THE NASTY
, a coming-of-age horror story splattered with dark comedy, as a group of horror movie-loving teens bites off more than they can handle when the most sought-after video nasty ever slips through their fingers, and they are forced to film their
own
video nasty slasher movie – where evil, screams, and nightmares bleed into reality.
Keep telling yourself: “It’s Only a Movie. It’s ONLY a Movie! IT’S ONLY A MOVIE!!!
Isn't it?
CALLING ALL SCARY MOVIE FANS!
MACABRE MAYHEM! SATANIC PANIC!
Scotland, 1994.
Eighteen-year-old Graeme “Thumper” Connell still has an imaginary friend: the masked killer from his favorite slasher film. Thumper is obsessed with horror and always has been. He fills his time with scary VHS rentals and hanging out with his friends and fellow fans, The Murder Club. But everything changes when his local video shop acquires one of the notorious films known as “video nasties” — films so scary they’re the target of the British Moral Decency League’s crusade to ban and burn.
But it’s only a movie, right?
It’s all just imaginary, isn’t it?
