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.-0/10

I got this thinking it was a movie but I was wrong. Someone borrowed their moms video camera and taped their friends running around. I want to go into detail about everything thats bad about this but I would be wasting my time. I have to admit the first 30 seconds or so had me believing this was a movie, but two minutes later I wasn't sure if they were joking or not when a fat goth chick starts kicking some guy for gambling debts(they're not joking, she's supposed to be tough). I feel stupid for not seeing it sooner, this is just a horrible attempt at making a movie. I looked up this movie on IMDb and saw "Michael Bien" and thought it was the bad-ass guy from "The Terminator" but thats "Michael Biehn", this movie has some fat guy instead. Bad "acting" is of course the most obvious issue but is't not even the pretend actors fault, the most talented actors couldn't make this stuff believable. Plot holes and no sense. It's not even good in a bad way, Hulk Hogan movies are more entertaining. I'm a fan of independent movies but this sucks, it tries to be a formulaic Hollywood thriller and is everything a independent movie should not be. This movie owes everyone who sees it an apology.

I am in no way attempting to troll here, but in the spirit of showing an opposing view, I must say that this movie, in no way, is any of the following: Unrelenting, Uncompromising nor Unforgettable." One of the problems with a movie that takes itself oh-so-seriously is the fact that the audience can too plainly see that fact. "Snapped," from the opening scenes up to the very end, just seemed to shout "Hey, this is a SERIOUS movie. Arty stuff here, dontcha know... You'd better appreciate it." Hey, let the audience think for themselves, OK? While this movie was not bad, it was not altogether good either. Just because a film looks polished doesn't mean that it's a good movie (unfortunately, U.S. audiences are prone to falling for Style over Substance....). The best looking movie in the world will still suffer if it is peopled with actors/actresses who can't act and/or not having a story worth telling or told in a way that makes it worth watching (i.e. no pretentious dialogue.. who speaks like this???).Of course, it the filmmakers are just trying to make a buck...... well, never mind this post!Bottom Line: In my opinion (and yes, we all have one), this was not "an experience!" It was merely a movie that tried too hard to come across as "an art film." No pun intended...

Snapped is a rare film that comes about once a decade. A gripping tale of art, murder, love, and betrayal. Heavy with post-modern social commentary, Snapped is a film on a level other contemporary horror films cannot even comprehend. Although the cast is relatively unknown, the acting is top notch. Tiffany Knight delivers a heart stopping performance as the sexy, yet deadly Amy. Micheal Bien, Joe Costa and Pete Soltesz are excellent in their supporting roles and essential to creating the unpredictable, dark and moody atmosphere of Snapped. Newcomer directors Jeff Prosserman and Julian Van Mill prove themselves masters of the camera, as each shot, each angle and each scene draws the viewer deeper and deeper into Amy's insanity and the human soul. I don't want to over-hype it so I'll leave it at this; Snapped is Innovative storytelling matched with cunning direction and gut-wretching performances that will leave you weeping.This is not just a movie, not just a film, this is an experience. Snapped is a haunting piece of modern art that will have you questioning existence and the universe by the time the credits roll.
