wp 38 -- Scujgog Citizen -- Tudsday, June 8, 1993 4 Death Scenes 2 not even for 'Jason' by John Foote Every gow and then, I hear about a form of film entitled snuff movies. Highly-illegal, snuff movies depict actual killings filmed for "the enjoyment" of a pathetically: twisted individual. Recently it was brought to my attention 2 form of snuff movie was available on the video shelf. While not a true snuff movie per se, this disturbing trash showed actual killings, on the spot _ suicides, and police work best left for police. The makers managed to disguise the film as a dora diam, outfitting it in a jacket that made it appear to be just another junk horror film. Death Scenes 2 is indeed horrifying, but for all the wrong reasons. What type of person would want to watch this? Beyond that, we should question that the obviously "warped distributors who made the film, are making a buck off death. Suppose you had a loved one who was murdered, would you want to know it was on film for North America to rent? 1 applaud the Video Super Store for pulling this trash off their shelf. Believe me, they are-victims as well, they had fon the film was of this nature, and were upset it was in circulation. While 1 champion realism in film, # am acutely aware that "it's just a movie." Robert De Niro will not really die, nor will any of the individuals © who pretend, thus creating art. Snuff films represent everything disgusting and vile in movies, they are an 4 How was this film brought to may attention? A concerned parent, upset that his kids were disturbed by it called me. They had rented the film for a sleep- over, thinking it to hg along the lines of a "Jason," or "Freddie" film. Imagine their horror when they began to understand what this was. I doubt some of them slept. . 'Keep an eye on what your kids watch; films like Death Scenes 2 are for the perverse, the sick and twisted. opt 4 1] {1 3 S | Equestria Centres LET'S 60.OUT AND HAVE A ROMANTIC DINNER , THEN WE'LL COME HOME AND I'LL GIVE YOO R .
