One of my all time favorites.

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

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 am in no way attempting to troll here, but in the spirit of showing an opposing view, I must say that this movie, in no way, is any of the following: Unrelenting, Uncompromising nor Unforgettable." One of the problems with a movie that takes itself oh-so-seriously is the fact that the audience can too plainly see that fact. "Snapped," from the opening scenes up to the very end, just seemed to shout "Hey, this is a SERIOUS movie. Arty stuff here, dontcha know... You'd better appreciate it." Hey, let the audience think for themselves, OK? While this movie was not bad, it was not altogether good either. Just because a film looks polished doesn't mean that it's a good movie (unfortunately, U.S. audiences are prone to falling for Style over Substance....). The best looking movie in the world will still suffer if it is peopled with actors/actresses who can't act and/or not having a story worth telling or told in a way that makes it worth watching (i.e. no pretentious dialogue.. who speaks like this???).Of course, it the filmmakers are just trying to make a buck...... well, never mind this post!Bottom Line: In my opinion (and yes, we all have one), this was not "an experience!" It was merely a movie that tried too hard to come across as "an art film." No pun intended...

Snapped is a rare film that comes about once a decade. A gripping tale of art, murder, love, and betrayal. Heavy with post-modern social commentary, Snapped is a film on a level other contemporary horror films cannot even comprehend. Although the cast is relatively unknown, the acting is top notch. Tiffany Knight delivers a heart stopping performance as the sexy, yet deadly Amy. Micheal Bien, Joe Costa and Pete Soltesz are excellent in their supporting roles and essential to creating the unpredictable, dark and moody atmosphere of Snapped. Newcomer directors Jeff Prosserman and Julian Van Mill prove themselves masters of the camera, as each shot, each angle and each scene draws the viewer deeper and deeper into Amy's insanity and the human soul. I don't want to over-hype it so I'll leave it at this; Snapped is Innovative storytelling matched with cunning direction and gut-wretching performances that will leave you weeping.This is not just a movie, not just a film, this is an experience. Snapped is a haunting piece of modern art that will have you questioning existence and the universe by the time the credits roll.
