Synopsis

The original legendary atrocity shot and banned in New York. The actors and actresses who dedicated their lives to making this film were never seen or heard from again.
SNUFF - the move they said no producer could make, no distributor would release, and no audience could stomach. This is the one and only original legendary atrocity shot by Monarch Films in South America and New York, where human life is cheap! The mystery and controversy surrounding this vicious and violent venture remains clouded to this day. Many of the actors and actresses who dedicated their lives to making this film were never seen or heard from again. SNUFF is the film that went too far - an overwhelming assault on the senses that delves into a degree of delirium deeper than any ever achieved before. SNUFF contains scenes of sadism, bondage, bloodshed and mutilation too real to be simulated, too shocking to be ignored!! Beautiful actresses, satanic slaves, bestial initiations, and gruesome gore beyond belief caused this picture to be banned. Are the killings in this film real? You be the judge!

The notorious blue sleeve "Snuff" from Astra - almost as controversial as the original film itself. Discussed and debated by afficianados of the pre cert era with no definite conclusions still forthcoming, this is one of those releases whose origins and authenticity currently remains uncertain. That Astra produced sleeves for the film is undisputed; an image exists in a contemporary video publication, and it is also known Astra presented the title as a forthcoming release at a UK tradeshow in May 1982.Whether the existing samples found in current collections are bona fide 80s originals or the product of a later opportunist collector/counterfeiter remains hotly contested and will certainly continue to be for the foreseeable future.
