Pressure groups found certain videocassettes objectionable and 'video nasties' became a catch-all term for undesirable films or films potentially liable for prosecution under the Obscene Publications Act 1959. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is not a discussion of the video nasties themselves, but instead gives a detailed synopsis of each film, from \u003ci\u003eAbsurd\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eZombie Flesh Eaters\u003c\/i\u003e, without criticism or commentary -- 75 video nasty plots without dissection. The book may be considered a nostalgic reverie for those fans and collectors who don't have the fortitude to sit through these films again and would like an aide-memoire means of revisiting them. What's more, many of the films are cheap and exploitative, little masterclasses of cutting corners -- the brutal logic of their storylines when laid bare make for entertaining reading. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe material contained in LAST ORGY BY THE CEMETERY originally appeared in a different form in the authors' \u003ci\u003eSee No Evil: Banned Films and Video Controversy\u003c\/i\u003e, published by Headpress in 2000 and now out of print.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Headpress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915316493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.62h x 6.50w x 0.50d","brand":"David Kerekes,David Slater","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52360501985461,"sku":"9781915316493","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_be4c4ca3-d93e-4e74-96d3-5f24c29ab7a4.jpg?v=1773721259","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/last-orgy-by-the-cemetery-a-video-nasties-synopsis-film-by-shocking-film-9781915316493","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
