Censor (2021 film)

Censor is a 2021 British psychological horror film directed by Prano Bailey-Bond, who co-wrote the screenplay with Anthony Fletcher.

It stars Niamh Algar, Nicholas Burns, Vincent Franklin, Sophia La Porta, Adrian Schiller (in his final film appearance), and Michael Smiley.

Shortly after a man murders his wife and children, a tabloid newspaper links the killings to a film Enid had rated several months prior, naming her as the censor who approved it.

Enid soon becomes obsessed with meeting North, believing that Lee is her missing sister who needs to be saved from the exploitation film industry.

Increasingly confusing fantasy and reality, Enid kills an actor named Charles with an axe, thinking that he was going to hurt her "sister."

During the drive, the car radio announces that all violent films have been banned, crime has been eradicated, and unemployment no longer exists.

The website's critics consensus reads, "Occasionally uneven but bold and viscerally effective, Censor marks a bloody good step forward for British horror.

"[11] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 69 out of 100, based on 26 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.
