Hey! Why not? Let's not judge. One man's deviance is another man's joy. Okay, so making a snuff film may not be something you can bring up at parties...bur seriously, is it any more deviant and harmful as vaping, or book clubs, or even using betting apps on your smart phone? Besides, American young men may need a healthy outlet for the feminization they have to endure at colleges and universities. Today we look at 2016's witty extreme horror film, "A Beginner's Guide to Snuff," directed by Mitchell Altieri.
Dresden (Joey Kern) and his younger brother Dominic (Luke Edwards) are trying to make it in Hollywood as film makers. Imagine this, it's not going well. Dresden comes up with an idea. A snuff film! Okay, in Dresden's defense, not that making a snuff film needs to be defended, his plans are to kidnap a babe and go through the motions. He believes if the babe thinks she is actually going to be tortured, raped, and murdered, her performance will be better. At least, that what he tells Dominic. Hesitantly, Dominic agrees. The boys do a casting call and select Jennifer (Bree Williamson). She's a babe and we like her. The boys viciously kidnap her and bring her to a warehouse, display torture tools (including a chainsaw) to her, and begin filming. Dresden wears a BDSM mask and Dominic appropriately wears an Obama mask.
Oh, Jennifer? Eek. Yeah. See, what the boys don't know is that she is a serial killer who cuts off the tally-whackers of her victims. The boys play with the torture tools and she laughs at them. Still tied up, the babe threatens to murder them. She mocks them. Dresden and Dominic are alarmed this is not going the way they had planned. Locked in a warehouse, the duo figure they can keep trying scare tactics. Nope! Jennifer gets loose, grabs some weapons, and goes on her own little hunt for two more tally-whackers.
What happens in the warehouse is gory and humorous. We cheer for Jennifer because she is so pretty. Okay, she is a serial killer that likes to castrate, but don't we all have deviances we try to keep secret from others? So let us not be quick to judge. One woman is a reader of romances. Another woman is may have an attraction to a fellow cheerleader. Another may be a serial killer eager to cut off tally-whackers. Let us try to be inclusive here!"
