Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hmmm... so, none exist? How about the ones filmed by in the early 1980s by Charles Ng and Leonard Lake, or the one from 2001 filmed in Germany by Armin Meiwes when he killed Bernd Brandes? That's based on a couple of minutes of looking. Don't know how many I could find if I actually put some serious effort into it!

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 You are talking about murderers who happen to film their deeds. A snuff film is a murder committed for the purpose of filming it and distributing it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snuff_film We're verging on splitting hairs here. I maintain that " snuff films " , as a feared and dreaded genre and phenomenon, do not exist. Murderers who film their deeds certainly exist, but the death of Daniel Pearl is not a snuff film.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hi Blake Hmmm... reminds me of the bit from Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy... something along the lines of how do you stop a cloning machine while it is halfway through cloning without committing murder.... after several legal attempts to sort out the problem, they just decide to redefine murder!
