    There are a lot of homemade snuff films unfortunately, what is this 3 guys 1 hammer although I hesitate to ask?

    I saw a gruesome one of a prison riot in south america, I didn’t know what it was right away, as they had like gauze wrapped around this guy’s head to look like a mummy, and were boxcuttering his neck, took me like 10 seconds to realize what it was. Sick shit.

      3 guys 1 hammer is a video of some kids killing a guy, but there’s no plot so I don’t think it counts as a “snuff film,” and by “homemade snuff films” do you mean they have a plot and some production value, lighting, scripting, and someone dies, or do you mean “murder that was filmed?” Because that’s kinda my point I don’t know if it counts without a plot.

      gruesome one of a prison riot in south america,

      See from this description I don’t count that as a “snuff film,” and I’m questioning if it counts, because of course “filmed death” isn’t a myth, there’s countless examples. A quick search defines “snuff films” as:

      snuff film

      noun

      A movie in a purported genre of movies in which an actor is actually murdered or commits suicide

      A film that shows, or purports to show, the actual deliberate killing of one of the performers.

      So that seems to suggest that I’m right.

      Do not pursue this any further, I know only of the story and some screenshots I will not watch the video and it ruined me for a while.
