The Cohasset Snuff Film Trailers

In 2009, the small town of Cohasset, Massachusetts was rocked with tragedy. A 17-year-old high school senior named Collin Mason murdered three classmates. All the murders were videotaped and uploaded to the Internet via bit torrent sites and for three days, the world viewed the murders of these three innocent teens. Through legal action, the parents of the victims were able to remove all footage from the Internet and the town tried to save face by pretending it never happened. Bootleg copies of this footage are still passed around and downloaded through illegal means. The impact of this video is still being felt in Cohasset today. The video has become infamous, and is now referred to as The Cohasset Snuff Film.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A normal 17 year old growing up in the USA would be studying, playing sports or possibly designing the latest app but Collin Mason from Cohasset in Massachusetts has other ideas involving the demise of his class mates.The Cohasset snuff film reminds me of the blair witch project because of it's personal camera cinematography and the horror combination but another likeness is not knowing if it's real or acted.The movie is based around Collin with snippets of interviews from people close to events or have something to add, collin describes his hate rid for others and the end result is quite chilling.The movie is very well constructed considering the budget and if you like real horror and extreme violence this is well worth watching.

In 2009, the town of Cohasset, Massachusetts stopped being a small peaceful town in the eastern seaboard. 17-year-old Collin Mason murdered three classmates and videotaped and uploaded his accounts for the world to see. Although all the sites have with the footage have taken the videos down, copies were spread and still available through the underground.If you like found footage films this is one that will have your hairs standing on the back of your neck. The chilling tale of this disturbed individual and the interviews of the people around him will take you into a dark place. It was something so horrible I really couldn't imagine watching it, much less hearing it. The movie subject is so disturbing to hear and so realistic you forget it's a movie.Edward Payson takes some risks and it pays off in the end. If you like slashers and psychological thrillers, the cast will paint a picture that will keep you awake at night wondering and thinking of the unthinkable. Steven Wu does an excellent job playing Colin Mason and his voice lingers even after the damage is done. This is a very disturbing experience and if you are into being scared out of your wits, then watch this film.

Review by Golden State Haunts and Events"The Cohasset Snuff Film" is raw film making at its best. There are no Hollywood special effects or camera tricks typical of most horror films. Instead the movie plays it straight like a documentary. It is currently premiering at major cities across the US. Film goers will get to see the infamous film that accomplishes what it sets out to be.The controversial film takes you into the mind of 17 year old high school serial killer Collin Mason. Mason says that he know the difference between right and wrong but "doesn't care". That becomes apparent from the moment we first see him and he plans his "masterpiece", a documented series of killings that he's filming as part of the yearbook committee. Obviously his committee teammates don't know what he's up to until Collin finishes "the story".Director Edward Payson created what's sure to be an underground hit by making an intriguing film that makes one sympathize for the victims and question the motives of the killer. The interspersed interviews seen between the murders really makes viewers feel like they're somehow part of the story. "The Cohasset Snuff Film" is authentic film making that has you question some elements of society and delves into the psychology of what makes some people do the things they do.We recently saw the movie at its world premiere and didn't know exactly what to expect. As the movie progressed we realized this wasn't going to be your typical "lost tape" movie. The film doesn't take you on a roller coaster ride or keep you on the edge of your seat. Instead it has more of an "art house" feel and is a contemporary study of the human psyche. We enjoyed the film for its simplicity and reality and feel it has the potential to be a sleeper hit. "The Cohassett Snuff Film" is one of the top five independent horror films we've seen this year.

This movie really surprised me.I was expecting to watch a movie I've already seen done over and over but I WAS WRONG! There is a really artistic feel to the writing and a hidden message in all the insanity.It was refreshing that the movie isn't just focused around horror gore and an over abundance of blood, sex and nudity.It truly makes you think and feel for the characters and give you a bone chilling sense of tragedy, and a true sense of horror. I would watch it again and again.
