Being somewhat a fan of Candyman, I was happy and looking forward to see Snuff here at the Edinbourgh Film Festival. The subject matter looked very interesting and me and my friends thought the time is right for another Grindhouse film. I was absolutely shocked to see what I can only describe as a bad Amateur Film then. Badly edited, shot on cheap looking video, this was something you might expect from a first time filmmaker, trying to break into the business (and failing at that) and not from an experienced horror aficionado. The story is boring throughout and telegraphing the plot points 20 minutes before they occur. It also makes no sense whatsoever. It is exploitive without any justification. I might even like that, if I'd been scared or shocked at any time other than about how bad it is. Avoid!

Title says it all. Couldn't decide what was more boring, the endless fight scenes (felt like watching total strangers play Streetfighter for hours) or the endless talking head scenes (felt like listening to drunk fourthgraders discussing philosophy for days). Some people like it, so I can't tell you to avoid it. But then again some people like to pierce their d***s.
