Reception
Snuff. A horror film from 1975 that gained notoriety due to an outrageous PR stunt orchestrated by the film's producer and distributor, Alan Shackleton. The narrative about a murderous cult, inspired by the Manson Family, was originally named "The Slaughter." Shackleton took control of it and added a cliffhanger finale that made it seem like we were really seeing a murder unfold.
