Episode 166 - Madhouse (1981) - Video Nasties

This week we return to our video nasties feature chronicling the list of films banned by the BBFC in Britain from the 70-80s. This time we are looking at Madhouse (1981) not to be confused with the Vincent price horror from the 70s.

We discuss the films position on the video nasties list, the possibly gruesome reasons why it made the list and reasons why it shouldn't have.

We themes of child violence, animal cruelty and warring families with mental health issues why would this film not make the list.
