video nasties was a colloquial term coined in the united kingdom by 1982 which originally applied to a number of films distributed on video cassette that were criticized for their violent content by the press, commentators such as mary whitehouse, and various religious organizations. 

while violence in films released to cinemas had received attention from an official body, the british board of film censorship, for many years, the lack of a regulatory system for video sales combined with the claim that any film could fall into children's hands led to public debate. many of these "video nasties" were low-budget horror films produced in italy and the united states. the furore created by the response to video nasties led to the introduction of the video recordings act 1984 which imposed a stricter code of censorship on videos than was required for cinema release. several major studio productions ended up being banned on video, falling within the scope of legislation designed to control the distribution of video nasties. due to a legislative mistake discovered in august 2009, the video recordings act 1984 was repealed and re-enacted without change by the video recordings act 2010.

Eli Roth

Horror director series continues with an infamous entry!

Eli Roth is a name closely associated with shaping modern horror. I feel like he and M. Night Shyamalan really picked up the mantle of horror directors in the early 2000s, shaping the genre of the time (for better or worse) and both being simultaneously kind of respected and derided. He also joins contemporaries like Alexandre Aja and James Wan in the so-called "splat pack" of horror directors -- filmmakers who make bloody gory splatter movies.

I've heard conflicting information about what kind of person he is -- some folks say he's a sweetheart, some that he's a douchey bro -- so take that with a grain of salt. I will say that his films do have a tendency to lean into a certain...early 2000s edgelord douchebro aesthetic, and that he also seems genuinely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the genre and its history. So.

But let's talk about a couple of his films, shall we?

Cabin Fever (2002) is a horror comedy about a group of teenagers(?) who go to a cabin in the woods to party but are exposed to a flesh-eating disease and begin to turn on each other in paranoia.

The film was Roth's directorial debut, and he also wrote the script. His original vision was pure horror, but the market in the early 2000s wouldn't bear a straightforward original horror script so he added comedy elements. And oh boy. Oh boy. We were in a weird fucking place in the early 2000s.

This movie is such a time capsule of some of the worst parts of youth culture at that time. I also cannot quite shake the impression that this movie is about homophobia, despite that not really being part of the text. Like, yes, some things are called "gay" in a perjorative sense the way a lot of obnoxious teenagers called things "gay" in 2002. But it goes deeper than that. It's a film about infection (and the cruelty men are willing to exert on the afflicted in the name of avoiding contamination). It's presumably about hooking up with women, but every sexual interaction is either painfully awkward or horrifying. Pretty much every friendly interaction between men has an implied "no homo" attached. Feelings are gay. Toxic masculinity is the only route (even when it repeatedly makes things worse).

Just. Hm. I don't know to what extent any of this is intentional. But it's Something.

(This film is also ridiculous and you have to be willing to suspend disbelief and approach it as a comedy operating on comedy logic more than a horror film. Otherwise by the time you get to the ridiculous animatronic deer legs waving around through a car windshield, you won't be howling with laughter, and that's a real shame.)

The Green Inferno (2013) is about a group of well-meaning but naive college activists who fly down to South America for a filmed protest stunt to save the rainforest...only to run afoul of an isolated pack of cannibals.

This film is an obvious and overt homage to Cannibal Holocaust and other mondo horror of the 1970s. And if an underlying theme of Cabin Fever is "feelings are gay," then most assuredly a theme of this movie is, "caring about things is stupid."

The tribe depicted in the movie is fictional and highly stylized. When faced with criticism over his portrayal of the tribe members as savages, Roth said:

"The idea that a fictional movie about a fictional tribe could somehow hurt indigenous people when gas companies are tearing these villages apart on a daily basis is simply absurd. These companies don't need an excuse—they have one—the natural resources in the ground. They can window-dress things however they like, but nobody will destroy a village because they didn't like a character in a movie, they'll do it because they want to get rich by draining what's under the village. The fear that somehow a movie would give them ammunition to destroy a tribe all sounds like misdirected anger and frustration that the corporations are the ones controlling the fates of these uncontacted tribes."

He's not wrong, precisely, and I think this -- taken in context with a similar-but-different situation in Hostel (my favorite Roth film) paints am image of what kind of filmmaker he is and what he cares about. I think he's the kind of person who can accurately see injustices in the world and then takes it upon himself to reveal them in ways that may or may not be a little exploitative, sensationalist, and clumsy but ultimately well-meaning?

Personally, my biggest beef with this movie is how completely random and nonsensical the cannibal behavior is. Like, I get that their intentions are meant to be inscrutable as a hitherto undiscovered tribe with no contact with white people. But they just do weird shit for the sake of doing weird shit. Like, they kill and cook multiple people in the course of this film, and their culinary technique leaves a lot to be desired. They slaughter people inefficiently, don't clean the carcasses properly, undercook the meat, spend a lot of time rubbing colored mud/spice blend(?) on people's clothing (???) and have some kind of apparent obsession with a character's virginity? It's very all over the place and honestly, in my mind. felt pretty silly.

For my money, I say watch Hostel instead. I review it elsewhere on my blog (just search my tags for Hostel) and I think it's a finer film that touches on some similar ideas re: white folks keeping their nose out of places it doesn't belong.

In Green Inferno, the village people get high from eating weed laced meat. If Hannibal were to eat someone on drugs, like they took them just before they died, would he feel the effects? 🤔

The Ethics of a Cannibal Holocaust

Fuck me, dude. Ruggero Deodato's CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST is an excellent, harrowing, disturbing film--with the mockumentary format, he even had the courts convinced that he was shooting snuff and wasn't let out of confinement until he provided them the actors, all in good health, from the film, on record. Yet, of course, there was not nearly as much outrage concerning the vicious animal cruelty in the film. (I am saying this right now: If I knew there was an animal cruelty-free cut of CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, I would have watched it, and do regret my ignorance deeply.) This cruelty is, obviously, my biggest complaint about the movie, and not just because it's horrible, but because it is the absolute ANTITHESIS of Deodato's moral: DON'T GO STOMPING AROUND WHERE YOU DON'T BELONG AND BEHAVE LIKE A MONSTER BECAUSE YOU FEEL YOU ARE IN MONSTER TERRITORY. You go from fearing the tribe of the Green Inferno to understanding that they know no other way of life and that the real beasts are the Englishmen filming them, toying with them, and playing God with them (and to this tribe, which has never seen camera equipment or known such a thing could exist in their world, they are Gods). It truly is excellent, until Deodato goes in for the animals, like when he has his actors remove a tortoise from a river and perform acts on it which I will not repeat. Until Deodato becomes just like the beasts he's trying to warn us about, a cocky intruder and a killer. It is comforting to know that he regrets these decisions and I am thankful he has provided us with a version you can actually watch. But, for whatever reason, the hypocrisy of the situation is still something I don't think I can fully get over. I mean, that tortoise would probably still be kicking today if not for those bastards, and kicking still when we are long gone. And yet we insist we are not animals.

“Christian’s Inferno is sort of the ugliest place you could possibly go to in your brain. A lot of people have a self-destruct button. I think for a lot of rock musicians when you’re celebrating it turns into partying and then suddenly you’re fucking yourself up and you’re destroying something you worked so hard to build up. There’s this shiny red button you just want to push.” — Billie Joe Armstrong
