Snuff Perversions: Bizarre Cases of Death

Snuff Perversions is about a police detective and a psychologist analyzing some (fake) snuff films.

As the film begins, we get a brief explanation of what is a snuff film and after this, we will see the first snuff film (wich is actually pretty "mild", but the rest of the snuff films are more shocking, gruesome and disturbing) The snuff films contains torture, murders, rape and more.....

Since i am a lover of low-budget flicks, i can say that i liked this Little lost gem, maybe the special effects are not that realistic for shock everyone, but the most shocking aspect of the movie is the "dirty", "immoral" and "violent" atmosphere that surrounds the snuff films. A sequel was made, but it's not listed here on IMDb, the sequel is called: Snuff Perversions 2: More Bizarre Cases of Death (also known as: Shock 2000).

If August Underground showed everything that can go wrong when you try to make extreme cinema without control or intention, Snuff Perversions: Bizarre Cases of Death is, on the other hand, the perfect example of how to do it right. Not because it's more elegant, deeper, or more technical. But because it understands its own rules and respects them with surgical precision: to disturb, shock, and entertain, without pretension, without filler.

Here, the lack of plot isn't a problem. It's a virtue. Each segment functions as a horror capsule, straight to the point. None lasts more than five minutes, and that's key: there's no time to get bored, no room for monotony. Each scene throws you a new situation, a new twist, a new kind of visual perversion. And the whole time you're thinking, "What are they going to do next?" That impulse of morbid curiosity is exactly what a fake snuff should provoke: the constant doubt between the real and the acted, the grotesque and the ingenious.

Visually, without being refined, it's much more effective than its competitors. It doesn't attempt to disguise itself as an authentic documentary or overload the colors as if saturation were synonymous with brutality. The result is dirty but readable, shocking but plausible within its logic. It doesn't feel like a caricature, but rather a bastardized cross between amateur horror cinema and experimental video. And it works.

After this installment, only Pete Jacelone-one of the many directors of the original-repeated on the sequel (Shock 2000), which is even better. Jacelone then pursued a career in independent horror cinema, and it's not hard to understand why. Of all those involved, he was the only one who understood the potential of this format, not as empty provocation, but as a platform for creativity in the most absolute darkness.

Snuff Perversions isn't for everyone. It shouldn't be. But within its niche, within that swampy terrain where the repulsive and the cinematic intersect, it is one of the best examples of how shock value can go hand in hand with a minimum of structure, pacing, and tension.

I watch this film because "Tina Krause' was listed as one of the actors, sadly she dies in films, in this film Tina plays a snuff victim who is kidnapped and tortured. They slap her around as she is tied up in a chair. Her shirt is ripped open and they attach two live wires to her bare chest, then she's soaked with water and The guy flips the switch and TINA is tortured to death by electrocution. Not to spoil it or anything.

This little film here is definitely not for everyone. It's suppose to be about snuff films, or snuff film remakes. a lot of the material is pretty disturbing and gruesome. The rape scenes was pretty sick too. Definitely will offend some people!
