Is it normal to wonder if snuff films really exist?

I do not want to watch or find one but I am seriously curious if these really exist . If you research , many sources say not one has been made or found but I highly doubt it ... how to this date could one never exist? I feel like if its been thought of and talked about .. it's been done and someone somewhere is willing to buy it and pay large money for it which means someone somewhere is evil enough to provide it . They make it seem like its so incriminating but how so? there are many ways to conceal the killers identity and location of film ? maybe it is a long time myth but .. I don't know , there is a lot of insane things going on around the world we don't know about and I think just maybe one of these films really do exist .

    There's this tiny dark corner of the internet that very few people venture to. There are no cats and no memes in that corner.
    Leave it at that.

    • That place...When one goes in, mere cats and memes become their joy prior to their journeys. Such people cannot be saved. :'(

      I highly doubt the real snuff films are being sold on the net if they exist because that's a direct connection to the buyers and sellers of it not to mention setting up something for few to find would be difficult . I am talking about the real myth of a snuff film .. a film which very few copies or only one copy is made per killing for a purchase of a large sum of money

        I wasn't talking about snuff films. I was talking about the lack of cats and memes.. then I left it at that.

      What's your evidence? Not disagreeing with you necessarily but it's not enough to just say "They do" and leave it that - is it just your opinion and if so, based on what?

        this is what it comes down to , no one can find any proof or resources to confirm . I didn't realize how big of a mystery or myth these films really were until I recently watched 8mm and it re sparked my curiosity .

          I hope there aren't any but it wouldn't surprise me if there were, given the exploitative nature of the porn industry.

    what is a snuff film ?

    They certainly do. In fact you don't have to go to a fucking underground web to find them. That's....a bit of overkill melodrama there. Just go to Bestgore.com. It's not like, elitest executioner stuff but you can watch people die in all their natural glory. Remove the PG veil from your eyes and see the way the world really looks. Watch car accidents, ISIS executions, animal encounters, work accidents where most die but sometimes you get one where it's just one bloody mess of an injury. You know people out there with their phones record it all the time out of morbid curiosity why would you need to go underground to experience it?

    They do, sadly not all of them are staged.

    The use of the internet can be anonymous.

    The whole expanse of the internet can never quite be efficiently moderated.

    You simply have to do it right, and it won't come back to bite.

    They exist, for the people of this world are sick.

        There is never just one silk road. There's always another equivalent growing from it. You can't find the roots to pull out of this.

  • They're around. I've seen plenty of them. I used to know a guy when I was a kid who would sit around watching them while laughing hysterically at people begging not to die while being murdered. I don't know if the videos were more disturbing or the fact that the guy found them so amusing.
    There are well known snuff videos such as 3 guys 1 hammer, and some of the faces of death videos, although most of those are fake. There are a few websites you can even find on google with that stuff.

      I don't know if he was watching the real thing or a good fake . They are both sick to watch but for the real thing he would have had to been quite wealthy to afford a copy if one was made of the film , more if it was an original

      although those videos are disturbing , they are not considered snuff but simply murders on film .

      • What is you definition of a snuff film then? Some may have been fake, but some of the murder videos Ive seen were well known to be real. The ones that were possibly faked looked pretty real too unless you are a pro in hollywood and I saw some of them in the 90's which would be very hard then to fake videos of that type of gore.
        Are snuff videos just rape videos? If so that is harder to know what is fake.

    I think it all comes down to how you define it. There are quite a few videos of murders out there. At least a few seem to be murders committed specifically for the purpose of filming it. (I'm thinking the "icepick" and "hammer" videos here.) But the profit motive, or at least realized profit, is missing in both cases.

    One could argue that they were simply commercially unsuccessful snuff films.

      with some research after posting it seems one man did set out to make snuff films but was soon caught before release .. I believe a man in London or somewhere in the uk .. he invited the girl for a fake hanging video but in reality .. kicked her chair out and another group of men who attempted but the victim got away however when police arrived , they did find a body bound and tortured to death . The man from London though .. they never did find the tape he made . Yet again another case unconfirmed ... they have yet to confirm an actual snuff film in all of history one that's been made and sold on the black market and feel with effects and acting these days they wont ever ... I feel like that's wrong .. I bet there are people paying just to fly places and make them

        I forgot to mention there was also a porn director whom attempted to set one up but was soon snitched on to police by an informant in the porn industry . The man had a meeting with who he thought was an accomplice to kidnap two prostitutes to torture , rape and kill on film for a snuff video , the real deal , to sell ... obviously they arrested him once he started actually making the plans and setting things in motion confirming his conspiracy to actually follow through ... so people have tried but just there is no public confirmation of one already made which boggles me even though I am glad it hasn't and wouldn't want one to be but with allllll the things that occur in life and has been caught ... you would think somewhere this would come up at least once

    Soo, none of you guys have ever seen an ISIS execution video? Or the documentary called executions? Or the videos that have come out of Syria?

    All those things have people dying in them. There were an ISIS one that was extremely brutal, were they were going around just shooting up people in cars.

      Yes I have saw a couple of those terrible films but I am referring specifically to snuff films which would be the sale of a film which has little to no copies of it made and then sold illegally on the black market for money ( typically a large sum of course ) . Those films are made for a different purpose with a different motive as are many murders on film . I am curious about snuff films which many claim to be a myth but some claim they exist somewhere with no real evidence of them though or sources to confirm any ever existed .

      I agree though , those ISIS films are brutal

    apparently there are a lot of false snuff films online , lots of good acting and special effects . I don't know if what you saw was real I would imagine it would be pretty expensive to obtain such content . I am talking about the real deal .. a personal film 8mm or maybe different that is sold on the black market for large sums of money with little to no copies of someone being raped and murdered or just murdered on film and then sold for a large sum . this is a true snuff film which no one can find out if they truly do or ever existed or not

    Because my dad showed me one, he had to go through several illegal websites and downloaded software to do so but other than that I have no clue how to view one

    At the very depths of the deep web people buy drugs, hitmen and child pornography, all through the use of intricate proxies and bitcoin which is untraceable, it really wouldn't surprise me if that sort of stuff is out there

    I've heard horror stories of certain clips and infamous videos, but who knows what is rumour or fact on the internet when it comes to stuff like that, I don't even want to think about it :(

      they must be able to catch the person when the drugs arrive at the address from whatever shipping service

      I thought they brought down those servers and places like the silk road ? I also heard but who knows the truth to it that the founder of the bitcoin system or what not is bankrupt and it will no longer exist . I heard it in the car driving , the radio was talking about it . I know those proxies like stuff from the onion and such are hard to install and setup if your not computer savvy . I heard the silk road was making an attempt at coming back to have online drugs etc. but I don't think it ever made it ... I agree with what you are saying ... maybe they do exist somewhere , I wonder if someone will ever prove or disprove this myth ... maybe VICE should do a documentary on it and find out!

        No matter how many black markets they close there will always be more, this picture pretty much sums it up, closing a black market is just a grain of sand in a desert

          Please don't conflate the the deep web with the dark web. This mistake is as common as it is silly.

          The deep web just refers to anything that isn't indexed by search engines. That could be as simple as a forum that requires logging in, something hidden behind a CAPTCHA or even just excluded in robots.txt. This is generally thought to be huge.

          The dark web (a less formal term) refers to hidden websites accessed through Tor, or some similar program, concealing their location. This is tiny compared to the normal web.

          I don't understand why people keep confusing the two. At one time the deep web contained all of dark web, but this isn't even true anymore as services like tor2web make parts of the dark web searchable.
