The Great American Snuff Film

I feel like this movie was made by a sadistic 16 year old in film class. It is supposedly a documentary on a "real life" serial killer. Any research of his name reveals that this is not true making this movie worse. The poor acting/ sound/ lighting and direction could have been OK if it was supposed to be a documentary. But it's not. simple as that. This film fell flat with no redemption. The "real footage" at the end is obviously not real. (Nor did I want it to be, if it was as it was claiming to be, a true snuff piece). I feel this whole movie was made on a whim by a couple of board kids who wanted to meet pretty girls, so they threw them in this horribly made "movie"

So i tried to watch this "movie" and the first time i only made it like 20 minutes in and i just couldnt watch it anymore. This looks like it was filmed by 2 yr olds. Now i wasnt around in 2004 so of course i havent seen many movies shot with older cameras but i do spend a lot of time with my grandparents and they watch black white tv shows with better quality than this. Not only that the girls were not pretty lmao. This was a horrible movie and its not based on a true story unless they changed the name of the guy who actually killed the people, william allen grone has no obituary or any arrest records from the 1990s or whatever. There was one william allen grone from 2011 which definitely was not him. Anyways, save yourself an hour and a half. There's better snuff flims out there.

After reading about this notorious film i finally managed to get my hands on it.In some ways it lived up to my expectations but in several ways it did not.The female acting was good, male acting was bad, the sound was bad but the music was superb and spooky.Although still quite disturbing and gripping the violence displayed was quite poor and very overrated, and without giving anything away the supposed real footage at the end, wasn't worth waiting for (one reviewer even suggested that the footage was fake, surprise, surprise!!!)I'm glad I've seen it, just to say so but its not by far one of the most disturbing films I've seen..............unfortunately.........if it did not have the end footage to sell the film i would say stay well clear nothing new, but the fact that the film makers added this, give it a go. Fans of gore sites on the net will watch this film and think...and?????????????

I didn't have high expectations going into this one, but I figured it could at least be mildly entertaining, gruesome and so forth. Instead what we get is a very poorly acted, dull waste of time.

The Great American Snuff Film is about a pair of serial killers who capture a couple of girls for the purpose of filming them torturing and brutalizing them.

This movie is mainly narrated by one of the killers who tries to come off as eloquent, but instead is dull. The main issue with this movie is that it is incredibly boring. A low budget affair can still be entertaining with the right degree of violence,gore, and camp. This has none of that. A boring, unremarkable affair.

OK, this is NOT a film with superb acting, clever direction or high quality sound or production values...but hey, it doesn't claim to be. It clearly states at the beginning that this is a dramatisation of entries from William Allen Grone's journals, with the two-and-a-half minutes of Super 8 film recovered by police, thrown-in at the end.

The fact that the 84 minutes preceding the "real footage" is b-grade quality, adds to the realism. Its gritty, dirty, rough and raw - and because of this you are more easily affected by the events that transpire. I agree that the added Super 8 footage at the end is it's biggest selling point, but if you love films that challenge the concept of what film should be, than you will appreciate this film.

Overall, not the most shocking of films, but a worthy entry into exploitation cinema.
