Hey what’s up guys. Today I’ll show you a horror film: “Censor”!
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care! In the 1980s, a film reviewer called
“Ms Charming”, and her co-worker are examining a low-budget horror film called,
video nasties. As film reviewers, they decide whether the scenes from video nasties are
safe for public consumption or not. Ms Charming thinks that the scene they watched is too violent
because of the eye-gouging scene, while her co-worker insists that they should appreciate
the intellectual layer behind the scene. But Ms Charming already made her decision to recommend
censoring the scene, believing that it is too risky to let the public see it.
Apparently, the British government banned the violent scenes from video nasties,
due to the increasing crime-rate in the country, stating that video nasties cause it. They
broadcast on the TV how various hardcore scenes of butchering, sadism, and murder,
may inspire violent behavior. So film reviewers like Ms Charming examine the content of video
nasties, to censor hardcore violent scenes or reject those films that are totally violent,
especially those slasher ones in Daniel cc movie channel. Hoping in this way, they can
protect society from consuming violent films; and in return, eradicate violence in society.
After examining the film, Ms Charming comes to the film reviewer board to report her recommendation.
During the meeting, everyone declares their recommendation, and soon decides whether to
accept or reject the film. Suddenly, an argument between the board arises, as some of the board
members including Ms Charming, firmly believe that censorship can prevent kids from being violent.
Meanwhile, the others express their disappointment on the intervention of the government on film
productions, thinking that censorship is not a solution to prevent violence. This’s why some
of the board members are not taking their job seriously, since they are against it.
At night, all of the board members already go home, leaving Ms Charming alone in the office.
It seems that she takes her job seriously, as she finds
a purpose for protecting people in doing it. After a long hour of work, Ms Charming goes home,
and passes through a passageway. There she sees a red-haired woman who greatly resembles her missing
sister. To her knowledge, her sister went missing during their childhood, and she is the last person
who was with her sister. Thinking that the woman is her sister, she calls the woman. But to her
disappointment, the woman is not her sister. She then apologizes for mistakenly disturbing her.
As she goes home, she receives a voice message from her mother, who invites her for dinner.
Dinner meeting comes; her parents inform her that they have already declared her sister’s
death through a death certificate. She gets disappointed upon seeing it, since she still
hopes they can find her sister one day. But her parents tell them that they should accept that
her sister is gone for peace of mind. In the certificate, it’s written that her sister died
during the day her sister went missing. She then insists she’s with her sister during that day,
and she never sees her sister die. But her parents say her memory might be inaccurate.
The following day, Ms Charming, with her co-worker, comes to examine a film called
Extreme Coda. The film depicts a scene where a man forcibly uses a woman to pleasure himself
on the table. The helpless woman just keeps screaming in agony; but Ms Charming
remains unmoved by the scene. Her co-worker then wonders about her lack of reaction. She explains
that she just focuses on fixing the scene. Suddenly, her boss calls her and the other
co-worker to his office. The boss asks them about the film they approved, called Deranged,
which depicts a man who eats a human face. The boss informs them about a recent murder case,
where a man murdered his wife, tore her face and proceeded to eat it. The man also shoots his two
children. After that, the man forgot about his gruesome crime; and people started to call him the
“Amnesiac Killer”. Apparently, people believe that the Amnesiac killer watched the film Deranged;
and the film motivates the man to commit the crime. Ms Charming and her co-worker
are under fire, as the people blame them for the crime, since they pass the film.
Later, she comes home, and hears the news blaming her. She also receives a call from people, who are
angry with her. As she gets a familiar feeling of overwhelming guilt because of the incident,
she starts to recall her last moments with her sister. She also remembers her parents
angrily asking her about where her sister is. Presumably, her sister is already dead,
and she is partly responsible for it; because in her memory, she seems to lead her sister
to her demise when they play in the woods. So the guilt for her sister’s death comes back,
as she feels guilty again when people blame her for the recent murder case.
The following day, the producer of Extreme Coda comes to the office, and notices the charm of
Ms Charming. He compliments her, and jokingly says that she can be cast for one of his films.
After that, he tells her that she can examine his newly produced film, directed by Frederick.
So Ms Charming comes to watch and examine the film with her co-worker.
the co-worker immediately notices that the film is unusual, since it shows its title
“Don’t Go in the Church” without a sound. The film goes on to depict two girls in the woods,
where the first girl instructs the second girl to go inside a creepy cabin, for the sake of a game.
The second girl appears to be hesitant and scared, but the first girl says it will be fun.
So the second girl obliges to go inside. The first girl gets an ax, and follows her inside.
The first girl then hits the second girl with an ax, and proceeds to chop the second girl’s body.
After that, the first girl walks out of the cabin, and turns into the beast-man.
For the first time, Ms Charming starts to tremble from the horrifying scene,
since it greatly resembles her memory of her last moments with her sister in the woods. In disgust,
she cannot prevent herself from puking in the toilet. As she walks out, she asks her co-worker
why the Amnesiac Killer forgets the gruesome crime he committed. In response, her co-worker,
who has knowledge about psychotherapy, says that the human brain edits out some memories,
when it cannot handle the truth. This means that Amnesiac Killer forgets about his crime,
because he cannot handle how he murdered his own family. The co-worker’s statement also reflects Ms
Charming’s situation, as she seems to forget some part of her memories of her last moments with her
sister, because of her overwhelming guilt. After her work, she calls her mother,
asking for some comfort, since her work and her memories of her sister are stressing her out.
She tries to ask her mother about the film, but she immediately changes her mind.
She comes to sleep looking extremely stressed. As she sleeps, her guilt manifests in her nightmares.
She has some nightmares about the film, but this time she’s the main character, looking
for her sister in the cabin; and in her hand is the note with the director’s name written on it.
Out of nowhere, her mother suddenly screams, blaming her for everything.
The following day, she accidentally comes across the director’s name on her note.
Curious about how the film resembles her memory, she wants to find the director. She comes to the
archive manager, asking for information about the director. But she does not have a list of
the director’s film, so the archive manager says it would take a week to manually find it.
Later, she comes to the movie store to find films from the same director. She wanders
through the store, and observes if the store owner is selling banned video nasties, since films from
Frederick are usually banned. After she sees the store owner sell a banned video nasty, she asks
the store owner for films from Frederick. The store owner hesitates to let her take the film,
saying that she’s not the type to watch violent films. She then shares her favourite video nasty,
which depicts a man’s stomach being ripped open with scissors, and getting stapled back after
his organs fall from his stomach. The store owner is convinced, so he gets the hidden film from the
back of his store. As he comes back, he gives her the film “Asunder”, directed by Frederick.
After that, she comes home to watch the film. To her surprise, the film’s main character “Alice”,
greatly resembles the grown-up version of her sister. She then begins to
believe that it is her missing sister. So the following day, she drives to her
parent’s home to show the photo of Alice. She says to her parents that she has a strong feeling
Alice is her long-lost sister. But her parents appear to be certain that it’s not her sister,
without even looking at the photo. It seems that her parents are sure her sister is already dead.
She then comes home completely devastated. In her sleep, she dreams again about a familiar scene;
she sees her young sister in front of the cabin, and her sister suddenly turns into
Alice. Shortly after, Alice comes inside the cabin together with the beast-man. She then
prevents Alice from going inside, believing Alice is her sister, and the dream ends.
The following day, she sneaks to the archive, to look for the information about Frederick,
and sees the producer’s address in it. She writes down the address, and soon comes to the producer’s
house. The producer welcomes her. She immediately notices that the rape scene in Extreme Coda,
takes place at the producer’s table. She asks the producer about Frederick.
The producer then says Frederick wants her to see the film, since he wants a woman to see it.
This makes her believe that Frederick knows about her past, and deliberately chooses her to watch
the film. As the producer sees her interests in Frederick’s film, he offers her to cast for the
film’s sequel, which will be shot near Frederick’s house. The producer then informs her that Alice
and the beast-man is part of the film; and it will be Alice’s last film, since it would be the last
shell of her life. The producer’s statement makes her think Frederick abducted Alice and she will be
killed in the film. She tries to ask the producer about it, but the producer has his attention on
raping her on the table. So she fights back, and accidentally pushes him towards his trophy, which
pierces through his mouth. She then witnesses the producer gargling his own blood, as he desperately
tries to gasp for breath. In the end, the producer dies; and she walks out of his house as if nothing
happened. However, the incident greatly worsens her deteriorating mental condition.
The following day, she comes to her work acting strangely. It appears that she’s slowly losing
her sense of reality. She rummages through the archives, and finds Frederick’s address.
As she walks out of the office, her co-workers are talking about the recent update about the
Amnesiac Killer. It turns out, the Amnesiac Killer never watched the film Deranged before.
This means that the film Deranged was not the motivation of the gruesome crime,
committed by the Amnesiac Killer. Ms Charming proceeds to drive towards
Frederick’s address in the middle of the woods. She comes there to cast for the sequel film,
since she hopes to meet Alice, believing Alice is her sister. As she arrives there, the film make-up
artist who seems to anticipate her arrival, welcomes her. The make-up artist then tells
her the product is all over the place, and ready to start. The make-up artist makes her wear the
dress, and fixes her appearance. It turns out, she will be cast as Alice’s sister in the film sequel.
In a few moments, the staff calls her, saying that Frederick is already waiting for her. They
also wonder why the producer is not there yet, as the producer never misses a gory murder scene.
After that, the make-up artist brings her outside, and splashes some blood on her.
She tearfully asks the make-up artist what they are planning for Alice. But the make-up
artist appears to be confused about her question. Shortly after, she heads to the deeper part of the
woods, where she finally encounters Frederick. She then asks him where he got the idea for his film,
“Don’t Go to the Church”. In response, he vaguely says that all of his films are based on real life.
He then declares that people are mistaken to think that he creates horror, since horror is
already out there and within us. He also says that it is inside her. So he instructs her to
release the horror in her through her darkest impulses, for the sake of her acting in the film.
This makes Frederick provoke her to release it. But she keeps denying that there’s any
horror within her. He then attempts to leave, but she tearfully asks him about her sister.
As he sees her tearful face, he immediately thinks she will greatly act for the film.
The director then instructs her to enter her story, as they begin filming her.
She is in front of the cabin, and takes an ax with her as she enters it.
Inside, the beast-man actor embraces her, and says he has been waiting for her for such a long time.
After they embrace, she sees the beast-man actor trying to hurt her sister,
Alice. This time she completely breaks down, and forgets they are just acting for the film.
She begins to think that the beast-man actor is harming her sister in reality. This makes her grab
the ax to hit the beast-man actor. The beast-man actor then tells her it’s not part of the script.
But it’s already too late, as she angrily smashes him in the chest, making him fall to the ground.
Suddenly, she hallucinates a monster talking inside the wound. She then repeatedly hits his
chest in madness, while everyone around her is shocked by the gruesome scene. Frederick arrives,
completely stupefied by what he just saw; while Alice runs away in fear. Upon seeing him, she
also hits him with an ax, which instantly cuts his head off. Apparently, she also kills him,
thinking that he’s exploiting her sister. After that, she proceeds to chase the terrified
Alice, while holding an ax. Alice thinks that Ms Charming would kill her. But Ms Charming assures
Alice that she will never hurt her, because she believes that Alice is her sister. In confusion,
Alice shouts at her, telling her that they are just sisters in the film, but not in reality.
Ms Charming then sobs, and repeatedly begs Alice to be her long-lost sister. Completely devastated
by the truth, Ms Charming completely loses a sense of reality, and begins to hallucinate.
In her hallucination, she sees Alice as her long-lost sister coming back to thank her.
Alice then says that they can now go home as they finally reunite. So Ms Charming and
Alice run happily through the woods. After that, they happily drive together towards their home.
Meanwhile, the radio broadcasts that video nasties have been eradicated completely;
and in return, the crime rate in Britain drops to zero. This makes Ms Charming happy,
since her job’s purpose is fulfilled. Soon after, Ms Charming and Alice arrive at their home,
where they have a heart-warming reunion. But this happy ending is only Ms Charming’s hallucination.
In the end, Ms Charming kidnaps Alice; while her parents are completely horrified by her actions!
