WARNING Torture scenes documented in this film are real. Caution is recommended to sensitive spectators.

One thing to redefine "perversion" is the instrumentation of the other's bodies as a "pleasure place" without subjectivity.

When the other's bodies are used as objects, there is perversion.

Under any form. Even under the form of a traditional sexual relationship.

SNUFF (definition): Illegal videotape which registers a person's real death.

- Until which point are you willing to watch?

- In other words... "What" do you want to watch?

One week earlier.

...in this particular case. From six years until now various discoveries occured.

The discovery of various women corpses showed up the agenda of this psychopath, who was active for years

...who used the city's roads as his playground what gave him the nickname of "Road Killer".

In many opportunities only parts of the bodies where found, as legs, arms, tarses.

All where women, from an age range between 20 to 35 years old. Usually prostitutes.

This is one of the facts that leads to a very strong criticism to Police's work in the case

...because apparently the investigation wasn't taken too serious due to the victim's profession

as their families claim.

This is a non precedent case in the country, and the first time a suspect of this category is captured.

He has supposedly given a confession, and even clues about bodies of the missing victims.

Here we can see some of the analysis on the unidentified remains.

Other studies in order to discover the identities, because they belong to unidentified victims.

This images are an exclusive.

- Really, think about it, would be excellent. It's warranted interest.

- I always accomplish in time, you know it...

- Who? Malena? You think Malena will do this?

- Sure, but Malena is only a feature writer.

- She can give you a simple account, unimportant...

- You know what I'm offering you, a column with opinion, it's investigation...

- I don't know, don't want to delay. I'd like to be one of the first ones to publish.

- No, it's too little time...

- But I won't finish...

- Ok then... One week.

- Why always women?

- We surely knew women always occupied the "object" category.

- In the men conception she was often defined as weaker. That was the place of women through history.

- This is a fact, it always has. They are seen as an object... and it won't change.

- There's no such thing as non-historical facts.

- There is a "partition" of the bodies. A psychiatrist named Flugel

- ...who has a theory about "changing erotic zones".

- In Victorian age, the attraction focus were the shoulders

- ...in the first decades of twentieth century were the ankles

- ...the shoulders in the thirties. Always the bodies where divided, fragmented.

- A fragmentation.

- The misogyny is a "cultural" fact... And it won't change...

- I brought you something...

- Yes? - yes...

- What?

DECLARATION.

MUTILATED CORPSES.

WOMEN.

PROSTITUTES.

THE SUSPECT CONFESS TO CONSUME PORN SITES CONTAINING TORTURE AND SADISM.

THE FOLLOWING IS THE LIST DETAILING THEM.

- This is the most important thing I have to tell you

There is a new concept called "Global video-brain".

- As Jung created the "Collective unconscious" term, the TV is our everyday Bible

"...is our 'collective unconscious'" nowadays.

- It functions by images, as our brains thinks by images

- ...and what is the engine of nowadays society?

- Consumism

...consumption, and waste disposal

- Those without money are left aside the system, with no access.... they don't exist

- ...the others have complete access. unlimited... to what they please

- ...to watch what they want, every image they want.

- If bandwidth is unlimited... Why we must limit ourselves?

- Why we wouldn't watch everything?

- We agree the engine of society is consumption, aren't we?

- Every citizen is an spectator of this "Global video-brain"

- ...It defines what we are, and even what we want to be.

- Even without our knowledge.

- Tvzapping is the projection of our desire.

- What technology lets us? "Virtuality".

- Have access to everything, watch everything... to peep all

- ...to BE everything.

- There's no limit.

- We must agree it is impossible to believe there are NO limits.

- Why? Who determines that? There are no limits.

- Who defines limits?

- Don't know. I think could be the morality.

- "Morality"? What is morality?

- Do you choose your morality?

- I think there is a place for it, If not so, everything would be unmanageable.

- Morality ends up inside the private of your house.

- Why being moral...

- ...if you can be anonymous?

- There's fine here... I'll go down here.

- How much is it? - In a moment...

♪$9.

- Here it is, keep the change. Thanks. - Thank you.

- I got really late... sorry for the delay. - It's ok...

- Thank you for receiving me....

- You welcome...

- I wanted to talk, and elucidate things.

- I've been researching and I read some of your reviews, and got very interested.

- Do you want something to drink? - Ok.

- Basically, that's why I wanted to interview you

- Your reviews were very interesting to me, I thought they were great

- I'm writing a report which is...

- a little complicated.

- And I'd like to understand a little bit more.

- Well, you write profusely about it, you're like a specialist in the subject

- Due to the nature of my reviews, kind of.

- Visual violence.

- Would you like to begin with a first question?

- What's your opinion about something called "snuff"?

- Listen

- Would you like to make some money?

Yes.

- Do you want?

- What?

- To make some money.

- Yes, what I must do?

- It's someone I know, gives good money.

- Ok. - You do what he asks you to do.

- Elves good mone.

Ok

- Tomorrow I'll give you his address.

Ok

- Well, good bye then.

♪ I'll see you tomorrow.

- "Snuff" is a myth.

- You're telling me It's impossible its existence, then?

- I didn't say that. I said it's know as an "urban legend".

- Then...?

- Reflect on that for a moment... It's quite improbable that could happen.

- I really don't know what to say...

- It is a very improbable fact.

- That a man records a videotape

- ...In which he murders a victim, a kidnapped person for this

- ...records it

- ...and later he sales the tape, for a wealthy people's ring.

- Would be ridiculous. would be almost as hand over himself to the police.

- Ok then...

- You are telling me it is impossible.

- No... it isn't impossible.

- Actually, what is impossible is the existence of a "wealthy people ring" who do this.

- A group who trades this material, people who sells it.

- People who abducts victims, a lot of loose ends

"...many investigation concerning the missing persons."

- ...the people in the group could squeal on someone.

- But yes an isolated individual could do that..

- The victim wouldn't be everyone, It would be illogical to choose anyone.

- The families, the investigations, one would end up exposed.

- Of course, there are people for which no one cares.

- Exactly.

- In a consumerist society the engine is money, those without money...

- I understand... Those without money there are no good. No one is interested in them.

- It is not a politically correct idea, but...

- What we see in everyday reality?

- Or even in advertising?

- There are bodies who have more "value" than others.

- There are people who have more "value" than others.

- I really don't see it that way.

- Of course you don't! The guilt is not what we want.

- Our most fanced hobble is unawareness.

- In order for the subsistence of some, there are others who must suffer.

- Am I wrong? Is not the right order?

- Do you know what's the price for buying a child?

- It has a price...

- The interesting part is

- ... that a tape in which that child is raped, tortured and murdered

- __costs almost the double of the price of the child.

PERHAPS THE TRUE ETICS OF CINEMA IS THE RESPECT OF THE UNSEEN PARTS OF THE IMAGE.

IN NOT WANTING TO SEEING IT ALL, AND NOT FORGING THE IMAGE OF WHAT SHOLLD NOT B=

- Cinema is opposite to "reality"

- ...but there's another registry, an analogue one

- and it isn't supported by any fiction.

- That is the registry of "pomography".

- If someone wants to watch "snuff", has an easy everyday access.

"Pom".

- But, do you think that? Such an extreme stand...

- The image of body is dismembered by the camera.

- We only see fragments of bodies, as the camera only shoots genitalia.

- The dismembered person.

- The person is unimportant, we don't know who she or he is

- Even more important: We don't care who they are.

- There are bodies to partake for, to use, and consumption.

- C'mon... You're in next scene...

- It's not bout being on behalf or against violence. It's about analysing it.

- It's impossible... We can't not to involve.

I need something, Leo...

- In this moment I don't have anything for you....

- Any Job?

- No, nothing...

- I need to pay rent, I really need to work.

- They'll boot me out. I'm broke.

- I told you, I don't have nothing.

- I won't work on the street

- I hate it.

- Before you don't hire me 'cos I was too young.

- ...now I'm over that. You won't have any problems.

- I'm 21 now, that's the limit. - Ok...

- I really need the money.

- Ok, let me see if I can get you something...

- I won't promise anything... But maybe something I can get you.

- Something like what?

- Don't know... Something. Maybe a participation...

- Anything...

- Ok, let me see what I can do... Later I'll call you.

- Do you want I call you?

- NO... I'll call you.

Ok

- TV creates gigantic monsters

- Such as the U.S. president, movie-stars or models

- ...while Internet, and the personal-media dismembers those figures.

- Making a carnage, producing new bodies assembling those.

- We remove our auto-censure

- The censorship which aids behind catholic imaginery and prohibits the animal inside us.

- After removing censorship with help of the digital freedom of technology

- we can begin our puzzle with dismembered bodies.

- It is not the dismemberment of the body itself, it's more important,

- ...we dismember the "image" of body, then we can destroy our censorship.

- Appears the "animal".

"It's not about being on behalf or against violence. It's about analysing it."

"It's impossible... We can't not to involve."

- Excuse me.

- "We agree the engine of society is consumption, aren't we?"

- "Have access to everything, watch everything... to peep all"

"...to BE everything."

"There's no limit."

- "We must agree it is impossible to belive there are NO limits."

- No. There are no limits.

- "Morality ends up inside the private of your house."

- "Why being moral..."

"…if you can be anonymous?"

- What are you doing?!

- quiet...

- Sorry, I'm late... I've got to go...

- Nothing of this should have happened...
