This film seems to be about an actress going to South America with her director/boyfriend to make a film. While there, she has an affair with her other boyfriend. This other boyfriend has the director killed during the festival scene.
This actress then lives with her boyfriend and gets attacked by the killers at the end. This is when she gets stabbed in bed. The final few minutes are just a phoney death scene thrown in to shock audiences and has no real relation to the rest of the film. This movie is definitely in shambles.

The murder scene was real in the orginal version. They deleted it and substitued a fake version. I saw the first part of it and wish I hadn't. I waited until they had cut the girl's fingers off with a chain cutter and then I ripped the tape out the VCR and destroyed it.

Please, tell us more. You seem to know a lot about this film, even though you have only seen 'the first part' of it.

I have seen this scene on the original "pirate" tape and Im pretty sure its not real... I think it was all just a marketing scam.

See You In The Next Life!!!!!!!!

No it wasn't... come on people... a real murder included in a movie that's gonna be shown in every theatre? You suppose the directors are THAT stupid?

snuff was an underground/indie film of course it wasnt going to be shown in theaters across america

reply

Snuff played in some of the most prestigious movie theatres across America.

It is not real! The film makers marketed it as real so that stupid people like yourself would spread the word and more people would watch it out of curiosity. It seems their little plan is still working on gullible people over 30 years later.

This movie is SUPPOSED to be loosely based off the Tate Murders back in 1969. Roman Polanski's wife and some others were murdered by the "Manson family". She was 8 months pregnant and they brutally stabbed her; hence the scene with the pregnant chick. Manson also had three "popular" followers, all women, and he was often called the devil by the newspapers.

It's a terrible depiction, a terrible movie, and a terrible way to even attempt to tell such a tragic story. (If you could call this movie a story)

I had the misfortune of renting and watching the uncut version of Snuff. Take my word for it, the closing scene with the woman being tortured and murdered is real.
This scene was taken after the movie production.
The woman was not an actor, as she did not appear in the film, and was probably one of the movie staff. I could not watch past the scene where whom I assume was the director of producer cut off the woman's fingers with a bolt cutter (the same one used in the film). She fainted during this act and was waking up screaming and kicking shortly after. I broke the seal on the tape and deleted this scene, and inserted a message into the tape that it was deleted. I then returned the tape and wrote several letters to various law enforcement agencies to seize these copies from the video rental stores. Apparent this was effective, as no further copied have been rented with the original scene.
Movies are viewed for entertainment, and if anyone gets pleasure from watching any living thing, be it Human or animal, tortured and killed, then you will love this film. (See Seed).

Snuff is an urban legend, sir. Nice try for the Blairwitch style viral marketing but it's an old trick now. To suggest that someone committed a murder "for real" and put it on tape for the world to view is not merely ignorant, it's also the mark of an enormous moron.

reply

Thankfully, there has never been a single documented case of a genuine "snuff" film. As far as this particular film goes, the makers are well known and the story of another distributor who added the fake ending is also well recorded, whatever you think it looks like. All it takes is a little common sense; who on earth would attempt to film a murder they commited, and then distribute it worldwide? Your rental distributor would also be severely prosecuted (!). You can read all about the truth on Wikipedia.

Some bad people have been telling Bigdas porkies. Even worse he/she swallowed them. The woman was an actor, and she appeared in several other movies afterwards. I love the idea of a one-man/ one-woman crusade against a film, espacially one as bad as snuff. The law enforcement agencies probably think Bigdas is a crank, and if he/she had a brain in their head they would know that to delete the scene from the video would be destroying evidence of whatever crime you think had been committed. Nice one! Maybe the producer could be prosecuted for crimes against raspberry jam. The FBI investigated claims about snuff in the 1970s and found no evidence. No one could seriously believe that the final scene is a murder, and no snuff films have been found despite big rewards being offered. The stories are perpetuated by pathetically naive people like bigdas, who is just a big drama queen.

reply

No, bigdas just wants attention and smiles to himself when he reads all these threads generated by his meaningless posts. If you read his first and second post you see even within those posts themselves that there are discrepencies. He can't even stick to the same story. it's just a lonely billy-no-friends sitting on imdb.com.
