Blood Bath – Rare UK Pre-Cert VHS from Hokushin Video

A true gem from the golden era of VHS horror! The UK pre-cert release of Blood Bath (AKA Bay of Blood) from Hokushin Video (Hokushin Audio Visual Ltd.) is a sought-after collector’s item among Video Nasty-era enthusiasts. Released in the early 1980s, this brutal and obscure horror film gained notoriety for its excessive gore and chilling atmosphere—making it a must-have for hardcore horror fans.

Before the Video Recordings Act of 1984, Blood Bath circulated freely on VHS, adding to its legend as a tape that could shock and disturb unsuspecting viewers. With its bold, blood-soaked cover art, this Hokushin release remains a classic piece of UK home video history.
