Snapped

Aside from two insane reviews posted here that are transparently obvious as the work of someone involved with the movie or a sick prankster, this waste of time has been universally condemned by IMDb users. I can only heap another shovel of manure upon it, as it is possibly the worst thing I've ever sat through. Not bad in a good way either, bad in a very bad way. Total trash, with NO redeeming features.

Unfortunately, it was through reading one of the two positive reviews on this board that led me to watch this in the first place. I've since signed up as a member, so I can see the weight of the balance in reviews damns this rubbish rightly to hell.

I move that the studio/prank reviews be stricken from the record so that nobody else has to sit through what I just watched on the basis of deranged lies. If you were thinking of whiling away 80mins, even if you have nothing better to do than grind pepper in your eyes, take the pepper option.

This film has a nice look to it, especially for an indie and seemingly low budget film. The sound is good as well. I was quite impressed by both. Too often, indies/low budgets (not that they're necessarily the same) have problems technically that obscure the gems of the film. In Snapped's case, much the opposite is true.

While the acting isn't overall terrible (notably the two female leads...who seemed capable of acting on some level), no one is more than competent. The dialogue was terrible, unrealistic. Several times, I wondered why the director hadn't ordered more takes. Some things just came off as too amateurish.

Finally, a problem that plagues many low budget films was present. Without getting into the specifics, there are at least two physical altercations that are basically implausible to the point of stupidity. There are other scenes where the shift in tone between interacting characters is so sudden and unmotivated as to be wholly unbelievable.

Not the worst film out there by any stretch of the imagination and I'd love to see what the technical people from this film could do with a real script and actors, but hardly worth a look.

Most comments here are somewhat harsh. This is obviously not an award contending movie with an A-list cast. It's a very low budget thriller and for that standard it's quite good. The female cast is attractive and does a good job, especially the lead, Tiffany Amber Knight. Among the male cast Joe Costa, as the villain does a good job. Some of the other cast aren't as good. While Hollywood productions go for big visuals and little story, this movie, like most low budget films, make up for the lack of explosions and flashiness with a solid and intriguing script with several surprising twists. The story has been described in other commentaries so I won't repeat it here. There is some interesting sexual tension between the two main female characters, which unfortunately doesn't ever come to fruition. The gore effects are good, but this isn't an all out horror gore flick. The movie does look very good I must say. The coloring is perfect, not too flat, not too rich. The sound is good. So technically this crew did a fine job. The things I didn't like were perhaps the pace, at times things get slow and even though the movie is short, maybe a little bit more could action and outside filming could have helped. The main disappointment was the lack of nudity. The movie starts out great, right at the opening credits there's some nudity, but that's almost all there is. The opening credits are more flashy than the rest of the film and was clearly filmed at another time and perhaps even by someone else as there is no indication that the same cast was used.

Well this film is definitely an experience I will give it that, yes definitely an experience, probably the worst experience of my life!!! Where to start on this pile of dump? OK the film begins and it becomes blatantly obvious that not a single person in this thing has had an acting lesson in their lives, this is terrible and possibly the worst film I have seen, and believe me I have seen plenty of garbage and this is up there with the best of them. It makes Nikos the Impaler look like a damn Oscar winner. Also apparent in this film is that the director had absolutely no idea what he was doing and was probably smacked up off his tits when he made it.

The way a low budget film usually works is usually that its so bad that its actually good, the acting is bad, the story is bad but its made and made so badly its entertaining. Snapped on the other hand is made badly, so badly yet it tries to be serious and in this department fails on every level. If your gonna try and make a serious film with a serious story and pull it off at least hire some people that can seriously act, otherwise get the hell away from the idea. Honestly it would of been more enjoyable spending an hour and 20 minutes getting booted in the knackers by a donkey.

Anyone who thinks of watching this, I beg you to just think it over properly and I advise you against it strongly. The film should come with a do not operate heavy machinery while watching this warning. However if you do watch this and make it all the way through like I did then you are seriously hardcore. I had to suffer this rectal waste of a production, you shouldn't.... stay away!

I give this film a... GIANT STEAMING PILE OF CRAP/10

wow, an honest horrible movie! ..one you can comfortably turn off after 2 minutes with a smile for it never tries to hide its minus zero production-value.

Atrocious acting, a screenplay from a high-school writing-contest and a plot straight out the Lazy Book of Rehashed and Done to Death Plotpoints. Do movies get any worse? They do, but only slightly...

Great fun with a couple of brews, some grass and a bored set of friends and a brilliant motivation to change the evening for the better and simply get out of the house to..take out the trash? ..just about anything is better than to sit through this one.
