Do you watch Snuff Films?

You're in the wrong thread if that's the extent of your awareness of the number of murders put to video. Get out now. I envy your clean mind.
I've always heard most of them are fakes but then again, snuff films may have been an urban legend before the Internet. With the Internet now, they've unfortunately become reality.

Oh and as mentioned in my edit, I saw "split face" which was one of the worst things I've seen on the Internet.

No way.

It's funny I can easily watch the most gruesome, gory, disturbing or fucked up movie ever kinda easily...if it's fictional or at least a reenactment.

On the other hand I can't stand to watch anything gruesome that it's actually real footage.

I watched Dead Alive when I was 11 years old, it was fun! I can and have easily watched movies like A Serbian Movie, Irreversible, Martyrs, Human Centipede, Ichi the Killer and others.

A couple months ago I saw a recording of a family barbecue where a cousin of mine broke his leg/foot playing soccer. His foot was in an strange unnatural position, he was crying very low in pain. It was deeply, deeply unsettling, there was a lot of people surrounding him completely in silence, no one would touch him for some minutes, I think they were afraid to hurt him, and there wasn't even a drop of blood. I got the shivers just from remembering it.

I couldn't watch those beheading recordings terrorist did some years ago, and yet I've seen much worse things on movies done in a very realistic way.

No.

The closest that I ever come to watching real actual people die is that footage of US military spraying bullet on a guy they mistook as carrying rocket launcher. Even that is too graphics for me.

No i dont even like watching people chew snuff

I hate the sounds of people chewing more than the visuals. Especially if they smack their lips together alot? Or do that thing where they take 2/3 bites before they start chewing. Like someones' gonna take their food away from them.

Am I into watching grotesque videos made to gratify morbid people who want to see other human beings getting killed? No, but thanks for asking.
 
I watch Disney movies. The letter "y" in their logo looks more like a "p" though. Disnep.
My favorite is probably The Lion King. It´s about a lion called Simba.

For people checking out the Budd shot, make sure you get the full version of the video that shows the blood pouring out of his face. A lot of the versions of it cut out quickly after the shooting, even some that show the body hitting the ground cut out before the face footage.

It's like a faucet, just pouring out...

That´s how i´ve been reading it since i was able to read too. I knew 'Disney' but the connection between that and the disnep logo took ages for some reason :p. Feels good i ain´t the only one that red it that way.

Also arn´t real snuff movies urban legend?

no...but when I was a little younger I visited some gory websites who will remain unnamed just out of morbid curiosity

Guess I never actually answered the question when I was talking about the distinction. I have seen quite a lot of death videos, so many that if I was to see a true snuff film, I'm pretty much desensitized to it all now.

Not sure that any genuine snuff films actually exist so, no, I haven't.

Person/s that release footage of themselves on the internet stabbing up their victim (and possibly wanking themselves off with their severed arm) aren't technically snuff so they don't count.
 
Kind of off topic, but I was reading the "snuff film" entry on Wikipedia and I stumbled on a link to Armin Meiwes. I never heard about it, but I guess he was a German guy who videotaped himself killing and eating a volunteer that he met on an internet forum called the Cannibal Cafe (video has not been released). The site is now defunct, but the archive is really creepy and weird. Lots of people exchanging information to eat and be eaten by others.

Duuuuude. That Wikipedia article is proper messed up. The guy attempted to eat his own wang after it had been cut off!

And yeah, that archive is retarded. People REQUESTING to be beaten, cooked and eaten. The human mind is a funny thing.

Will start substantiating his hate
A filming of a murder doesn't have to be made with profit in mind to qualify as snuff. If it's done for someone's pleasure it can be considered snuff. The Armin Meiwes footage would definitely be considered snuff had it not been destroyed. While I haven't seen it I'd argue that 1 lunatic 1 icepick qualifies as well although it supposedly doesn't contain footage of the actual murder. Havent't seen 3 guys 1 hammer either but it's arguably borderline. Supposedly the killers hoped to make money off of making snuff films but there seems to be no confirmation that it was the motive behind the the 3 guys 1 hammer video.

I saw a gif on 4chan a few days ago of an asshole making a woman with a noose around her neck balance on a tire. She quickly lost balance and got hung.

Dude deserves hell.

Just a gif but it was one of the worst things I've seen.

The one you're talking about is fake. There are TONS of sites that cater to "snuff" porn.
 
Hmm, Odd

Iv seen plenty in my time. Curiosity has been the main reason.

I dont ever turn off my xbox, sit down with a pizza and the intent to watch them but iv seen plenty.

Id argue that about 60% of what iv seen is real some of it was obvious fake (about 5%) the other 35% im undecided on and some iv seen and iv just knew that it was real.

Im using Snuff as a Blanket term to apply to all murder/suicide/death related videos.
 
Back in my first days of the internet, friends and I used to see how far we could get through rotten.com. Never got far before it became too much, this was as 10 year olds and far less desensitized than now

Edit: I did see that hostage beheading, had forgotten about it till now. Deeply disturbing
 
I developed a morbid fascination as a young teen. Started with gory horror movies, then (fake) real stuff on VHS "Faces of Death". Around that time Rotten hit the internets and sometime later the next best thing appeared: Ogrish.
After (I think from 16 years onwards) that my interest to see dead people kinda faded.

Looking back I'm not sure what the hell that was about... Watching the stuff makes me feel bad, & sometimes really sad (child war victims especially). Though sometimes curiosity still gets the best of me (some recent examples being split face diver, Kenyan 'witch' burnings and people of Christian faith being hunt, in the most literal sense, down in Indonesia).

"If you dance with the devil, the devil don't change. The devil changes you. "

It's funny how in the movie "8mm" a snuff movie is like that huge thing that you can only find in the darkest places. Nowadays you're probably just a few google searches away from a real one.

Yeah, that particular subcategory is quite prevalent. There are tons of posed photos of hangings and such on deviantART, and I have seen quite a few videos of fake hangings on Youtube. It's usually just leg shots of harnessed swinging, and most likely actually guys at that. Though there's no actual nudity or anything, I'm surprised Youtube lets them stay up.

"Art" Youtube is pretty lax with its moderation if you claim your video is art and has the age gate

'Snuff films' by definition are made for the profit of those behind them and entertainment of others. These types of films, I don't believe exist. Footage of killings/torture/accidental deaths that are caught on video are all over the internet however. These don't meet that requirement, as even footage made by killers is never meant for anyones pleasure but their own. Videos of journalists killed in Iraq for example have political aims, not profit or pleasure.

That being said, I have never had a fascination with that type of footage. I avoided Rotten and Ogrish during their heydays when I was in highschool. I just can't stomach it, and feel rather depressed seeing it in other forms (documentaries, etc). Budd Dwyer and Vic Morrow were more than enough.

I was reading an article on a site going into the nature of snuff films.. it got me thinking.

I haven't and I have no intention of watching one, but what about you GAF? Are you into this?

I know you're trolling. But this is the dumbest thread I've ever seen.

Wanna hear a good joke? Waste your time helping me! LOL!
I'll check Liveleak every now and then, but not for snuff videos. Shit like 1 lunatic 1 icepick I stay away from. I know what goes on in those videos, but I prefer not to watch them.

Yeah, sometimes I'm curious if I see a link. Wish I wasn't. And that stuff (news, LiveLeak) aren't really snuff films as much as filmed tragedies.

Basically this. In summary: I'll watch the occasional fucked up newscast on Liveleak, but I do NOT look for or watch snuff style videos.
