Snuff films are something of an urban legend in the film industry. The concept of them is widely known, though quite controversial. This article looks at what exactly snuff films are and whether or not they’re real in any way.

What Is a Snuff Film?

A snuff film is defined as a film in which a real murder takes place. In other words, at least one actor or actress is killed while the camera is rolling, and death is included in the final edit. Viewers are led to believe that no one has actually died and that any deaths in the film are simply acted out as usual.

Some snuff films can be more pornographic in nature. There will be a porn scene with actual sex taking place, and at the end of the scene, one of the actors in that scene will end up getting killed. These films attract curiosity and attention in Australia, especially online. People seem to enjoy looking up weird things like this just as much as they enjoy playing games at Queensland online casinos. Though casinos are completely legal and moral, snuff films, if they are real, are most definitely illegal and immoral.

The History of Snuff Films

The idea of snuff films didn’t become common until the 1970s. During this decade, there were rumours about a secretive industry where films involving actual, real-life deaths were being produced, mainly for profits.

The term ‘snuff film’ was used in the 1971 book ‘The Family: The Story of Charles Manson’s Dune Buggy Attack Battalion’ by Ed Sanders. The Manson family was a gang and cult that was headed by Charles Manson and was responsible for over 100 deaths in California throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s. Most of the members were young females; they lived unconventional lifestyles and were known for doing drugs. It was rumoured that Manson and some of his followers killed someone and recorded the act, then driven out into the desert and buried the recording somewhere. To this day, it hasn’t been found, and there are doubts about whether it existed.

However, the rise of online streaming platforms has made watching F1 races live from anywhere on our planet easier.
