I wanted to love Censor. A film about a girl that reviews video nasties to see if they meet standards? Fuck yes! But it self is also a horror film where paranoia consumes and murder ensues? Even better. Is it a giallo? Not really, but it doesn't have some 70s grain. Much like a giallo it is a slow burn, only here the pacing bores you. Then the final act kicks in and it goes full on exploitation horror, not just that but meta, then meta on top of meta. Great gore, great sets & costumes, wooden acting and a dull plot. It's a cool flick to watch for horror fans but it ultimately felt like a film where the poster & idea outweigh the final product.
