Review of Snuff

Snuff (1975)
1/10
A Complete Fake That Touched Off A Fake Controversey
26 November 2002
There is NO SUCH THING AS A SNUFF FILM. In the history of law enforcement in the USA, Europe (Interpol) & Asia there has never, EVER been ONE SINGLE snuff film to turn up. And there have been a LOT of in depth investigations into the stories. Every single alleged snuff film that has turned up has been revealed as a fake. For a GREAT article documenting how the marketing for this sub grade Z cinematic turd turned into an urban legend, go to http://www.csicop.org. It is site for the magazine The Skeptical Inquirer. Type "Snuff Film" in the search field & you will come to the article which is an entertaining read as well as being fully & thoroughly researched with a LOT of footnotes.

"Snuff" (or "Slaughter" as it was originally known) is merely a footnote & an artifact of old fashioned expoitation film marketing. It is a bore & a big nothing as a film.
