REVIEWS:
“Even as the film itself warns against the numbing effect of exploitive gore as entertainment, ‘Censor’ proves that relentlessly beating the audience over the head with non-sequitur gore has a point of diminishing returns. This film’s depiction of creeping madness is so engrossing that it almost completely offsets its slavish devotion to the splatter genre.” www.escapeintofilm.com
“Censor is pure genre emulation at its most angering and squeamish. A combination of dedicated research and pure nefarious filmmaking, Prano Bailey-Bond displays an awe-striking amount of dedication towards what is essentially one blasphemous social critique. And I’m all for it.” www.filmhounds.co.uk
“Bailey-Bond reconstructs the uncanny, almost occult world of film itself, and, using her budget cleverly, projects the 80s from claustrophobic closeups on period detail.” www.theguardian.com
