The man who brought alien rape to British cinema finally gets his close-up.
A documentary on the life and career of the legendary British exploitation film director Norman J. Warren, who gained a name for himself in the sexploitation business in the late 1960s before moving into low budget horror pictures in the 1970s and 1980s. Produced for the American release of "Inseminoid", which debuted on Blu-Ray in the USA on March, 10th 2020, this extensive documentary draws on hours of footage of Warren and also some of his best known collaborators such as the screenwriter David McGillivray.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Warren represents a lost ecosystem: British filmmakers who survived entirely outside the studio system, often shooting in derelict country houses with actors paid in sandwiches.
The documentary's existence is itself a meta-commentary—produced solely to justify an American Blu-ray release of a 1981 film most Brits watched on censored VHS.
