    13/03/2012 Snuff Boxing: Revisiting the Snuff Coda | Cinephile: The University of British Columbia’s Film Journal You are here: Home » Archives » Volume 5 No. 2: The Scene » Snuff Boxing: Revisiting the Snuff Coda SNUFF BOXING: REVISITING THE SNUFF CODA Alexandra Heller-Nicholas Snuff (Findlay/Nuchtern, 1976) might not be the ‘best’ film produced in the Americas in the 1970s, but it may be the decade’s most important ‘worst’ film. Rumoured to depict the actual murder of a female crewmember in its final moments, its notoriety consolidated the urban legend of snuff film. The snuff film legacy has manifested across a broad range of media, from fictional snuff narratives like Vacancy (Nimród Antal, 2007) and 8mm (Joel Schumacher, 1999), to purportedly real snuff footage distributed online and through mobile phones. Despite Snuff’s status as a unique trash artefact, the suddenness with which the controversy exploded into the public arena allowed it very little time for a ‘micro’ analytical moment.[1] The snuff film enigma was so intoxicatingly extra-diegetic that it instantly transcended the nuts-and-bolts details of the film itself. The shocking impact of those final five minutes appeared to render close analysis unnecessary: Snuff, like snuff, was predicated upon a hyperactive theatricality of ambiguity, rumour and moral panic. cinephile.ca/archives/volume-5-no-2-the-scene/snuff-boxing-revisiting-the-snuff-coda/ 1/9 13/03/2012 Snuff Boxing: Revisiting the Snuff Coda | Cinephile: The University of British Columbia’s Film Journal The power inherent in the word “snuff” is dependent upon its vagueness; its enigmatic force stems directly from its nebulousness as a concept.

  • Post-Human Nightmares
    Post-Human Nightmares Mark Player 13 May 2011 A man wakes up one morning to find himself slowly transforming into a living hybrid of meat and scrap metal; he dreams of being sodomised by a woman with a snakelike, strap-on phallus. Clandestine experiments of sensory depravation and mental torture unleash psychic powers in test subjects, prompting them to explode into showers of black pus or tear the flesh off each other's bodies in a sexual frenzy. Meanwhile, a hysterical cyborg sex-slave runs amok through busy streets whilst electrically charged demi-gods battle for supremacy on the rooftops above. This is cyberpunk, Japanese style : a brief filmmaking movement that erupted from the Japanese underground to garner international attention in the late 1980s. The world of live-action Japanese cyberpunk is a twisted and strange one indeed; a far cry from the established notions of computer hackers, ubiquitous technologies and domineering conglomerates as found in the pages of William Gibson's Neuromancer (1984) - a pivotal cyberpunk text during the sub-genre's formation and recognition in the early eighties. From a cinematic standpoint, it perhaps owes more to the industrial gothic of David Lynch's Eraserhead (1976) and the psycho-sexual body horror of early David Cronenberg than the rain- soaked metropolis of Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982), although Scott's neon infused tech-noir has been a major aesthetic touchstone for cyberpunk manga and anime institutions such as Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira (1982- 90) and Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell (1989- ). In the Western world, cyberpunk was born out of the new wave science fiction literature of the sixties and seventies; authors such Harlan Ellison, J.G.

  • 'Emanuelle' Films
    Issue 9 May 2017 www.intensitiescultmedia.com Mondo Realism, the Sensual Body, and Genre Hybridity in Joe D’Amato’s ‘Emanuelle’ Films Mario DeGiglio-Bellemare John Abbott College Abstract This paper examines the place of Joe D’Amato’s series of Emanuelle films within the context of Italian cine- ma, exploitation cinema, and genre studies—especially the pornography and horror genres. I will focus on what I have labelled D’Amato’s Mondo Realist films that were made in a very short period between 1975-1978. I argue that D’Amato’s films offer an expansive sense of genre hybridity, especially as his films from this brief period are rooted in the Sadean tradition, the cinema of attractions, the Mondo film, neorealism, and the horror genre. I also examine D’Amato’s films in the terms set out by Linda Williams (2004a); namely, as an auteur of ‘body genres’ whose films must be considered in terms that move us beyond dominant scopocentric tendencies in film theory. D’Amato’s films offer a way to open up these categories through the sensual and corporeal experience of his hybrid films. Introduction The opening credit sequence is constructed through is not new to the landscape of Italian cinema: it is the a series of shots that showcase the sights of New main theme of Mondo Cane (Dirs.

  • The Snuff Film the Making of an Urban Legend
    URBAN LEGENDS Introduction BY JAN HAROLD BRUNVAND PROFESSOR EMERITUS OF ENGLISH, UNIVERSITY OF UTAH Urban legends—as I wrote in American Folklore: An Encyclopedia Many urban legends, as the writers of the following two essays recog- (Garland. 1996)—are apocryphal contemporary stories, told as true but nize, are benign, silly barely credible, and easily disproved: they are told incorporating traditional motifs, and usually attributed to a friend of a more for entertainment than for any moralistic purpose, although there is friend. The term, adopted by folklorists in the 1970s, has become familiar often an implicit message or warning in them as well. But other modern to members of the public and journalists (who sometimes use the less accu- legends are potentially dangerous, leading people to make decisions unwar- rate term "urban myth") to refer to many of the odd, unverified and "true" ranted by any facts. (I think particularly of legends about crime, many of rumors and stories that circulate both orally and in the media. Despite this which take the form of "bogus warnings. ") The two essays published here public awareness and the best efforts of scholars and investigative reporters confront urban legends of this kind, showing how the baseless stories about to debunk them, such stories—both new and old—continue to be spread organ-thefts and snuff films grew, spread and to some degree affected pub- avidly especially on the Internet. Thus, my own version of the last sentence lic policy It's notable that neither of these writers is a professional folklorist; of Scott Stine's article that follows (which I use as a motto on my e-mail apparently, the lessons of folklore research in this fascinating area of mod- signature block), is "The truth never stands in the way of a good story " ern tradition are spreading, just like the legends themselves.

  • Found-Footage Horror and the Frame's Undoing
    Found-Footage Horror and the Frame’s Undoing by CECILIA SAYAD Abstract: This article fi nds in the found-footage horror cycle an alternative way of under- standing the relationship between horror fi lms and reality, which is usually discussed in terms of allegory. I propose the investigation of framing, considered both fi guratively (framing the fi lm as documentary) and stylistically (the framing in handheld cameras and in static long takes), as a device that playfully destabilizes the separation between the fi lm and the surrounding world. The article’s main case study is the Paranormal Activity franchise, but examples are drawn from a variety of fi lms. urprised by her boyfriend’s excitement about the strange phenomena registered with his HDV camera, Katie (Katie Featherston), the protagonist of Paranormal Activity (Oren Peli, 2007), asks, “Are you not scared?” “It’s a little bizarre,” he replies. “But we’re having it documented, it’s going to be fi ne, OK?” S This reassuring statement implies that the fi lm image may normalize the events that make up the fabric of Paranormal Activity. It is as if by recording the slamming doors, fl oating sheets, and passing shadows that take place while they sleep, Micah and Katie could tame the demon that follows the female lead wherever she goes. Indeed, the fi lm repeatedly shows us the two characters trying to make sense of the images they capture, watching them on a computer screen and using technology that translates the recorded sounds they cannot hear into waves they can visualize.
