Snuff

     Snuff is actually a very disappointing movie. Because of its appearance and marketing, it gives you the impression that it may actually be a snuff film (for those of you who do not know what a snuff film is, it's a film that depicts what appears to be an actual murder caught on film just for the fun of having it, usually occurring after a sex act). But alas, instead we are left with a movie that is slow, stupid, obviously fake, and has few surprises. The bulk of the movie is a very jumbled plot that after watching this movie three times, I still cannot figure out what it was really about. Upon seeing the ending though, I realize that this may have been done on purpose. 

      Anyway, the story is basically about a gang of hippie biker chicks that are also apparently followers of some dork calling himself Satan, cleverly pronounce as "Suh-ton". He controls these brainless broads with boobs in a Manson-like type of way. Anyway, a porn actress and her manager/director arrive in Chile (?) to make another movie. While there, she hooks up with an old boyfriend. The old boyfriend's current girlfriend (or possibly sister, it's never really specified) is part of this hippie biker chick gang. A plot is set in motion to slaughter them all which does eventually happen. After the last person is finished off, we see cameras and sound people and a director yelling "Cut!". Apparently, it was all just a stupid movie being filmed (that's why I say that the story really doesn't have to make sense because it wasn't really happening and could have been hypothetically shot only in part or out of sequence). 

      After the bulk of the people leave the set, a cameraman seduces the actress that is still laying on the bed on the set. The camera and sound crew draw nearer. The cameraman attacks the actress, stabs her, cuts off her fingers and hands, and eventually rips her guts out. He holds them up and gives a tribal scream. The screen then goes blank as if the camera has run out of film, but you can still hear the sound crew saying "Did we get it?" and "I think so." 

      This movie somehow got a rumor started about it, that it actually was a real snuff film, but after seeing the "snuff" scene, it's painfully obvious that it's totally fake. Also, this movie has tribal drums as a constant soundtrack. No music, no beat... just really loud obnoxious drumming. During the sex scenes, the drums will convince anyone listening that you are watching a terribly cheap porno. And if no one's around, then there's only you to be driven crazy by having to listen to them non-stop for an hour and 20 minutes. Personally, I found this movie to be very boring and I don't recommend it at all, but it does have a huge cult following, mostly due to the "is it real or not" factor. Well, for anyone who has even the slightest doubt whether it's real... It's not!!!!!!!
