In the 1980s, newly arisen video distribution companies in Britain got the idea to [[Step Three: Profit|make a fast buck]] by adapting for VHS cheesy, low-budget and, for the time, rather violent Italian and American horror films of the [[Grindhouse|ilk that would later inspire]] [[Quentin Tarantino]] and [[Robert Rodriguez]]. Unfortunately, at the time there was no law that required videocassettes to be classified before being rented and anyone of any age could legally rent any video; so films such as ''[[Cannibal Holocaust]]'' and ''[[I Spit on Your Grave]]'' could be (and were) [[Harmful to Minors|rented by children as young as 10]].
