HeroCritic Not looking like a really professionally done movie. Everything was bad. Bad acting, bad music, meaningless plot, stupid procession of the plot, if we can call that a plot. Waste of my time and disappointment i would say is my final verdict. Stay away if you value your given time on this earth, you ain't getting it back! Too many things are wrong with this movie. I can't think of one good aspect of it. You don't get it in the end. At least i didn't. And it is also a kind of a copycat of several other related movies, but in a way that does not make any sense at all! I guess it is a talent to do that. I would say do not waste your time like i did, there are many other things a human can do with free time than watch this thing.
kakoilija after seeing a real dead child live, and watching traces of death collection, basically seen all the REAL terrors of humanity, i've been quite skeptic about these kinds of movies.this was not surprisingly utter crap. if you haven't seen any other movie that contains lots of gore, then this movie probably scares you.otherwise... i was immediately struck when the so so terrible synth violins and quire started playing... get some real music... i've always thought that bad synth music just makes film a cheap one.the name snuff has nothing to do with this one... watch guinea pig (and read the aftermath) series those are more snuff (even though they are complete crap as well). i don't know what so special was about this movie.if i hadn't seen all the horrors that i have seen, and hadn't listened to a lot of good MUSIC (well produced too like Arcturus, Ulver, Navicon Torture Technologies, Cold Meat Industries, Mayhem, Horrorcore, some Evol Intent and other intense stuff...) maybe then you'll like this... which makes you anyways pretty ordinary person. (I would NOT recommend the Traces of Death collection to anybody who doesn't want to be traumatized for life =D)...You won't miss a thing. Don't get this to your DVD collection. Rather get Belgian Man Bites Dog, Human Porc Chop, Irreversible, The Uninvited, Tell Me Something or even Happy End?.The sex scene is pointless. Manson ripoff =D. This one lacked the feeling, and intensity it claimed. If the title had been boring people with some mild nudity and little gore then I would have given it 5 =D...And yes... I will make a better film than this in the future (I think then people can bitch about my film if I fail =D=D=D). I got pain, and I can give pain on FILM! HAIL Satan!
Mary Clancy Mr. Bernard Rose. I wasted 92 minutes of my precious time on your drivel. First off, the title is completely misleading. Look "snuff" up in the dictionary. You might be surprised at the actual meaning of the word. I do not appreciate lies. Secondly, I was confused. And not in a good way. The story line was not clever, and I doubt any person with a normal intelligence was impressed.The acting was terrible. The "special effects" were awful. The blasphemy was not a witty touch.I cheapened my mind. I made my purse that little bit lighted. Thanks Bernard. Thanks a bunch.So, to anyone who actually looks films up on this before watching them, I advise you to not waste your time or money or life on this.Absolutely mind numbing.
Richard Brunton The title of this movie gives the impression of something dark, tight, psychological and on the very edge of acceptable cinema. I'd say the last statement is most definitely true, it is on the edge of acceptable cinema, because it contains mediocre acting, a confused and torn script, and no conviction.It's a shame because there is a message in there, and the lead character does manage to say it in no uncertain terms during the movie, and that's because he has to. There's really no other way to get to the moral of this tale through the confusion.The second of the opening scenes remind me of the British Television advertisement for a certain directory assistance number, cheesy 70's outfits, hairstyles and moustaches. The section is supposed to portray events in the past, and from the beginning you can see the poor acting. There is much overplaying to the camera, and scenes of actors looking as though they're trying to find something to do to fill the time until the Director yells cut.The first of the scenes is equally as bad and amusing, but then we are expected to see that as it is supposed to be an old cheesy horror movie. Some grounding an basis for the entire movie, but also to show us the level of gore that we're going to be seeing. There's nothing slick or costly about the effects, they are cheap and cheerful, and although some might be deemed shocking, there's nothing really off-putting in the movie.From these opening segments we return to the present day to find the ex-laird of Glenbogle (another British Television event) is indulging in some rather frisky behaviour, obviously in a desperate attempt to try and shed his previous TV nice guy image. It fails though, and throughout this movie he sticks out like a sore thumb.The script is so confused that scenes just seem to happen out of nowhere. For instance suddenly we're all outside and there's a huge audience of onlookers watching events. This from the previous premise where we were all in a house being filmed by webcams. This is probably the best example of the confusion we were shown and felt.It attempts, from an early stage, to address some issues on the Internet, freedom of speech, the fact that anyone can broadcast anything online. Yet it stumbles over them, readdresses them through the script, and doesn't really say much about them by the end of the movie. In fact at the end it seems to take a totally different tract altogether, and doesn't seem to have been about anything at all. Very confusing.Add to all this that it's filmed poorly and seems to have been thrown together editing wise, and it's an altogether awful movie. IMDb lists this as still in Post Production, and perhaps we were treated to an early cut at the Edinburgh Film Festival 2005, who knows. It was just bad.There were two moments though that actually got my feelings moving. One was when the ex-laird Alistair Mackenzie sits down at a computer while his girlfriend is away for the evening, starts a can of lager, and pulls up Google with a search for some porn. By the time he's on his third can you can see the searches getting worse. This actually raised a good laugh from the audience, and was something you could instantly connect to.The second was a stabbing scene late on in the movie, a man is stabbed in the stomach, all the time you see his muscles moving and there doesn't look to be a special effect in sight. That was unnerving and is probably the only scene where you would consider the possibility that it was living up to its title.There it ends though. The female lead Lisa Enos is weak and unconvincing, and what the hell has happened to Jeroen Krabbé, his role is awful.I won't go on. There's nothing to redeem this movie bar a laugh and an awkward moment. I'd avoid like the title should have suggested.
