Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film's co-director, Michael Findlay, was later killed in a horrible accident on top of the Pan Am Building when a helicopter landed badly, tipped over on its side, and killed him and others when they were hit by the spinning helicopter propeller blades.
- GoofsWhen one of Satan's female followers is murdered at the general store, the man who shoots her fires three shots into her with a six-shot revolver, but the man had previously fired four shots into the air; thus, the woman would have been only shot twice.

- Alternate versionsA numbered limited edition Region 0 DVD version of this film released by Blue Underground was once available, but is now out of print. Playing with the "Life is CHEAP" tagline of the film, the DVD case was made to look like a brown paper bag. There were also no menus, no chapter stops and no special features on it. This version was uncut.

Featured review
Notorious cult item that has to do with a Manson-like cult leader and his bevy of lovely women who do his bidding. They kill a bunch of people before finally targeting a pregnant actress and her rich boyfriend.
Aside from that main storyline, there's also a tacked on ending that was falsely advertised to have been real snuff footage. The gore doesn't even look realistic though, especially the snipping off of a finger. No question about it, this is a bad movie. It's also pretty aimless, and there's a ridiculously overlong parade scene that made me want to hit the fast-forward, though I resisted. There is admittedly some fun to be had, as much of the film is really cheesy with some elements that you can't help but laugh at, not the least of which is the dubbing. Other than the cheese, the only other thing I liked about this movie was the presence of cult actress/director Roberta Findlay as one of the cult followers. I've always had the hots for her, so seeing her here or in any other film is always a pleasure.
My praise for "Snuff" stops there, however. Most will flat-out hate it, and frankly, I can't blame them.
