Review of Snuff

Snuff (1975)
2/10
Not a real snuff film...but an incredible simulation.
14 January 1999
Designed to look like a snuff film, this is actually a South American movie, originally titled THE SLAUGHTER, about a drug-dealing Charles Manson type who enslaves pretty girls into his murderous harem. Really bad, but so obscure and weird in it's badness, it retains a certain power.

The directors tried to pass this off as an actual snuff movie by stitching an unrelated scene on at the very end where the film crew disembowels a young woman on the set. Even though it was all a hoax, the FX are impressive enough. And filmed with a hand-held camera, it certainly looks real. Although I've never really pulled a girl's intestines out, so I'm not really sure.

While light-years from being good, the motivations behind this film do make it memorable.
