A different way of telling a story

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Snapped starts as would be photographer Amy McCanic (Tiffany Amber Knight) is commissioned by a shadowy figure known as Astrum (Joe Costa) to create an exhibition for an art show, Amy is told in no uncertain terms that if she succeeds she will be set for life but if she fails & turns in a crap exhibit her career as a photographer will be over, simple as that. Amy takes inspiration from the current exhibits which depict death, suicide & murder. Amy's day then takes a turn for the worse, she discovers that her no good drug using boyfriend Trevor (co-associate producer Michael Bien) is in another world, they are about to be evicted from their apartment, she gets ripped off by the apartment manager, when Trevor rejoins the land of the living he steals all of Amy's money to buy more drugs & Amy has just had it really. Starting with the fat ugly apartment manager who ripped her off Amy goes on a killing spree as she discovers that the best way to photograph death is to first create it herself! Those around Amy begin to drop like flies as anyone, anywhere at anytime becomes a potential victim but Astrum doesn't care as long as the exhibit is ready but who is Astrum working for & what is they're reasons behind what is happening...This Canandian American co-production was directed by Jeff Prosserman & Julian Van Mil who were also both producers on the thing, personally I found very little to enjoy in Snapped. The script by Steve Abbott has a few problems, first it's incredibly slow & boring which kills it dead in the water. The character's are some of the most unlikable I've ever had the misfortune to watch, most (not all) films need a likable central character that you can relate to, root for & get behind but such a character is sorely lacking in Snapped. I found Amy one of the most annoying & downright unpleasant leading character's in any film I've seen recently, I hated everything about her which made it impossible for me to care about anything happening to her, Trevor was a lowlife thieving junkie, the apartment manager was a fat ugly lowlife thieving pervert & Astrum didn't seem bothered by the fact Amy was murdering people, when you think about it wouldn't those photo's incriminate Amy? Surely even she wasn't that stupid as to hand them over so they could be put on display to the ENTIRE WORLD when they clearly showed murdered people, people who I would imagine would eventually be reported missing or they're remains found somewhere. Listen Amy it's no good having lots of money if your stuck behind bars for the rest of your life, is it? The whole story is a nonsense, it takes itself 100% seriously (big mistake) & there are just so many annoying things about it that I pretty much hated every minute of it. By the way did I mention that the so-called 'twist' ending was crap & again made little sense? I didn't, oh well it is & it doesn't.Directors Prosserman & Van Mil don't do anything other low budget filmmakers haven't, I don't think Snapped looks particularly stylish or original & it looks more like a bland TV film. Forget about any atmosphere or scares as there aren't any. There are a few instances of gore, some guts, some spraying blood, a slit throat, hammer hits to the head & a couple of stabbings although it's far from the goriest film ever.Going straight-to-video technically Snapped is alright considering the budget must have been small to say the least, it's competent I'll give it that. The acting was poor, Amy really annoyed & I just didn't like her one bit & frankly I didn't feel any differently about anyone else either which made it an absolute chore to sit through.Snapped is crap, it has an intriguing central premise although when you think about it logically it makes no sense & falls flat on it's face. It's slow, the character's are awful, the kills are lame & nothing really worked for me, the most entertaining thing about Snapped is that on the IMDb main page for it in the 'Plot Summary' section they list Amy Mechanic (maybe she's Bob the Builder's sister...) instead of Amy McCanic! For masochists & insomniacs only, one to avoid.

This film has a nice look to it, especially for an indie and seemingly low budget film. The sound is good as well. I was quite impressed by both. Too often, indies/low budgets (not that they're necessarily the same) have problems technically that obscure the gems of the film. In Snapped's case, much the opposite is true.While the acting isn't overall terrible (notably the two female leads...who seemed capable of acting on some level), no one is more than competent. The dialogue was terrible, unrealistic. Several times, I wondered why the director hadn't ordered more takes. Some things just came off as too amateurish.Finally, a problem that plagues many low budget films was present. Without getting into the specifics, there are at least two physical altercations that are basically implausible to the point of stupidity. There are other scenes where the shift in tone between interacting characters is so sudden and unmotivated as to be wholly unbelievable.Not the worst film out there by any stretch of the imagination and I'd love to see what the technical people from this film could do with a real script and actors, but hardly worth a look.

It's inspiring in the way that when you see something like this you can't help but smile to yourself thinking, if something THIS bad gets made then I might just have a future. I pride myself in trying to see some good in every film I watch, however this is easily one of the worst films I've ever seen. The acting is wooden and two-dimensional at best. The characters are all stereotypes. The plot feels recycled, predictable, and unmotivated. There's no point to any of this. It's shot like it's a student film with no real motivation or idea as to what they want to evoke as far as emotions go in their cinematography.This film made no attempt to make me FEEL anything, not happy or sad, not even frightened or anxious. THAT is what the point of cinema is, to experience something. And to quote one of the characters, "This wasn't an experience."

I got this thinking it was a movie but I was wrong. Someone borrowed their moms video camera and taped their friends running around. I want to go into detail about everything thats bad about this but I would be wasting my time. I have to admit the first 30 seconds or so had me believing this was a movie, but two minutes later I wasn't sure if they were joking or not when a fat goth chick starts kicking some guy for gambling debts(they're not joking, she's supposed to be tough). I feel stupid for not seeing it sooner, this is just a horrible attempt at making a movie. I looked up this movie on IMDb and saw "Michael Bien" and thought it was the bad-ass guy from "The Terminator" but thats "Michael Biehn", this movie has some fat guy instead. Bad "acting" is of course the most obvious issue but is't not even the pretend actors fault, the most talented actors couldn't make this stuff believable. Plot holes and no sense. It's not even good in a bad way, Hulk Hogan movies are more entertaining. I'm a fan of independent movies but this sucks, it tries to be a formulaic Hollywood thriller and is everything a independent movie should not be. This movie owes everyone who sees it an apology.
