Ein deutschsprachiges Release gab es bislang nicht, was wegen der wohl vorhandenen Gewaltdarstellungen auch erstmal kein Wunder ist. Having said all of this, does this film serve a purpose? Yes, I think it does. Unlike August Underground, which was just based purely on shock value, this film attempts to explain the meaning of snuff films and the types of people who are into it.
So, it separates itself from the usual Pseudo Snuff Film, by at least attempting to give us an insight into the psychology behind these sorts of films in the sub genre.
However, this isn't much of a redeeming quality, and although it is of a higher standard in the Pseudo Snuff sub genre that in itself is a sub genre thats lacking in real movie quality talent, that is not saying much.
Viewer, definitely beware! ElijahCSkuggs 20 March Snuff is a hideous thought. From the hated August Underground films to the scene of child snuff in Running Scared, no matter the movie it still gives off a vibe unlike anything else.
Unfortunately for the sub-genre of pseudo snuff, most of them stink. But good news pseudo-Snuff fans, this is probably the best one out there.
The story instead of following the August Underground formula, which is the found footage type dealy ala Blair Witch Project, this uses the regular type of story-telling.
The story is simple enough, you have a girl who's researching Snuff and interviewing a lead researcher in the field.
You actually do get some nice information on how and why Snuff could work and could not work. Scary thinking, that's for sure.
Anyways, the story also switches gears back and forth from this girl to a group of girls who are held captive by a Snuff Maniac.
And one of these girls, is actually the girl who's doing the research. The story simply goes back and forth from learning about Snuff, watching Snuff take place and learning the history of the girls who are captive in the room.
Snuff , sounds like a class you'd take in college, but you end up learning it's not even slightly related to that. The story uses nice quick editing to make the violence seem much more real.
It also uses it's lighting very well. Each Snuff scene has an intense feel to it that definitely works. With an interesting premise, nice acting, and lots of blood, this is easily my favorite pseudo-snuff type film.
Due to the subject matter and the slow-burn type film it is, it's definitely not for everybody, even horror fans. Once again Now which should you trust on this movie??
In my case I should have trusted the vote But in contrary to the other reviewers I found this one much less shocking. Mainly because it tries to be intelligent by incorporating psychological statements, dialog thats as endless as the sequences of screaming girls and some artsy shots of meaningless pictures I was about to end the movie after the bleached out opening sequence.
The movie is roughly about the snuff genre and a woman investigating on it.. Now there is some plot and they even tried a kind of twist in the end but basically of course its about seeing girls bashed and tortured and even cheaper The mixture just doesn't work although the gore FX looks pretty realistic So if you mix movies like August Underground, Scrapbook and the style of Slaughtered Vomit dolls and add some try of being intelligent on it you can watch this since you already know what kind of production value is awaiting.
After all I found this one extremely boring and by far not as sick as Slaughered Vomit Dolls which had a very similar noisy and artsy collage style or as realistic as August Underground which was boring anyway.
Snuff is a new movie in the "overhyped and labeled as most brutal ever" category. Like all the movies in that category Murder Set pieces, chaos,etc its not "that brutal" as reviews and comments wants us to believe there are lots of fake reviews in this kind of movies, specially on MSP.
What is Snuff ? Well, lets start from whats not. This ain't a new August Underground, its a completely different kind of movie. Snuff Its a movie with a traditional plot, its not a "fake snuff".
The story is similar to Thesis or 8 mm but featuring some gross and very well done gore FX and some internet footage of animal killings.
Overall, its worth a look, its boring sometimes its too long and very slow-paced IMHO , the plot twist at the end is very predictable but its well done and its a good movie.
I just got my hands on this tasty little underground sicko. I watched it all the way through twice, without English subtitles or any dubs, and still got the complete story.
This is, end of story the most sickening, intense film I have ever seen. I am a collector of these so called "underground gore" films, i've got the august underground series, got every terrorist decapitation video there is and yet this movie shocked me more than any of them, the sheer grit and terror is anchored in with the pounding and i mean pounding soundtrack, consisting of mostly industrial and ambient pieces, it adds more emotion than ever.
The acting is not too bad, but when it comes to the "horror" acting screaming, crying it is superb, the best i've ever seen.
The main killer is relentless, sick and so good at what he does. This film to me is the next level in horror and pushes the boundaries so far, I don't think anyone will reach them for a while, not because of how graphic this film can be, but through the complete genius of Mariano Peralta and how he explores the theme's of the darkest parts of the human mind and giving us the ultimate in horror viewing.
This is not a film to be picked apon by gore hounds because there is not enough gore believe me the scenes include teeth being smashed in by a chisel and hammer and a pregnant woman having a 10 inch blade inserted into her Get this if you are ready for something to take you deeper than you've ever been.
All right. I felt the need to do a revised review as my last one was a little inaccurate. I just recently watched the film again and I think their were key concepts that I left out in my last review.
First, I'll start off the same way by saying that Snuff is actually an intelligent film. It's not just mindless violence that leaves you with a feeling of sickness.
The theme of the film is the impact violence has on the media and way it attracts even the most sane of people. The theme is mainly explored in the subtle parts of the movie where the reporter is doing an interview with the main villain himself.
This person is an author of best selling books that deal with violence. The reporter interviews him to get his take on violence and why it is perceived in different ways.
Eventually, she stumbles on his work in the form of pictures and he abducts her and has her bound and gagged in a abandoned building in the middle of nowhere.
The place itself is a nightmare with blood stained walls. Two more woman are abducted and all three are to become victims , ,and Each woman will be tortured and murdered in front of a video camera; a tape marked for each woman with the victim number; hence the name snuff Now, obviously the reason why this movie is known at all is because of how violent it is.
I will say this though; the reviews make this film to be 10 times worse than it is. The worst of the torture is merely implied and not truly shown.
Ex; A woman get fingered with a butcher knife, but you don't actually see it. All you see is the knife go between her legs, no close up and it's from a side perspective.
The sound effects however are brutal, but again you can just picture the sadist peeling an orange and you would get the same sound effect. One thing that I found interesting is that the worst for me was left out of reviews.
There is one scene; spoilers, where the woman's water actually breaks and her unborn child is cut out of her. Pretty sick stuff though the latter is only shown after the torture you don't actually see it happen.
Everything else has pretty much been done is horror movies; the thing that really sets it apart from those however is the overall mode.
The coloring and the effects make it look like a nightmare. The actors were great in this; the woman made you truly feel sorry for them and the sadist defiantly conveyed a true feeling of evil.
He is perhaps too good at what he does. I also really enjoyed the story and how it can relate to everyone mentally.
There are a few drawbacks. First, the film continuously changes perspectives which is needed as it's good to have a rest from the carnage.
The bad thing is that the fillers are incredibly boring. Many of them deal with the women's back stories and how they ended up being abducted.
Yeah, it good to show you character development, but the moments are very slow. The women that die in this film are shown to have sex and do drugs and the survivor is not shown doing neither.
I hate that because it makes it seem like that's the reason these women died, not because they were used as tools to fulfill the fantasies of a mass murderer.
The script is also not too good. The film had a great theme but the script meant to represent it was only good in certain areas.
The main concepts that I really liked about the film is that the music was minimum but also put exactly where it needed to be.
The acting was great and I thought the ending was very needed; you leave the movie feeling a little cheerful and clean in some perspective.
Overall, this film is not as brutal as it was built up to be, but defiantly was violent. It has a great theme to it and the acting is top notched.
As I said earlier, the script defiantly could've been better and some moments are dragged on for too long and becomes boring. Good film in the long run though.
HumanoidOfFlesh 2 April The depraved plot of "Snuff " is easy to follow:three girls are kidnapped and subjected to sadistic torture and murder by a masked Snuff Maniac.
She is tied to a chair,beaten,her fingers are cut off,she is knocked to the ground and finally the killer stomps her head,stomps her pregnant belly then rapes her with a large knife.
Give it a look,if you can stomach it. EVOL 25 February I first heard about SNUFF several years ago-right at the point when I stopped watching a lot of this sort of thing due to a hectic schedule and an overall 'burnout' on these so-called 'extreme-films'.
So now I finally got around to it I'm not going to bore you with what has already been described more eloquently by other reviewers as far as the content.
Suffice to say-it is an Argentinian film that has to due with the subject of snuff-films; shows some pseudo-snuff content; and tries to also give some sort of 'insight' into the snuff-film world This film-regardless of it's 'style'-does not fall into that sub-genre What SNUFF actually is-is a low-budget 'shock-film' with little substance that takes it's cues from the above-mentioned films, but has enough balls not to duplicate them.
And therein lies the problem and the 'positives'. It's equal parts boring and 'graphic' I applaud anyone who tackles this sort of subject matter unflinchingly- which the director obviously does though not nearly as gorily as others would have you believe A word to all you 'shock-artists' I don't care about watching people riding around in cars, or long, drawn- out scenes of your window-sill, or other pointless filler.
SNUFF would have been far more effective as a minute 'short'-much like all of this sort of material. Drawing it out to feature-length seems both pointless and pretentious.
Bottom line: I'd say that this one is yet another that's essential viewing for 'extreme-horror' fans-but do not buy into the hype that you'll be seeing anything that hasn't been done before, and better, in other films.
Sickcess 8 August This is quite a rare movie, so most of you who watched it must have sought it out and that means you must have had some idea what the movie was about.
Second, morals has nothing to do with the quality of a movie or any product of creativity whatsoever! And that is not an opinion.
That is a fact! If you think about it, you will hopefully realize why. Being a vegan, I find yhe animal killings repulsive, even though I can sort of understand their purpose, since the whole film is basically about slaughter.
And I don't think the animals are killed exclusively for the film. But regardless of the conclusions I draw from moral speculations, I won't let that affect my overall opinion about the quality of the movie, since it has absolutely nothong to do with it.
I would say this movie, together with A Serbian film, is the best extreme horror since Cannibal holocaust. The movie is about a reporter investigating snuff and interviewing a guy that seams to be some kind of expert on the subject with a background in sociology and analytical psychology.
I don't know if I missed something, but I found it unclear why this guy was interviewed. The imagery is brutal and very well made.
Some of the FX looks very real. And one of the scenes actually is real. It is taken from the internet and were shot during the Iraq-war. Even though I find the moral of including this clip questionable, I think it is somewhat defensible, sice it's not Peralta's clip at all, and serves both the purpose of showing the harsh reality and what exists on the internet.
But be that as it may, I still would have preferred not seeing that. Still doesn't affect the quality of the film in itself though. The movie is painful to watch for all the right reasons.
It displays several slow scenes of extreme torture and murder together with an awesome industrial soundtrack, which really helps setting the mood.
It is not the most brutal film I have seen. The vomit gore trilogy is still way worse. A Serbian film and August Underground's mordum is also worse and I think the uncut version of Cannibal holocaust is as brutal as this one.
And the downsides apart from some really questionable morals, which still don't have anything to do with the quality? I could really only think of one: The story in all its simplicity, is a little hard to understand.
I guess it is supposed to be in a nightmarish sort of way, but still, if you are going to have a story to go with the violence and the message at all, why not make the small effort to make the parts of it comprehensible?
It would only make the movie better. I am thinking of the mentioned "expert" mainly. Why not just tell the viewer why he was interviewed in the first place.
I must say though that I was a little drunk when I saw the movie, so I might have missed it. But I was only a little drunk, so I don't think so.
Overall , extreme horror is at its best, I think, when it says something about the times we live in.
And this film really succeeds well with this. The man getting interviewed really has interesting things to say about our culture, no matter if you agree with what he is saying.
I would say that his analysis is more insightful than what you can get out of most films that has a message. I found his comment about pornography to be especially interesting.
With this in mind the brutal imagery works really well when it comes to underlining and hammering in the message.
Ok, first an explanation. These are NOT horror movies. This is its own category, Shocksploitation. This is one of the sicker films that will be on this list, it is quite a trip.
A reporter looking into a serial killer that was recently apprehended decides to do a piece about violence. Her investigation takes her too far and she finds herself in a brutal nightmare, meant to be the nd "snuff" victim to a sadistic filmmaker.
Peralta does an amazing job setting lighting and music to the mood, the low quality of the camera he uses in many shots adds rather than detracts from the desperation and fear that coats much of this film.
I found it to be enthralling, the pace is quite slow at times, but the music and the often dirty seeming camera work really keeps your heart going and the violence always helps with that :-P.

Обзор фильма SНUФF 102 [ЗАПРЕТНОЕ КИНО 18+]Some of the snuff scenes are rather good, but many of its better qualities are drowned out by its flaws. La experiencia de ver esta peli a los 17 por un compa que le gustaba el gore.
I like gore and horror stuff but this was just gross in all ways possible. Bad cast, terrible acting, camera sucks, hyper trash editing Bad plot too.
This is an appalling joke of a film, as morally bankrupt as it is insufferably pretentious. Ostensibly about a female reporter investigating the underground of snuff films, it's mostly poorly shot, cellphone-quality footage of said woman and others bumbling around her apartment, in between sitting around being lectured by a "film scholar" who pontificates endless psychobabble about "real snuff" being "the dissection of women's bodies by the pornographic camera" and other such nonsense I guessed at the quote because I'm never going back through this thing; don't me.
In between, the film is punctuated by godawful, underlit torture sequences with all the color values blown out and endless howling and screaming looped on the soundtrack.
Some of the abuse…. Step One : Go to www. Step Two : Pick a Number. Watchlist of movies that only you and your best friends might appreciate.
Suggestion: Use www. This list was spawned from a conversation I had with a friend of mine, who was looking for some horror…. I guess that the number is the maximum for a letterboxd list.
Whenever I add some new movie…. Disturbing, sick, inhuman, bizarre, gory, perverted or alarming. The more the better.

Trailers and Videos. Snuff Hide Spoilers. An investigative reporter, researching the phenomenon known as 'snuff', gets some first-hand experience in the subject after she is abducted by a psycho, taken to a blood spattered basement, and filmed whilst tortured along with a couple of other unfortunate victims.
If you are a fan of extreme underground horror, then you have probably heard at least some of the controversy and hoopla surrounding this film about the realistic gore, which led people to believe that the on-screen carnage they were seeing was real, or how the director was beaten up by an irate member of the audience after one particularly nasty sequence.
However, any extreme underground horror fan worth his or her salt knows that it's never wise to believe the hype: more often than not, the rumour-mill isn't exactly providing accurate information.
For starters, I've seen this film described as 'faux-snuff', which it most certainly isn't: with its multiple camera angles, distinct narrative, creative editing, and an effective thumping industrial soundtrack, it could never be mistaken for 'the real McCoy' and I don't believe that was ever the director's intention.
Also, the gore in this film isn't really that graphic: sure The quality of the footage is grainy and has been treated with filters to achieve a distressed look; much of the action occurs in shadowy conditions, making it hard to discern what is happening; and clever editing deceives the viewer into believing that they have seen much more than they actually have.
So, the 'chiselled teeth' scene, although certainly nasty, isn't as stomach-churning as it might've been, and the 'stomping' of the pregnant woman the killer crushes her head and her distended belly , which is admittedly nauseating in concept, doesn't really warrant attacking the film-maker.
Much more disturbing, in my mind, is the inclusion of genuine images of pain and suffering taken from the internet the sort of thing to be found on dubious sites such as Ogrish or Rotten , and a couple of scenes of animals being killed and mistreated I always find real gore difficult to stomach.
Director Mariano Peralta has certainly delivered a gutsy, taboo-busting film which is genuinely unsettling, but is it the last word in gruelling snuff-themed cinema, as some might claim?
Definitely not. Snuff has far too many moments that drag a very dull beginning and lots of talking throughout , is a little repetitive, and features much too much in the way of artistic pretension for it to walk away with that accolade.
Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. Snuff is, without any doubt, the most authentic and mind shattering "faux" snuff film I have ever seen.
The scenes of violence, from the very beginning, displays a deeply disturbing level of carnage, meaninglessness and authenticity.
At the same time it shows the most fantastic images, in between the horrible torture, all in black and white. Little things, like rain and the washing of dishes, which almost becomes intimate, because of the great lighting and camera work.
These are the "breathers" of the movie Snuff , and you will treasure these moments. Everything else is pure pain.
I have seen my share of the nastiest movies out there. It's like an obsession I've had for a few years now. I grew extremely bored with the mainstream American horror scene, and the spineless, embarrassing remakes of foreign movies, that already were as they were meant to be.
Even original modern American horror film has become a parody of itself. This is why I was looking for exactly this kind of movie.
It's everything Hollywood isn't. Actually it not like any other movie I've seen, and that is only positive.
It questions our morality, ethics, consumerism, and at a point in the film, one of the characters makes an absolutely great comparison between pornography and snuff film.
This is not a movie you will stumble upon by accident. You have to really want to see it, because there is only one way to obtain it at this point.
It premiered at the Mar Del Plata International Film Festival, where members of the audience attacked and injured the director, before the credits rolled.
Mariano Peralta was accused of using real murder and torture footage. People are not as naive as they used to be when it comes to movies, so this only tells you how "real" Snuff feels to watch.
Choose to add this movie to your collection and you will get extreme violence and at the same time a harsh, philosophical comment on our depraved modern internet society.
Ten thumbs up! Prof-Hieronymos-Grost 3 October Gory Argentinian film that doesn't really have any plot, the film switches between a girl's home, a room where three women are being held captive by a psychopath and psychobabble by an expert who tells us what are the reasons behind Snuff films and why the subject holds the publics interest.
Snuff also intersperses some dodgy internet "Snuff" clips, all in all the film is a sickening viewing but it left this viewer cold. I like this kind of material on occasion, but it was more the styling of the film i don't care for.
Like the expert in the film says, those who watch such films don't really care for those that are being butchered, i have to agree.
Indyrod 9 April OK, now first of all, this type of movie is not for everyone's taste, but those that like to take a ride into the most extreme, this is one you should probably like or maybe tolerate is a better word.
I want to quote a user review from IMDb. One of them is pregnant. She is tied to a chair, beaten,her fingers are cut off, she is knocked to the ground and finally the killer stomps her head, stomps her pregnant belly then rapes her with a large knife.
During this shocking sequence director Mariano Peralta was beaten and injured by the angry viewers of Mar Der Plata Festival.
Not that the director was beaten and injured, but the fact that this movie played at a festival. I mean, what were they thinking inviting a faux snuff film to a festival of any kind?
To continue my quoting from the same review. They are nasty and disturbing. The acting is fairly convincing and the atmosphere of total evil is well-captured.
However the film asks several uncompromising questions about the evil side of a man. Give it a look, if you can stomach it.
There is a moral statement in this movie, and it does have a little twist at the end, which gives it a leg up on most of this genre of films, there actually is a story.
So what I am saying, is this is as close to a "Gone With the Wind" of fake snuff films as I have come across.
They use shadows, and some oversaturated colors, to hide some of the slicing and dicing, but you get the idea of what's going on without being shown so much obviously fake gore as in the Guinea Pig movies.
This ends up making the film even more realistic, because your mind fills in the blanks quite effectively. Is it worth all the trouble and expense you have to go through to order the DVD from Argentina?
From my point of view, the answer is definitely yes. When I heard about this movie, I had to see it. That's the bottom line, and the most sure way was to order it through their website www.
BTW, the Snuff title, refers to the nd victim of the maniac. SpannersGerm 8 July Now to start with, I would never recommend this film to anyone, with a clear conscience.
This is the work of utter evil and sheer cruelty of the highest order. Even if you are familiar with the works of Extreme Cinema, this one rises to an even higher level than that.
Upon watching this film, I got the impression that it was a work of hatred towards humanity and without a shred of apologetic or good intentions.
This is an exercise in sheer depravity. It depicts acts of violence from characters without a shred of redeemable qualities. Mind you, the film never pretends to be anything that its not and it promises on what it delivers.
Sheer torture, not only for the characters, but the viewer as well. We are thrust into a very very dirty atmosphere with a low budget that is evident in every scene, but the director takes advantage of this, making it even dirtier, if that were possible.
Having said all of this, does this film serve a purpose? Yes, I think it does. Unlike August Underground, which was just based purely on shock value, this film attempts to explain the meaning of snuff films and the types of people who are into it.
So, it separates itself from the usual Pseudo Snuff Film, by at least attempting to give us an insight into the psychology behind these sorts of films in the sub genre.
However, this isn't much of a redeeming quality, and although it is of a higher standard in the Pseudo Snuff sub genre that in itself is a sub genre thats lacking in real movie quality talent, that is not saying much.
Viewer, definitely beware! ElijahCSkuggs 20 March Snuff is a hideous thought. From the hated August Underground films to the scene of child snuff in Running Scared, no matter the movie it still gives off a vibe unlike anything else.
Unfortunately for the sub-genre of pseudo snuff, most of them stink. But good news pseudo-Snuff fans, this is probably the best one out there.
The story instead of following the August Underground formula, which is the found footage type dealy ala Blair Witch Project, this uses the regular type of story-telling.
The story is simple enough, you have a girl who's researching Snuff and interviewing a lead researcher in the field.
You actually do get some nice information on how and why Snuff could work and could not work. Scary thinking, that's for sure.
Anyways, the story also switches gears back and forth from this girl to a group of girls who are held captive by a Snuff Maniac. And one of these girls, is actually the girl who's doing the research.
The story simply goes back and forth from learning about Snuff, watching Snuff take place and learning the history of the girls who are captive in the room.
Snuff , sounds like a class you'd take in college, but you end up learning it's not even slightly related to that. The story uses nice quick editing to make the violence seem much more real.
It also uses it's lighting very well. Each Snuff scene has an intense feel to it that definitely works. With an interesting premise, nice acting, and lots of blood, this is easily my favorite pseudo-snuff type film.
Due to the subject matter and the slow-burn type film it is, it's definitely not for everybody, even horror fans. Once again Now which should you trust on this movie??
In my case I should have trusted the vote But in contrary to the other reviewers I found this one much less shocking. Mainly because it tries to be intelligent by incorporating psychological statements, dialog thats as endless as the sequences of screaming girls and some artsy shots of meaningless pictures
