Dangermartin "From the Director of Candyman" was what convinced me to buy this film, and also the fact that it stars Jeroen "Georgi Koskov" Krabbé. I'm not sure what I expected from this film and I'm still unsure as to what it was that I actually saw. Throughout the entire film I was confused as to whether I was watching a work of pure genius or the worst pile of excrement that I have ever seen.The film had promise but was let down by poor acting and would have benefited from a larger budget. The plot twists and turns, and stumbles and falls... However there was something about this film that I liked, I just can't put my finger on what it was. Maybe i'm just not of high enough intelligence to fully understand it, or maybe it actually was just a terrible movie... I don't know. But I like not knowing. I wouldn't recommend this film to fans of 'Candyman' but i'd say its worth a watch if your into low-budget horror movies.5/10 - purely because I watched it 3 days ago and i'm still thinking about it. So it can't be that bad, right???

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!

dragonmaster0303 I really hope these one/two star reviewers aren't confusing this with the film 'Snuff' (which really does deserve only one or two stars) because it'd be a shame if people were put off this film by a misunderstanding.Or perhaps it's just too clever &/or confusing for them? It twists and turns all over the place, in fact I've never seen a movie do so many u-turns! Maybe it's just too much for some people to keep up with and understand - and again it'd also be a shame for anyone to be put off for that reason.This may not be a Candyman type horror movie (and maybe that's the problem they have - it's not a high budget conventional horror film), but even with a lower budget, Bernard Rose shows he's a great director. I only wish he'd made more horror movies over the years.Anyway, I love this film and I can honestly say it's got better with each viewing, which is something I can't say for many films and as of yet I have not lost the urge to watch it over and over - surely the sign of a great film. If you like horror, but don't have 'big budget Hollywood' hang-ups and aren't afraid to watch something a little bit different, give this a go.

Peter Loch I have seen some terrible movies, but this definitely ranks in my top 10. Multiple award nominee, and winning actor, Jeroen Krabbé (presumably one of Hollands best ???) really outdid himself with bad acting and the most hideous "dutch-english" accent ever. Krabbé is said to be a great actor...well..I have to see his first good role yet! When the film starts we are warned that this is a REAL and GENUINE snuff movie (yeah...right...with mainstream actors...duh...) but nevertheless I thought giving it the benefit of my doubt. I wish I never did. The start of this monstrosity is very loosely based on the Tate murder by the "Manson-family" with writing on the walls etc., but if they tried to give a kind of a Mason like twist to this "movie" well, they didn't succeed...Does the acting don't make you feel sick yet, then the "killing" will absolutely do so. One of the characters is killed in a van by 3 young girls ("Teeth" (with vampire shaped teeth...all of 'em...) "X" (coz she has an X carved between her eyes) and "Young" (coz she's young), original er ??)...don't ask me where the blood comes from...it's just THERE !!So even if you have 93 minutes of your precious time to spare, don't, no really DON'T waste 'em on this piece of rubbish !!!
