I could never bring myself to do that..
Sure..pretty much all humans have that morbid curiosity in them, me included(probably why we write, film and watch movies like this).
But once you had seen something lke that you would never be able to forget it, you could never un-see it. It would screw you up a lot.
Only a real sicko would WANT to see something like that.

one of my friends tricked me into watching a fake snuff film. it was that guinea pig movie. not expecting it, i thought for sure this was real and it seriously messed with my head for a couple of days. *beep* told me that it was just a cool samurai film.

i don't think i would ever consciously want to watch a real one.

This world is not conclusion; A sequel stands beyond, Invisible, as music, But positive, as sound.

A lot of people think that they could take it. Including rural and suburban kiddies who have had their fill of Hostile and Saw, but in reality most people can't take true cruelty without loosing their mind.

I'm sure many of the servicemen who are coming back from Iraq and blowing their own brains out at disproportionate rates probably thought they could handle it since they played Halo growing up. Guess not. And jobs like paramedics and nurses have high burn out rates.

I also find it amusing how most young western males are often disgusted and repulsed by every-day by bodily fluid such as menstrual fluid from their girlfriend or a baby's dirty diaper, but think they can handle real blood and guts.

I gotta admit I would prolly look for it. I mean after that kid committed suicide on cam a few weeks ago I looked for that. Its not really me wanting to see people suffer or anything, its just curiosity. I mean if I know its there Im gonna end looking for it...

I bet you're a coward in real life. I bet you would piss your pants if someone pulled a gun on you or tried to fight you. People like you talk tough but in reality wouldn't have the balls to see it face to face. You're the type to just scream "oh my God" endlessly.

I think morbid curiosity would get the bestof most people and they would watch, but only a few would actually admit it.

Lot's of people would. Ever heard of 'Faces of Death'? Millions of people watched those movies; they can't all be psychopaths or sociopaths. You could rent them on VHS tapes back in the 80s. I assume they're on DVD now.

Then there was the Ogrish website. Millions of hits before it was shut down.

Hell, I remember seeing snuff theaters in Times Square back in the 70s with titles on the marquis like: 'See a man killed and eaten by a lion."

Nothing new. Romans would pay to see gladiators killing each other.

reply

You make a good point about the Gladiators killing eachother and people paying for you, i guess its kind of the same.

I will admit, my morbid curiosity would want to see it. Its like seeing a car crash and seeing someone laying on the road, you cant help but turn to see it. You know that you are pissing off the 150 cars behind you because you are going SLOW to see this, but they will be doing the samething.

I wonder how many REAL snuff films exist...has anyone seen 8MM with nicolas cage?

reply

I wonder how many REAL snuff films exist

There is no record of the existence of a real snuff film. There are plenty of videos of people in the process of being killed but they don't qualify as snuff because they were not made for profit.
