Snuff: A Documentary About Killing on Camera
Ever seen a Snuff Film?
Directed by Paul von Stoetzel
A deeply unsettling investigative documentary that examines the myth and reality of snuff films through expert testimony, grappling with the intersection of violence, media, and human depravity.
This documentary examines the existence of films in which people are murdered on camera and the culture surrounding them. Through interviews with former FBI Profilers, Cultural Academics, and Film Historians the documentary delves into the disturbing history and myth of Snuff Films. The FBI claims there is no evidence to prove the existence of Snuff and, therefore, Snuff Films are a myth. This documentary analyzes the relationships between war, cult films, serial killers and pornography to prove whether or not this pervasive myth is, in fact, reality.
