A Beginner’s Guide To Snuff

This is a little different. This is a terrible, half-baked movie for sure. More black comedy than horror, and completely amateurish at that. A pair of bumbling filmmakers decide to kidnap an unwitting actress because they want to make a fake snuff film but aren’t convinced she can pull it off as an actress unless she really thinks she’s being abducted and threatened. Needless to say, things don’t go as expected.

There reason this isn’t 100% complete garbage, though, is that the actress is so full of charisma and so much fun to watch that she basically carries the movie. The filmmakers are bumbling enough to be amiable, too, but Bree Williamson as the actress really chews the scenery as entertainingly as possible all the way through it.

For that, I’m going to stick this under films that have a certain “je nais se quois”… it’s easily the worst movie I ever said that about, but, because of the actress’s incredibly likeably performance, it qualifies.
