The strict definition of a “ Snuff
” movie is that it is a film that shows the torture and the murder of an unwilling participant, this footage being usually commissioned by a rich, decadent elite. There is often an element of truth behind rumors, but to what extent are Snuff movies real? Is there actual proof of the existence of such a market? Do serial killers film their crimes and is this footage available outside of courtrooms? What are the Dark Web’s Red Rooms, and do they really exist? All these questions and many more are covered in Real Snuff – Urban Legend or Reality?
Horror novel author Jean Rises dives into the deepest Internet rabbit holes to answer this question. Richly illustrated with never-seen-before photographs and including interviews with renowned true crime experts and cinematographers such as Dr. Mark Benecke, René Wiesner or Kiyotaka Tsurisaki, this book unveils stories where greed, sadism and voyeurism are the main ingredients of some of the worst crimes imaginable.
