(Opening Warning Sequence)

Seriously did they forgot to run a spell checker or didn't the budget allow it?

Still have to watch the rest but this doesn't look promising lol

All done: uninformative, incoherent, "usual added studio sound effects when someone tells a horrible story" (you know the drill)

As a documentary this fails. Maybe the BBC can do a better job but this wasn't a decent piece of journalism on the topic, which I was looking for

I suppose it wasn't supposed to make sense, just shock as usual (actually it bored more)

2/10

The doc itself was okay, IMO, but after seeing the trailer (AFTER watching the doc last night), I'm disappointed by how sensationalistic they opted to go. They could have expanded on Kuzetsnov (because that sounds like the closest anyone's gotten to real actual snuff) , but instead they wound up with Rosen's story because it was the most sensationalistic thing they could come up with.

And the whole premise of the "enjoy" tape mentioned in the trailer was completely left out of the doc... false advertising.

Ha I noticed that too...Totally awesome documentray.

Not very good documentary.

Something Weird stuff is a lot better.

I agree with everything. They focused way more on "faux snuff" than the real thing. I would've much preferred information on Dmitri, a person who actually made real snuff, than rehashing Henry and Columbine. Sure, they were both decent for their time, but they're not snuff.

I was hoping someone noticed! I suppose they were trying to create a new film genre?

Oh well it was the best documentray I've ever seen.

Not the best documentary I've seen by a long shot.
