    best snuff style movie ever made!!!

    This is the best snuff style movie I ever seen! You swear everything you see is actually real and I guess that the point. Slasher Victim 666 and his family cult are going to take hollywood by storm. The best part is there actually a story so when it gets all crazy you actually care. Wayyy better than august underground and all the movies like that. This is the kind of movie I've wanted to see forever! Must see for true horror fans!!

    Excellent but just a fragment of the world that's been built here

    I read another review here that said they were approached by Slashervictim666 to watch this, and yeah I was approached the same way. Even though it says Chris Good Goodwin in the IMDb credits, Slashervictim666 is the 'reel director' of this.

    This is a tough movie to review because I feel the movie itself is only one part of the equation. There's so many things scattered online (that Slashervictim666 showed me) that are related to the film. The more you dig around, the more you discover. For instance, the lead character Todd Smith has a full-fledged YouTube channel with dozens of videos that make it seem like he's an actual legit person.... and that's just one example.

    Reel is actually a good title for this because with all the internet easter eggs and backstory, it definitely feels like it's real. If you just go into this cold, watching it randomly, it won't be as effective as someone who's had a chance to talk to Slashervictim666 and dove into all the world that is built here.

    Definitely highly recommended. I can't really relate it to too many horror experiences I've ever had. It's like watching Saw and then going online, realizing Jigsaw is a real person, having a chat with him and then finding instagram profiles of all his victims. Something like that.

    Anyhow, watch the movie but make sure you talk to Slashervictim666 before you do (or after). I think he's on every social media platform? There's a whole world to discover here and he's sort of the gatekeeper to it all. This movie is just a tiny fragment of what you'll find.

    Probably one of the best independant Movies your likely to see period ? .....

    What do we all want to do, be famous ? Reely famous, take a walk on broadway , live in Hollywood and become a star ???

    Todd Smith wanted it all so he was to become famous first ...

    Reel isnt your average film, Slashervictim666 isnt your average director, he has a goal in life and thats to get us all to the Golden House and become stars, everyone wants to become famous so SV666 is the keeper, no longer belittled in the Red Room by Doug his dad, he is now making his second masterpiece, his first REEL is a right of passage, you need to take it all in, in various steps and stages ...

    Follow the Journey first of Todd Smith he wanted to become famous and a big star like Quentin Tarantino, make movies with his name instead of big shot Hollywoodland directors, Todd has a youtube channel your first steps to be apart of the SV666 Family is to follow Todd, then you are up to speed...

    Next witness REEL it has 3 different shapes and forms DVD/VHS or Online, I chose the latter the Gate Keeper provided me with the key to the secret box, and opened my eyes as I was blind to Todds gift Slashervictim666 gave me fresh eyes to become a lifelong friend, he opened up with full arms ...

    Stage 3 if you make it is read SV666 book 111 pages of his best 50 influencial movies that gives you all you need to know about the beginning to the end, tips how to become a famous director and stories of his family tree ...

    Finally watch 4 episodes of "Who wants to be Reely Famous" and catch up with what happened after REEL and the slow progression to get you into the Golden House full of stars, walk onto the podium to REEL 2 which is coming soon ...

    All these will get you firstly into the family and get you a new friend for life and 2 you will witness some of the most realism shot footage seen by any director...

    Now REEL personally it was 9.5/10 movie, near on perfect from a unknown new director in Slashervictim666 showing you how he became famous and the story of Todd Smith you will be left in awe, breathless to what you just witnessed, flawed by everything that flashed before your eyes not once have I seen something as shocking and refreshing to a dmap genre as this, I have taken the step, read the book and watched the first 4 episodes of the followup series, I will be buying the dvd and so should you all, its a different movie / cut altogether if I can be shocked even more I will be 1 step closer to being family ...

    Overall take a walk on the wilder side and join Slashervictim666 on a journey that wont end unless you cut ties from his "Family" do something with yourself follow my steps and follow the link in the comments take the stages ti become famous Todd Smith did and now hes in the stars !!!!

    SV666 ❤

    SV666 masterpiece

    I only put 9 stars here because i gave the second one 10 stars and i liked that one even more than this one. Other than that, this film is really good. I found this movie series a few days ago on my own randomly, and was pleasently suprised to find i could watch it for free on their site. Even so, the film obviously took a lot of time, effort and money to make and it felt so real that i genuinely had to make sure this wasn't some accidental dark-web stuff i stumbled across (haha.) Really gore-y film and it was hard to watch when things picked up but as i said for the second one, the storyline was really good and we get some insight on sv666's life and also todd's. I read a review that said this movie was ahead of it's time and i have to say i agree... these type of movies don't hit the cinemas nowerdays as for the extreme goreiness of it all but maybe one day they will get more out there and more people may enjoy them.

    Either way i was one of the many to watch this film before it was more well known, and i'm very happy to have checked these films out and hope more people will come across them.

    Pseudo snuff.

    A wannabe film director and found footage freak runs around blabbing about what a die hard extreme horror fan he is via vlogging. But he ends up becoming a victim himself after being set up by another film maker. The last part of Reel is brutal and full on. The earlier vlog stuff I fast forwarded at times, as the main character was annoying.

    Gnarly.
