In 1985, Enid Baines works for the
British Board of Film Classification during the height of the "
video nasty" controversy. Enid's co-workers call her "Little Miss Perfect" due to her insistence that violent content be cut or banned. While Enid is having dinner with her parents, they discuss Enid's sister Nina, who disappeared when the two were little. Enid's parents have since declared Nina legally dead, but Enid believes she is still alive. Shortly after a man murders his wife and children, a tabloid newspaper links the killings to a film Enid had rated several months prior, naming her as the censor who approved it. Enid starts receiving threatening and insulting phone calls on a regular basis. One day, Enid is approached by Doug Smart, a film producer who claims veteran horror director Frederick North has personally requested she screen one of his old films, ''Don't Go in the Church''. While watching, Enid notices that the film depicts events evocative of her memories of Nina's disappearance. Investigating North further by acquiring a copy of one of his banned films, Enid notices that the film's lead, Alice Lee, bears a resemblance to her missing sister. Enid soon becomes obsessed with meeting North, believing that Lee is her missing sister who needs to be saved from the
exploitation film industry. When Enid visits Smart, hoping to learn North's whereabouts, he tells her that North is making a sequel to ''Don't Go in the Church'' near his home, while having her drink alcohol and getting physically close to her, making Enid uncomfortable. Enid rejects Smart who gets upset and becomes aggressive; Enid pushes him back and he trips and accidentally impales himself brutally on a film award. Smart dies as Enid stares in shock, thanking him for the drink before leaving. After stealing North's address from her work, Enid finds the set of North's latest film, where he and the crew assume her to be an actress. Increasingly confusing fantasy and reality, Enid kills an actor named Charles with an axe, thinking that he was going to hurt her "sister." She then decapitates North. A terrified Alice denies that she is Enid’s sister and flees from Enid as she begs for Alice to "please be her" before collapsing in the woods. A remote control appears in Enid's hand, and she presses a button. Enid is awoken by a seemingly happy vision of her sister, thanking Enid for finding her. Nina and Enid leave the woods and drive to their parents' home. During the drive, the car radio announces that all violent films have been banned, crime has been eradicated, and unemployment no longer exists. Enid's fantasy is sporadically interrupted, revealing that she has kidnapped Alice, who is begging Enid's parents for help as Enid smiles. The camera then pans out of a TV screen, and a VHS tape with the title Censor comes out of a VCR. ==Cast==
