This will probably be one of the shortest reviews ever on IMDb.
Nothing much to say about this movie more than Hideshi Hino really succeeded with his goal to make a movie that would make people believe they just watched a real snuff movie and a gruesome murder. There is no story to it, it just says in the beginning of the movie that it's a re-make of a "snuff movie" that was sent to the cartoonist on a VHS. That's just rumours. But at the time of the creating of the movie this sort of thing was a hype, and the fact that this movie could be real, or at least based on a real event, just boosted the attention.
It's done very well for its time. Almost everything that happens in this movie could be real, if you don't know much about this genre, because it's so well done, like a real snuff movie. Charlie Sheen believed it was real, which gave the movie even more attention after he contacted the FBI and told them he just watched a recording of a real murder.
Nuff said. This movie is worth a rating over five just because the notrosity, that's for sure.
