Snuff 102 is a 2007 horror film from Argentina.After seeing a broadcast about the capture of lunatic dubbed the Road Killer, a young female journalist is inspired to write about violence itself. For her research, the journalist accesses various shock and extreme porn sites (being greatly disturbed by their content) and arranges a meeting with a renowned author and film critic. Intercut with the journalist and the critic discussing topics such as morality and the value of human life are scenes of the journalist and two other women (a pregnant prostitute, and a porn star) being filmed as they are tortured and mutilated in an abandoned building by a man in a ski mask.The sadistic abductor has labeled his captives Victim 100, Victim 101, and Victim 102. The journalist is Victim 102, and as her time of reckoning approaches, we are concurrently shown how she got herself into this dire situation. Can she escape, or will she be made into another trophy in this twisted filmmaker's personal collection?Snuff 102 premiered at the Mar del Plata Film Festival amidst much controversy, with one outraged viewer even going as far as assaulting its creator, Mariano Peralta. It has been called an "artsy" (and some might say pretentious) version of the August Underground trilogy.After its initial screenings, DVDs of the film were made available for purchase on the official website, which no longer appears active, making Snuff 102 a bit of a rarity. But then Massacre Video came to the rescue in 2013, re-releasing the film on both DVD and VHS, with lots of new special features.

Our Nudity Is Different

comment
Our Nudity Is Different: "There is a 'partition' of the bodies. A psychiatrist named Fiugel has a theory about changing erotic zones. In the Victorian age, the focus of attraction was the shoulders, in the first decades of the 20th century it was the ankles, then the shoulders in the thirties. Always the bodies were divided, fragmented. A fragmentation."
