Madhouse | 1981 | Italy | Ovidio G. Assonitis
Yet another puzzling entry onto the prosecuted list, the film is a slasher centred on schoolteacher Julia, who after a warning from her deranged twin sister Mary, begins to be stalked by a mysterious figure and a Rottweiler. As the bodies begin piling up around her, it seems that Julia's and Mary's mutual birthday is gearing up to be one hell of a party. It seemed to skip the UK cinema so the VHS release from Medusa was Britain's first look at the film. Clearly it was not a good first impression, as the film found itself promptly banned, mostly due to a simulated scene of a dog having its head drilled into.
