From the sleazier end of the video nasty controversy…

A JOURNEY INTO THE WORST EXCESSES OF DEPRAVITY.

Greece is transformed into a bloodbath of sex, death and sadism when an English couple arrives for a perverse rampage of lust and murder through the sleepy streets of a quiet island. No taboo is left unbroken as the feral pair screw and slice through the local population and their livestock, driven by a combination of libido and twisted morality to slay those they see as unfit to exist. Now, see Nico Mastorakis’ notorious and long censored video nasty in all its uncut and full strength glory.

Island Of Death (cert. 18) will be released on DVD(£15.99) by Arrow Video on 21st March 2011.

Wanna check this one out for sure

It’s a movie were you can at least understand the logic behind banning it for so long, if you were of that way of thinking. Some of the old ‘video nasties’ that were censored in the UK make you wonder how easily offended those making the decisions were, but Island of Death is a movie that sets out to shock and, while these days there’s plenty of humour to be found in the film as well, it still has it’s moments, even if, in these more politically correct times, the things that shock may have changed.
