- DirectorSrdjan SpasojevicStarsSrdjan 'Zika' TodorovicSergej TrifunovicJelena GavrilovicAn aging porn star agrees to participate in an "art film" in order to make a clean break from the business, only to discover that he has been drafted into making a pedophilia and necrophilia themed snuff film.Quite possibly the most shocking film ever made, but there's more to it.
- DirectorMariano PeraltaStarsAndrea AlfonsoJulián AlfonzoRodrigo BiancoA young reporter fascinated by the urban legend of snuff movies gets more than she bargained for when her deep research begins.Not many films could ever render me speechless. This one did.
- DirectorJohn Erick DowdleStarsStacy ChboskyBen MessmerSamantha RobsonIn an abandoned house in Poughkeepsie, New York murder investigators uncover hundreds of tapes showing decades of a serial killer's work.Another snuff-themed film, a fake documentary that leaves you empty by the time it ends.
- DirectorMichael GoiStarsAmber PerkinsRachel QuinnDean WaiteTwo teenage girls encounter an Internet child predator.This film never gets grotesque, which makes it even more disturbing. And to quote one, the film has "a shot that will haunt you forever."
- DirectorMarcelo LeguizaStarsLucas AlonsoPablo AnastasiNoelia AntúnezSecret organization abducts, tortures, and kills people to make snuff films.Has a couple of boringly unnecessary "talk" scenes to take a breath in between the action, but the protagonist and intensity make up for it.
- DirectorE. Elias MerhigeStarsBrian SalzbergDonna DempseyStephen Charles BarryPresented in a surreal, gory and entirely visual manner, Begotten tells of the death of religion, the abuse of nature by Man and a nihilistic outlook on what life ultimately is.Never lives up to its opening scene, quite boring at times. You just have to be in the right mood for its bleak cinematographic uniqueness.
- DirectorDoug GerberCaleb PennypackerStarsKevin KennySamantha BogachJamie GrecoA mentally ill homeless man begins a killing spree on the streets of New York City.Pure insanity with a lead villain you will never forget.
- DirectorTun-Fei MouStarsGang WangDai Yao WuRunshen WangJapanese troops round up Chinese and Russian prisoners of war and take them to unit 731, where they're horribly tortured and experimented on to test new biological weapons.The story of the infamous Unit 731. There's not much gore, yet it's compensated by the fact that such things actually happened.
- DirectorMichael HanekeStarsSusanne LotharUlrich MüheArno FrischTwo violent young men take a mother, father, and son hostage in their vacation cabin and force them to play sadistic "games" with one another for their own amusement.This is the most psychologically damaging and devastating film I have ever seen.
- DirectorKôji ShiraishiStarsKotoha HiroyamaHiroaki KawatsureShigeo ÔsakoA doctor kidnaps a young couple and forces them into a game of torment that slowly extinguishes their hopes for survival.Pain.
