Review of Snapped

Snapped (2005 Video)
4/10
Not too bad
26 July 2006
Most comments here are somewhat harsh. This is obviously not an award contending movie with an A-list cast. It's a very low budget thriller and for that standard it's quite good. The female cast is attractive and does a good job, especially the lead, Tiffany Amber Knight. Among the male cast Joe Costa, as the villain does a good job. Some of the other cast aren't as good. While Hollywood productions go for big visuals and little story, this movie, like most low budget films, make up for the lack of explosions and flashiness with a solid and intriguing script with several surprising twists. The story has been described in other commentaries so I won't repeat it here. There is some interesting sexual tension between the two main female characters, which unfortunately doesn't ever come to fruition. The gore effects are good, but this isn't an all out horror gore flick. The movie does look very good I must say. The coloring is perfect, not too flat, not too rich. The sound is good. So technically this crew did a fine job. The things I didn't like were perhaps the pace, at times things get slow and even though the movie is short, maybe a little bit more could action and outside filming could have helped. The main disappointment was the lack of nudity. The movie starts out great, right at the opening credits there's some nudity, but that's almost all there is. The opening credits are more flashy than the rest of the film and was clearly filmed at another time and perhaps even by someone else as there is no indication that the same cast was used.
