Snuffed Out

I didn't plan on writing a review for this, but then I saw that the rating is at 5.5/10

If that doesn't sound like a lot, for this it definitely is... No way in hell that anyone can actually suggest that this is a good movie...

It's a piece of crap on a disc

I've seen more hood-movies than most, I own about 100 on DVD so I know what I'm talking about when I say that this is probably the worst hood- movie I've seen... Even worse than Colorz Of Rage and Wrecking Crew

Like many hood-movies on DVD the person on the cover is not who the movie is about, it's about 2 prostitutes who accidentally murders their pimp or something like that, if that sounds intriguing it's really not... Most running-time is the 2 prostitutes being depressed in a apartment, and 1 of them thinking back of the good... Well less bad times...

The acting is awful, the plot is pretty much non-existent, the filming is crap I think they used VHS-cameras... It doesn't even come with a decent soundtrack... What more oh yeah on IMDb it's listed as a 2002 movie but in the movie they mention 1992 being 7 years ago, so I think it's safe to assume that it was filmed in 1999 and then just shelved for 3 years cause no one was dumb enough to want to release it...

I got it for 25 pence that's like 50 cents, and I still felt robbed

This movie is very low-budget which is hard to neglect, especially at the start (the light is not done by a professional, to say the least).

But I am not judging movies by their technical qualities. In fact, it is quite amazing what the director got out of such a low budget. The film captures the depressing mood of the main characters and their surroundings quite well.

The acting is reasonable and the story is, well, I'm afraid like everyday life in the ghetto. It is well worth watching this movie as a study of desperation, and don't expect any laughs.

7/10
