The phenomenon of so-called 'snuff movies' (films that allegedly
document real acts of murder, specifically designed to 'entertain'
and sexually arouse the spectator) represents a fascinating
socio-cultural paradox. At once unproven, yet accepted by many, as
emblematic of the very worst extremes of pornography and horror,
moral detractors have argued that the mere idea of snuff
constitutes the logical (and terminal) extension of generic forms
that are dependent primarily upon the excitement, stimulation and,
ultimately, corruption of the senses. Snuff: Real Death and Screen
Media brings together scholars from film and media studies to
assess the longevity of one of screen media's most enduring
cultural myths. Thorough, provocative, and well argued, the
contributions to this volume address areas ranging from
exploitation movies, the video industry, trends in contemporary
horror cinema, pornography and Web 2.0.
