Did you know offensive content in today’s movies has increased nearly 800% since 1980?
The first swear word in a studio film was in 1939’s Gone With the Wind. Nowadays, our movies average 43 swear words an hour. We grew up with movies modified to be “TV appropriate,” meaning, when you go to show your family a childhood classic on Netflix, you might be shocked to hear how much swearing there was in the original movie. Not only has there been a drastic increase of profanity in our movies, but with countless streaming services at your family’s fingertips, gone are the days of edited-for-TV versions of movies.

Why use VidAngel if fast-forwarding is free?
Yes, your remote control is free. And so is covering your children’s eyes AFTER something has already popped up on the screen. Stop stumbling for the remote or pretending your psychic abilities are batting a thousand. Your remote is only as good as your knowledge of the future. VidAngel is like having a custom pre-programmed remote that will automatically skip sex scenes, nudity, f-bombs, blasphemy, all sorts of profanity, gore, and so much more BEFORE they come on the screen.
Don’t leave it up to chance. Free yourself of the guilt of hitting the mute or skip button a second too late. Use VidAngel to help you skip scenes you don’t want your teenagers, or YOU, watching.
“You can’t skip something you don’t know is coming, including language. And it’s very hard to skip things perfectly using the remote, in my experience. I watch for entertainment. Constantly skipping kills that. Why go to all the effort, when you have VidAngel which easily automates it for you. You can even customize the filters for each movie and episode, if you don’t want to use the defaults.” – Mark C.
Contrary to popular belief, most movies still have a plot, even without nudity. A storyline that is still worth paying attention to even when everyone is clothed. *gasp* People finding romance with shirts on and everything.The CIA spy thriller is just as thrilling without profanity. Want to watch a really good movie without all the garbage? Try VidAngel.
Hello, I’ve been subscribed to vidangel for years and I absolutely love the service you provide. However, I’m getting tired of not being able to find anything to watch. It seems like you cater to a certain group of subscribers interests. My feed is constantly filled with Sci-fi, fantasy, dark, thrillers, etc. Which I’m not into at all. I love all the Netflix series and reality series, yet they are no where to be found, except for Love is Blind. The reason I subscribe to vidangel is to watch my Netflix shows…yet I’m constantly searching for these programs and you never post them. I’m looking at my Netflix “trending” shows and you have almost none of them on vidangel…Married at first sight, Love Island, the ultimatum, Next Fashion, Love is blind Brazil, Love is Blind Japan, Indian Matchmaking. The list goes on and on. These are all Netflix created series that are trending…yet not on Vidangel. Why? Some people like that genre.
