Snapped

Most comments here are somewhat harsh. This is obviously not an award contending movie with an A-list cast. It's a very low budget thriller and for that standard it's quite good. The female cast is attractive and does a good job, especially the lead, Tiffany Amber Knight. Among the male cast Joe Costa, as the villain does a good job. Some of the other cast aren't as good. While Hollywood productions go for big visuals and little story, this movie, like most low budget films, make up for the lack of explosions and flashiness with a solid and intriguing script with several surprising twists. The story has been described in other commentaries so I won't repeat it here. There is some interesting sexual tension between the two main female characters, which unfortunately doesn't ever come to fruition. The gore effects are good, but this isn't an all out horror gore flick. The movie does look very good I must say. The coloring is perfect, not too flat, not too rich. The sound is good. So technically this crew did a fine job. The things I didn't like were perhaps the pace, at times things get slow and even though the movie is short, maybe a little bit more could action and outside filming could have helped. The main disappointment was the lack of nudity. The movie starts out great, right at the opening credits there's some nudity, but that's almost all there is. The opening credits are more flashy than the rest of the film and was clearly filmed at another time and perhaps even by someone else as there is no indication that the same cast was used.

The acting was worse than any porn movie out there. What could the people who made this have been thinking? It was as if they were trying to make a cult film and failed dismally. Characters were one dimensional, completely unbelievable and stilted. The main character's actions were utterly unfathomable - why she would do the things she does is never explained.

Simply put - dismally acted, pathetically directed, abysmally written. If I could possibly give this a zero I would have.

Why did I watch it to the end? I simply find it hard to believe that anything could be this bad and kept hoping for some redeeming quality. It was kind of like watching a 20 car pile up - you can't look away because it's so shockingly horrifying.

Don't waste any time or money on this disaster. All who had something to do with this should be banned from ever working again.

I got this thinking it was a movie but I was wrong. Someone borrowed their moms video camera and taped their friends running around. I want to go into detail about everything thats bad about this but I would be wasting my time. I have to admit the first 30 seconds or so had me believing this was a movie, but two minutes later I wasn't sure if they were joking or not when a fat goth chick starts kicking some guy for gambling debts(they're not joking, she's supposed to be tough). I feel stupid for not seeing it sooner, this is just a horrible attempt at making a movie. I looked up this movie on IMDb and saw "Michael Bien" and thought it was the bad-ass guy from "The Terminator" but thats "Michael Biehn", this movie has some fat guy instead. Bad "acting" is of course the most obvious issue but is't not even the pretend actors fault, the most talented actors couldn't make this stuff believable. Plot holes and no sense. It's not even good in a bad way, Hulk Hogan movies are more entertaining. I'm a fan of independent movies but this sucks, it tries to be a formulaic Hollywood thriller and is everything a independent movie should not be. This movie owes everyone who sees it an apology.

Where to start? The initial premise is clever enough-a girl who is hired to make, and kill for, art-but it is all downhill from there. The acting is foul, replete with over exaggerated eye-rolls and wooden monotones (to be fair, the lead actress isn't too bad), the camera work is worthy of Dad patrolling the camcorder for a backyard BBQ and the plot is both indecipherable and utterly predictable at the same time. This would all be fine if Sanpped were punctuated by some measure of camp value which made it one of those movies that are so bad that they're fun to watch. But no luck here-the dialogue is deadly boring, not howlingly bad, the death scenes, clichéd and tame, not farcically bloody and over the top. Even by the standards of low budget horror movies, this is utter dreck.

It's inspiring in the way that when you see something like this you can't help but smile to yourself thinking, if something THIS bad gets made then I might just have a future.

I pride myself in trying to see some good in every film I watch, however this is easily one of the worst films I've ever seen. The acting is wooden and two-dimensional at best. The characters are all stereotypes. The plot feels recycled, predictable, and unmotivated. There's no point to any of this. It's shot like it's a student film with no real motivation or idea as to what they want to evoke as far as emotions go in their cinematography.

This film made no attempt to make me FEEL anything, not happy or sad, not even frightened or anxious. THAT is what the point of cinema is, to experience something. And to quote one of the characters, "This wasn't an experience."
