	Snuff film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A snuff film is a film, sometimes pornographic, that depicts or allegedly depicts murder, produced for entertainment purposes.
		However, the resultant movies are not usually considered snuff films because they are not made for the express purpose of generating a profit from distribution.
		8mm (1999) is a similar movie about a private investigator hired by a widow to determine if the film her husband kept hidden in a safe is a real snuff film.

	Snuff Film; Making of an Urban Legend (Skeptical Inquirer May 1999)
		The myth of the snuff film, on the other hand, is a prime example of a cinematic urban legend.
		Yet it is not only the claims of deceived individuals that help to perpetuate the myth; every time that snuff films are even mentioned in modern fiction and cinema, they are giving credence to the rumors, playing on the reader's or viewer's assumptions that they are real to begin with.
		Even if the existence of actual snuff films should be validated at a later date, it is safe to say that there are more films about snuff films than there are actual snuff films in existence.

	The New Yorker: The Critics: The Current Cinema
		As a viewer, I am equally free to say that the movie Gibson has made from his personal obsessions is a sickening death trip, a grimly unilluminating procession of treachery, beatings, blood, and agony—and to say so without indulging in “anti-Christian sentiment” (Gibson’s term for what his critics are spreading).
		The movie has been hailed as a religious experience by various Catholic and Protestant groups, some of whom, with an ungodly eye to the commercial realities of film distribution, have prepurchased blocks of tickets or rented theatres to insure “The Passion” a healthy opening weekend’s business.
		The depictions in “The Passion,” one of the cruellest movies in the history of the cinema, are akin to the bloody Pop representation of Jesus found in, say, a roadside shrine in Mexico, where the addition of an Aztec sacrificial flourish makes the passion a little more passionate.

		Everything about this movie is truly wretched, with the exception the music which is in much the style of the Velvet Underground, Brainticket, Amon Duul II and Can playing sort of a "Born to be Wild" themed jam.
		Apparently this ending garnered the movie serious attention, although most of it started with a publicity stunt including fake police investigations, fake banning and "plants" in the audience to feign horror, fainting and sickness over the subject matter.
		The original movie, as I mentioned was filmed in 1972 and the added bit at the end was filmed in 1975 or 1976 with no attempt to get an actress who looked anything like any of the actresses in the original movie or keep in mind that styles had changed in three years time.
