"Snuff" essentially follows a bizarre cult of biker women who follow a male leader (fittingly named "Satan") around the South American countryside, killing whoever they feel like killing, and torturing the disobedient members. One of their targets includes a Hollywood actress in the area filming a movie.One of many films whose notoriety preceded its actual merit, "Snuff" was ingeniously marketed in the 1970s, which led to its legendary status. The issue? It's just plain bad. The central narrative concerning the cult and the biker girls is clearly cribbed from the real-life Manson family killings (namely the horrendous murder of Sharon Tate), and the film feels like just as much of a bad trip. The dubbing in the film is horrendous, but the performances here really don't help matters. A great deal of the film is laughable due to gaudy performances and dated special effects. The worst part of it all is that the film's most notable scene was not originally part of the film or the narrative at all— the evisceration of a woman on a bed while a film crew stands around recording— and its displacement in the film is felt. That said, it's inarguably the most technically impressive portion of the entire film, and the best acted by a mile. The only problem here is that it's not properly linked together with the narrative and thus comes across as what it is: an afterthought. A clever afterthought, sure, and probably the only reason this film was ever released to the world; but it quite obviously doesn't belong, and by the end of the whole thing, you're kind of just left scratching your head.Overall, "Snuff" is one of the weaker exploitation films of its time, mainly due to disjointedness— it aimlessly plods along its biker cult narrative before derailing into a gruesome murder scene that has absolutely nothing to do with what has narratively preceded it. I can deal with the bad dialogue, and the bad dubbing, and the opulent '60s hippie aesthetics, but the lack of coherence makes it tough to even watch this as mindless entertainment. There are a few well done scenes and some gruesome gore (albeit clearly faked), but aside from that, there's not a lot going on here. 3/10.

Crappy movie that leads to the infamous "snuff" scene. However, after the poor actress looses her one of her left fingers, the final scene of her innards being removed clearly shows all fingers on the same hand intact. Come on. Even if the gore appears fake, at least get the details right. It is actually kind of fun watching movies like this and noting the inaccurate video illustrating the true fakeness of it all.Besides that, the movie itself is quite funny without trying to be. Not to mention it is not in English, so the voice-over only ads to the enjoyment of it all. If you can watch it for free or downoad it, go for it. However, save your money for something more believable. The "Guinea Pig" series would be a better place to start than this.

Naturally, with a title like this is certainly will attract people who love movies like "Saw" and 'Hostel" who have never seen it, even if this movie is more than 30 years old. Not only did it not stand the test of time, it is godawfull to begin with. The story centers around some kind of Charles Manson cult, who kill people. It even has a charismatic leader, or at least that is what we are supposed to believe. The actor in question is pretty bad, but that goes for the entire cast. This movie is really cheap and amateuristic on every level. The so-called effects are cheap with blood that looks more orange than red. It really is hard to watch this 'movie' till the end but you have to in order to find out why it is called 'snuff': in the last 5 minutes you're supposed to think that the crew of the movie really kills a girl and cuts her open. Supposed to, because even Stevie Wonder can see that it is fake and badly done. That last segment has nothing to do with the other 60 minutes. And that is the only positive thing, the running time is short. Maybe it was shocking to some (a couple of) people in it's time, but please, do not bother. You have been warned...

Snuff is in no way a good movie, I should start with that. I hadn't even heard of this movie until recently and figured that it should be in my library. It is worth a viewing, I will give it that. And it is not the movie that makes it worth your time, it is the end.The plot begins with several women on motorcycles who go off and kill this girl for "Holding out on them". Then we meet Sattan (I think that is his name) who is a Charlie Manson wannabe. He apparently has control over these woman and can make them do whatever he wants. Next, we are introduced to an actress coming into South America with her director to start filming a new movie. She meets up with an old flame and then the director is murdered by the crazy women. The storyline goes back and forth from the wannabe Manson family to the actress all leading up to a bunch of random hilarious murders.This movie was a struggle to sit through due to its extremely slow first half. Things do finally pick up when a new girl joins up with the wannabe Manson family and starts telling her tale. After that, we just see a lot of silliness and a great scene at a general store in which the women murder everyone there. Look for the girl in the scene whose mother has just been murdered because her acting is priceless. Finally, the end of the movie is really what makes it all worth while. The director in the end tries to simulate an actual murder. The results are silly for todays standards but was still pretty nifty looking with a pair of clippers chopping off fingers and ripping out guts. I liked it, even if it was fake. So if you read this review ignore the low rating the movie gets on IMDb, which is like a 2/10. I would give this movie a 7/10 for enjoyment and the end sequence.
