There
is
much
to
be
said
for
this
timely
collection
of
essays
...
It
provides
a
rich
archive
of
sources
for
interested
readers;
it
is
diverse
in
range
but
coherent
in
remit,
and
it
addresses
the
topic
broadly
enough
to
appeal
to
many
different
scholars
...
[This]
is
a
serious
intervention
deliberately
situated
at
the
intersection
of
debates
about
violence
in
society
and
violence
in
representation,
which
has
long
been
a
somewhat
sensationalized
space;
it
is
an
original
and
stimulating
contribution
to
an
otherwise
undersubscribed
area
of
intellectual
interest.
This
book
will
be
valuable
to
anyone
interested
in
the
ongoing
debate
about
visuality,
violence
and
death.
These essays meticulously examine the history and mythology of the visual media's 'unholy grail'-the spectral 'real' behind film's reality effects. Tracing snuff's evolution from pornography to propaganda, from cult phenomenon to mainstream culture, this is the most comprehensive effort to date to track down the elusive phenomenon hovering at (and often defining) the boundaries between life and death, voyeurism and violence, terror and titillation, art and exploitation, realism and reality. Anyone seeking an unflinching glimpse of media in the digital age cannot ignore this collection. What was unthinkable a decade ago is now routine. Never have violence and terror been at once so visible and, as a result, so banal.
In the 1970s a toxic brew of urban decay, rising crime rates and the 'porno plague' gave rise to a new myth: that of the snuff film. Although the combination of sex and murder in the featureSnuff(1976) was quickly revealed as a hoax and the FBI could find no evidence that the real thing existed, the concept of the snuff film has endured and, ironically, taken on a life of its own. This collection of fascinating essays advances a scholarly and rigorous consideration of how the fringes of popular culture have become mainstreamed, and how media myths can become disturbing realities.
Snuff: Real Death and Screen Mediais both thorough and wide-ranging in its approaches to the complex and malleable category of the snuff film. This book is destined to become the key text on the representations and public debates which underpin the charged and vital topic of real death on screen, and the cultural, commercial, legal, and affective consequences of its associated myths.
