About this product

Product Information

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.

Reviews
"It 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." - Alex Adams, Independent Early Career Researcher, 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.
