Book Review: Snuff Film by Tim Miller

Snuff Film by Tim Miller

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


In this corner, we have Justin, an out-of-work actor who is recognized for his role in a god-awful sing and dance cop show that bombed and wrecked his career. This show was so bad that total strangers will spit on Justin when they see him. At the moment Justin hits his lowest point ever, he gets a job offer from a producer who specializes in "underground" pornography. Justin dons a leather mask, becomes "Razer[sic]," and murders women on camera. Justin starts making and amazing amount of money, but becomes addicted to the Razer personality.

In this corner, we have Destiny, an actress who just can't get her break. She is an attractive, large-chested blonde who doesn't stand out among all of the other attractive, large-chested blondes in Hollywood. Destiny starts working in softcore doing fully clothed girl on girl girl on girl films. She then graduates to harder and more bizarre films. During the making of one of these features, Destiny mutilates of the other performs because she feared for her life. Destiny is subdued and delivered onset to Justin for him to kill on camera.

I will leave what happens next for you to read. While this may sound like it was inspired by A Serbian Film, it goes far beyond the horrors portrayed in that film. It contains scenes of extreme violence that hand around in your mind days after you have finished reading. While it may seem impossible, the story is not without its humor. The whole "Cop Rock" scenario and a particularly mind-melting group sex scene involving Destiny, a little person, a senior citizen, and a 500+ pound man both hit the funny bone while Razer hits the rib cage and all major organs.
