some Jaffa cakes.

Sorry, I should have phoned.

Oh, where do things end up?

I should have got more bits in.

Do you remember Carol and Alan, Enid?

Hm.

Alan, with the squinty eye.

They broke up.

Such a shame.

Carol's moving near the seaside now.

I suppose she's better off out of it

but I'm going to miss her.

You can visit, love.

I wanted to talk to you about something.

- Found a nice fella? - No.

It's to do with Nina.

I know what we talked about and I understand,

but think I...

I think I might have worked out where she is.

Oh, please, Enid. Not this again.

I know, Dad, but this is different.

There's this actress.

Her name is Alice Lee.

I know it sounds mad, but I've got this...

I've got this really strong feeling

that I think it's her.

I need you to look at this. Just focus on her face.

Just look at her eyes.

We've been here before, Enid. Every time it's not her.

Dad, please! You're not even looking at her.

Please! Just look.

She looks just like the police mock-up, Dad.

Enid, stop!

- Dad. - Enid.

This is exactly why we did what we did.

We tried to do our best for you,

but you go off doing whatever you want.

Just like the day you went off with her!

George!

No, Nina!

No!

Doug.

I was in the area.

We met at the censor's office.

Of course. Enid.

Um...

Sorry, I've been having a bit of bother.

Um, some people don't seem to like my films.

Do come in.

Through here.

Do you live alone?

Yes. I live alone.

This room seems familiar.

Must be a sign.

It's the rape scene from Extreme Coda.

Someone's got a keen eye.

I got this for Coda in LA.

Go to the States quite a bit actually.

We look similar, don't we?

Who?

Me and Alice Lee.

You do actually.

I knew you reminded me of someone.

Why don't we get this wet coat off?

What's Frederick like?

What can I say?

He's a provocateur and a genius.

He's widely misunderstood.

You enjoyed Don't Go In The Church then, huh?

Frederick pressed for you to view it.

Wanted a woman's eye on his film.

You not enjoying your scotch?

You might be interested to hear that he's shooting

a juicy sequel to Church at the moment,

with the monstrous "Beastman'."

Sequels are all the rage these days.

Where are they filming it?

Near Frederick's.

In the forest where we shot the original.

And Alice Lee's in it?

It'll be her last film.

She's come to the end of her shelf life, that one.

W..what does that mean?

Let's not talk about some silly actress.

Far more interested in talking about you, Enid.

What's going to happen to Alice?

Well, that's top secret.

Frederick abducted her, didn't he?

I can abduct you if you want.

- Stop! Get off me. - What?

- Came round my house. - Let go of me.

- You fucking prick tease. - Just let go of me, please!

- Stop. - Get...

Stop! Please stop!

Just let go of me!

Thank you for the whiskey.

I'll see myself out.

You fucking sick bitch.

I hope you get what's coming to you.

You deserve to get sliced up, you fucking prick tease.

People like you shouldn't be

given any bloody responsibility.

The evil is contagious

and it's all your fault, you horrible woman.

You came round my fucking house.

He's shooting a juicy sequel to Church at the moment.

You're rotten inside.

Nothing you ever do will be any good.

You touch things, and they go to shit.

Help me, please.

Please, please.

Enid?

You all right?

We are in a viewing here.

Help me, help me. Save me, please!

Er, Enid?

Sorry.

Someone's losing the plot.

Hello? Can I help you?

Excuse me, Enid!

What do you think you're doing?

Everything is under control, Valerie.

All right?

No! No, no, no! You're not authorized!

"The Amnesiac Killer stated in court"

that he had never seen the film Deranged,

which is supposed to have influenced

- the attack on..."" - What?

So, he didn't even watch it?

That's what it says here.

Get back!

Is this the film shoot with Alice Lee?

You're late.

Sorry?

I'm Debbie. I'll be doing your make-up.

You don't look anything like your picture.

At least you're here. Half the cast haven't turned up.

Production's all over the place.

Come on.

Let's get you ready.

Top off.

Head through.

Head through.

Sit.

Down on the chair.

Debbie!

Is that the sister?

Yeah.

Frederick wants her down in the forest.

He's getting impatient.

Oh, also still no sign of the producer.

It's so weird.

Mm?

Doug never misses a gory murder scene.

What have they got planned for Alice Lee?

What do you mean?

Look at me.

I've been waiting for you.

Fred... Frederick North?

Step into the light, so I can see you.

Hurry up.

Where's Alice Lee?

Big fan, are you?

Well, someone told me this was her last picture.

You're guarded.

That comes from a place of fear, doesn't it?

I want you to tell me about Don't Go In The Church.

That...

That bit with the girls where did the...

where did the idea come from?

Had an effect on you, did it?

That scene...

That scene...

was inspired

by a true story.

All of my ideas...

are drawn from real life.

Well, that's not what happened.

People think that I create...

the horror,

but I don't.

Horror is already out there...

in all of us.

It's in you.

No, it's not.

Of course, it is.

Don't be so naive.

If you're gonna do this,

I will need you to access

your darkest impulses.

I don't have any.

No, they're in there. Somewhere.

- No, they're not. - Oh, come on!

Fucking commit!

Improvise.

Take control of your story.

No.

Okay, piss off then!

No, please, no! Wait, wait! Please, please. Wait.

I just want my sister.

I just want to see her! I just really want to see

my little sister. I want her back, please!

Please!

All right.

All right, we'll go with that.

Let's play.

There's something rotten inside you.

You try to control it,

but you only make things worse.

Don't fight it anymore.

- Stop. - Just let it out!

Stop, it's you.

You're trying to make me out to be the bad person

and it's you. Stop!

There. That's it.

And we'll take that energy

into the scene.

Come...

enter your story.

My love.

I have been waiting for you.

For such a long time.

You have always been in my heart.

No.

There's something rotten inside you.

Twisted up.

It secretes bad things.

Stop fighting it. Let it out!

You know you are evil.

No, this is not in the script! No, no, no!

Charles!

I am the horror!

Cut!

What the fuck is going on?

Charles!

- Charles? - No!

What are you doing?

- Frederick! - No.

What? W..Why w...

You did this! This is all your fault!

Nina! Come back!

Nina!

Nina!

No, please, please, please! Get away from me, please!

It's all right. It's all right. It's me!

It's me, Enid. All right? I'm your sister.

You... You killed Charles.

No. No, he was gonna hurt you.

He was my friend!

No, everything that I have done is to protect you.

All right? To make things right.

- You're insane. - No! Please.

Please!

- Please don't hurt me! - No, it's all right, it's all right!

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Never hurt you.

"Cause you're my sister."

W..what?

That wasn't real!

Well, it has to be. Please, because.

'Cause you have her eyes.

I already have a sister and it's not you!

No.

No, please, no. You...

No, you have to be her, please!

No, please, be her. Please!

Please, be her. Please!

Please, you have to be her! Please.

Please, you have to be her! Please.

You have to be her, please.

You have to be her, please.

Please, you have to be her, please.

Please, you have to be her.

Please.

Please, you have to be her.

Please.

Please. Please, be her.

Please, be her. Please, please.

Please, be her. Please, be her.

Please, be her.

Please, be her.

Nina!

You came back to save me.

Yes.

I did.

Come on, let's go home.

And what's fascinating is,

that now these issues have been dealt with properly,

the video nasties have been eradicated completely.

The crime rate in Britain has actually dropped to zero.

It's just like we said,

the streets of Britain are safe at last.

The employment rate is at a record high.

The criminals are all locked up.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Mom and Dad.

Found her.

Save me!

Help me!
