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 due to a legislative mistake discovered in august 2009, the video recordings act 1984 was repealed and re-enacted without change by the video recordings act 2010.
