What the hell is going on with some people? :confused:

Why release snuff videos? We have enough nutters running amock in the world to influence more of them by giving them kicks watching real deaths.

The producers of these videos should be prosecuted under the obscenes act. Its wrong!! :mad:
 
It is called Traces of Death. Here is the BBFC explanation (its a bit long)

Multi-Aspect, Open Captioned, Traces of Death comprises a compilation of uncontextualised clips showing real killings, suicides, medical operations, fatal accidents, autopsies and other distressing images . The work presents no journalistic, educational or other justifying context for the images shown. Rather, the work presents a barrage of sensationalist clips, for what appears to be the underlying purpose of providing prurient entertainment. That this is the essential purpose of the work is reinforced by the addition of a sparse but sensationalist voice-over, which deliberately makes light of human death, pain and suffering. Some of the most graphic clips are needlessly repeated in slow motion, further underlining the prurient and exploitative nature of the work.

The Board carefully considered the work in the light of our Guidelines and the tests set down by the Video Recordings Act. A key consideration is the question of any harm that might be caused to potential viewers or, through their behaviour, to society because of the manner in which the work deals with violence and
 
so you download instead, oh BTW if you didnt know, most of these releases are totally fake and filled with random filler material (just footage of burning houses, 'jackass' type clips, blurry images with people shouting OMG over it etc).

the main content that is real is from news footage that can/has been show on normal tv.

far worst just searching on google.
 
It's called free speech bud.

If someone is going to go out and kill, and has that in them, it aint gonna matter whether they've seen Traces/Faces of Death or anything else.

However, I would have given it a release, mainly because it's pointless childish crap you can get online anyway.
 
Do you ACTUALLY really believe the deaths in thes films are real ?

It's a well known fact that these films are NOT snuff movies. That was a shock tag slapped on them by the tabloiRAB in the 70's/80's during the 'video nasty' era.

Yes, they are gruesome and feature graphic violence but no human being is actually killed in them.

A real death wouldn't make it a film, it would make it evidence in a murder case.
 
This is a documentary that features people dying. Bowling for Columbine has death scenes in it so this is pretty similar but maybe showing more explicit material. It should not be classed as a snuff movie as the people who die are not intentionally killed for the film.

There is much more gruesome images on the internet. Rotten.com springs to mind though I myself would never visit such a nasty site. It is too disturbing watching stuff like this.
 
Can't it be both? I mean a doc/movie that features real murder footage that may have also been evidence? I worked with two guys who'd done post-production on the video "Executions", a title that depicted genuine footage of people being executed around the world. They said it put images in their brains they can't get rid of (they saw footage that didn't even make the final cut).
 
Shouldn't this make the classifcation board the most depraved & corrupt people on the planet?

How can we trust people who are depraved & corrupt to decide what we can and can't watch.

They let Gigli slip through the net after all. I was thoroughly disturbed after spending money to see that. :cry:
 
That's precisely what is was.

It was a collection of some fake, and some real deaths filled in with a large amount of cheap tasteless filler.

They are also not 'snuff' - merely collections of clips, that have been obtained from home video, cctv, news archives etc.



Not true at all.

Snuff is produced, and is available. People have also been prosecuted via it's evidence.

I feel I have a right to watch films of this nature, though I'd rather it without the dopey Narrator, or Rammstein as a backdrop.

Traces of Death is a pretty low budget affair, and amongst people who watch these kind of films, a bit of a joke.
