" You're scared." "Of course I am, this isn't a game." "It's real killing." "Piss off, then." "I'll do this on my own." "I meant it's over for you aswell." "I don't want any trouble." " I won't get you into trouble." " So what will you do?" "Go after everyone with that type of camera?" "And if you find him?" "Or he finds you?" " That's my problem." " Damn right it is." "I was never here, I don't know you and I've never seen that tape." "What is cinema?" "Cinema is an industry, it's money." "It's millions invested in films and retrieved at the box office."

" No... well, yes, it's a project." " You're in luck then." " Why?" "I knew her." "A friend of my girl." "I know what happened." "That's alright, thanks." "I've got all I need." "There are things you don't know." " Bosco, where were you?" "Yolanda, this is..." "Angela." "She's doing a project on Vanessa." "Can I have a word?" "Hi, roadrunner." "Is it really a project or are you kidding me?" "No, it's true." "And the camera?" " Camera?" " For the project?" " Oh, of course." " Well, the truth is..." " You're confused." "What?" "No, the thing is..." "we still haven't got it." "We must get authorization." " Will this do?" "I've had enough!" "It's bullshit." " You've got to help me!" " To interview him?" "He twisted my arm." " Twisted your arm?" "What does one ask a killer?" "Was Vanessa a normal girl?" " I'm glad you asked." "She was wonderful, full of life, untill I killed her, of course." "Did she mix with wierd types?" " No, she was a saint." "Did Vanessa seem odd prior to her disappearance?" "What do I know?" "Do you think she was killed?" " You can't ask that!" " It's fundamental." " You'll fuck up if you ask that." "If I don't, he'll think I'm avoiding the issue." "Who cares what he might think." "That's not your thesis." "What's the matter?" " I'm leaving." " Why?" " Because." "Great." " Alright, I'm sorry." " Where are my keys?" " So what's his name?" " I can't find my keys." " And these?" " These are my sister's." " I've never lost my keys." " Welcome to the club." "This is Bosco and this is Chema." "Hi." "How's it going?" " Is that the camera?" " Chema's the cameraman." " You know how it works?" " I think so." "When you're ready." "Bosco was in class with Vanessa." "Tell us what happened." "Vanessa didn't come to class for several days." "When we phoned her, they said she's disappeared." "The police looked for her for months but we never heard from her again." " You think she was kidnapped?" " Some say so, but it's absurd." "She sent one letter in which she wrote that she was in love with some guy and ran off with him." "There was no ransom demand." "Didn't you think it strange that you knew nothing about her private life?" "I don't spy on people." "Do you?" "Any idea who she'd run away with?" "No, but knowing Vanessa, it had to be someone very special." " In what way?" " In every way." "Vanessa, two years have gone by, and I'm sure you've made a new life for yourself." "But wherever you are, your friends won't forget you." "Please Vanessa, come back." "I love you." " He was crying." " Bullshit!" " What if he's honest?" "Don't fall for it." "You look at his angelic face and believe every word he says." "Do you fancy him?" " Don't be silly." " Don't you be silly." " But that letter..." " It just says she fell in love." " Who with?" " Who do you think?" "How can you be so sure?" "Besides, Bosco has a girlfriend." "Get this into your head." "Apart from being a stuck-up little turd, he is a psychopath." "That's all he is." "Can't you see how he looks at you?" "He's dying to blow your brains out while he buggers you." "He's mad!" " Sounds like you know him." " Fine, go for him." "He'll come round with a camera and a knife." " So what now?" " Nothing." " Why?" "We know who he is, now let's go home." " We must tell the police." " No way!" "Not me, anyway." "We've no proof." "We don't even know where the old man got the tape." " From the library." " That's impossible." "Anyone home?" "A friend of yours is here." "He's gorgeous." "Is Angela home?" " She is, come on in." " Thanks." "A bit nervous, aren't you?" " You know where I live?" " I do my own investigations." " What do you want?" " I brought you the interview." "Thank you, there was no need." "That's not why I came." " Why then?" "I want to shoot you." " What?" "There are no shots of you interviewing me." "We need them for the editing." "Sure, I forgot." "Right, when you're ready." " Here?" "It's in close-up." "You can't tell where we are." "You'll see." "Where's your room?" "I don't like being taped." "I don't believe that." "A pretty girl like you?" "Don't worry, it won't take long." " Had this camera long?" " Four months, more or less." "It's no longer on the market." "God, you do know everything." "I got it second-hand." "Why do you ask?" "No special reason." "You like asking questions, don't you?" "Can I ask you one?" "Go ahead." "What colour are my eyes?" "I don't know." "I haven't really looked." "I see." "You're a liar as well." "How much longer?" " Are you in a hurry?" " It's almost lunch." "Will you stay for lunch, Bosco?" "Love to." "Great." "I'll nip out to the market." "What are you doing?" "The light's bad for this camera." "Sit on the bed." "Why?" "I can't get a good focus from here." "Sit on the bed." "That's okay." "You may begin." "We're talking to Bosco, a classmate of Vanessa, who was close to her prior to..." "Aren't you checking?" " It's one straight shot." "Look at me when you ask the questions." "Did she mix with wierd types?" "Do you think she was kidnapped?" "Any idea who she ran away with?" "I'm done." "Hang on." "You need some nods as reaction to my answers." "For intercuts." " Wait..." " What?" "We were closer yesterday." " I don't think so." "Does it bother you?" "Say when it starts bothering you." "Don't!" "Every word brings me an inch closer." " It's not funny." " Don't speak." "Nervous?" " Of course not." " Not a word!" "The mouth can kill." " I don't want to die." " "I-don't-want-to-die."" "Five inches." "What colour are my eyes?" "Are you going to kill me?" "Six more inches for saying that." "Just one more word and we touch." "I thought you wanted this." "Next time I'll punch your face." " There won't be a next time." "Angela, don't let Bosco set the table." " Who switched channels?" " I did, the news is boring." "How would you know?" "Where's the remote?" "You work as well as study?" " I do some filming." "What kind?" "Whatever I get:" "weddings, baptisms..." " Does it pay?" " Enough." " Angela never does such things." " She works hard on her thesis." "You're doing your thesis?" " I've just started." " On what?" " I'm not sure yet." "Audiovisual violence and the family." "You're into violence?" " Not really." "She loves it." "She spends hours analysing violent films." "Shut up, Sena." "Is this project part of your thesis?" " No, why?" "The last film she brought home was really something." " What is this project about?" " Let's eat." "We talked enough." "What do you study?" " I started law this year." " I wanted to study law." " Really?" "So why didn't you?" "Don't know, I'm not cut out for it." "I think one has to be very tenacious and intelligent." " I'm neither and I'm studying it." " Your meat is getting cold." "You look it." " What?" " Intelligent." "How's Yolanda?" " Who's Yolanda?" " His girlfriend." "We broke up." " Really?" "More or less..." "the meat is excellent." "He's been to your house?" "Bloody hell!" "Why did you let him in?" " I didn't, he charmed my family." "It's you he charmed." "With me, not even coffee, but him you invite home." "Don't be silly!" "He says he bought it 4 months ago, second-hand." "That snotty sod using second-hand?" "He bought it new, with warranty." " We can check that." " You either believe him or me." " You're being silly!" "Hi." "I've lost the receipt and the shop doesn't have it either." "They said you'd have it." " What was it?" " A XT-500 camera." " You must have bought it..." " Two years ago." " The warranty's expired." " I know, but I need a receipt." "Alright." "1993..." "You live in Madrid?" " Yes." "Your name?" "It's my brother's." "Bosco Herranz." "He must come himself." "They said it's not necessary on the phone." "Who told you?" " Some girl, I think." " One moment, please." "Customer unknown" "School of Mass Communication" "I knew it!" "Freddy Kruger himself." "Haven't seen you in a while." " I've been busy." " Jerking off?" " Less than you." "Can I look at the closed-circuit tapes?" "You wanna get me sacked?" " 12th this month, the library." "Slow down." "What do I get?" " My body." " No, thanks." "High class porn." " Hello." " How did you get in?" " What do you want?" " Don't you know?" "To kill you." "The phone." "Someone called Castro." "Angela, I hope I didn't wake you up." " Not at all." " I'd like to discuss your thesis." " I'm listening." " At 11 in my office?" " Fine." " Great." "See you then." "Is Angela there?" "No, she's out." "Hi, Angela." "Come in." " How are you?" " Fine." "Have a seat." " Cigarette?" " I don't smoke." "Right, let's see..." "It's somewhere here." "I'm hopeless." "Here it is." "Let's see..." "Why are you interested in violence?" "There's so much of it in films and TV, that we're getting used to it." " So?" " I'm concerned." " Why?" " Because I don't like violence." " You reject it?" " Of course." "Always?" "Yet violence is something that is innate in us all." "We can't censor every film." "No, but the director must be aware of its impact." "The director's only duty is to give public what it wants." "That's the basic principle of all entertainment." "Do you reject show business?" " No, but..." "It's a very complex issue." "For example..." "On what type of violence will you focus?" " What do you mean?" " Any particular genre?" "I get the impression, correct me if I'm wrong, that your approach is rather..." " Superficial?" " Yes." "You should dig deeper." "This is meant to be a research project." "These are just notes, it's not final." " So you're investigating?" " Investigating what?" " I don't know, you tell me." " Tell you what?" " What you're investigating." " I didn't say I was, you did." "Alright." "Since you seem reluctant to collaborate..." "I don't get it." "I'll tell you." "Try a different angle." "What killed Figueroa?" "Why ask me?" "He was your supervisor." "You must know what killed him." "I heard it was an asthma attack." " He was quite old." "Maybe he was killed by something he saw in the screening room?" "Any idea?" "Don't you have a theory?" " No, I don't." "Look, Angela, I think you're a very smart girl." "I'm sure you'll go far." "That's why I don't understand you." " I don't understand you." "Really?" "You don't understand me?" "I think you do." "Think whatever you like." "I think I've heard enough." "Know what?" "So have I." "I hate such situations." "It's humiliating to be caught in a lie." "Don't you agree?" "It makes you wonder:" "why do people lie?" "Why are you lying?" "What's on that tape?" "You've lost your voice." "Very well." "I want that tape in my office tomorrow." "Agreed?" "Now tell me..." "Why did you take it?" " Is Angela there?" " No, who is it?" " Where is she?" " She went to see a professor." "Who?" "Angela, I can't supervise a student who steals, lies, and worst of all, who doesn't trust me." "I'm asking you for the last time:" "Why did you take it?" " I don't know." "Where did you get it?" " I don't know." " Was it yours?" " No." " You wanted it back?" " No." " So why take it?" " I don't know." "I'm getting tired of this." "No professor will supervise you if you're not straight with them." "It has nothing to do with my thesis." "It's far more serious." "I'm all ears." "No one else knows this." "What?" "It's for you." " For me?" "You can take it in there." "Angela, it's Chema." "What are you doing there?" "Get out, now!" "That guy's in it." " How do you know?" "Did he mention the tape?" " He knows I took it." "He sure does, that jerk knows everyting." "He wants it back." "Find some excuse and get out!" " I have to go." " Do you?" " Yes." "I'll see you." " Shouldn't we finish..." " My career is at stake!" " Your life is at stake." "I've been calling you all day yesterday." "He'll be after me now." " He's one of them." " I thought it was just Bosco." " You were wrong." " How many are there?" " No idea, but Castro is one of them." " How do you know?" " He knew you had a tape." "That's because he saw me on the closed-circuit camera." "Yes, and another camera taped him." "That's Figueroa." " Wait..." " Where was he?" " Around the corner." "Old man found out everything, including the tape." "What's in that corner?" "An underground storage where they hide stuff." " What stuff?" " I've taken some." "Vanessa wasn't the only victim." "It's not an isolated incident." "It's a business." "Torture, murders..." "It's all down there." "The cameras must be there too." " What cameras?" "Faculty bought 13 cameras XT-500 two years ago, for practice." "Do you know what it means?" "To begin with, Bosco's not involved." " Why do you always defend him?" "There are 13 cameras." "Any student could have filmed it." " No student made this film!" " How do you know?" "Because I..." "I did projects with those cameras." "What?" " Before they were scrapped." " Why didn't you tell me?" "I'm telling you now." "It has nothing to do with this." "Those cameras are just gathering dust somewhere." "They're gone." "Nobody knows where they are." " Great!" " They must be down there." " There are only tapes." " We must find them." " I was there, there's nothing." " Tonight, Chema." " Shit, no!" " Listen to me, just once." "You're doing it for him." "You're in love with him, idiot." " Tonight, idiot!" " What do you want?" " To talk to you." "What about?" "Vanessa was killed." "We all had nothing but lectures, so Vanessa and I joined a directors' workshop, Bosco too." "We did some practice with cameras." " What type of cameras?" " I don't remember." "One guy took the whole thing very seriously." "He was always telling us what to do." "Bosco and him became friends." "They started working together." "They asked one girl to act for them." "She had to take her clothes off and... well, I left them to it." " Why?" " It was awful." "And the professor said nothing?" " Who was the professor?" " Jorge Castro." "Do you know him?" "It got worse." "Towards the end of the workshop," "Bosco's friend told us about Snuff." "Do you know what it is?" "They choose some person, kidnap, torture, kill them and record it all on tape." "No editing, effects or make-up." "All in one sequence shot." "That guy was obsessed with Snuff." "Vanessa and I got scared because..." "He said it was very easy to make such films." "I told Bosco we should pull out." "And?" "They stopped seeing each other." "I don't know why." "The workshop closed." "And a week later Vanessa disappeared." "They said she ran away from home, but she would've told me." "I'm sure that guy killed her." "He used her in a snuff film." " And the letter?" "It was sent after she disappeared." "She was probably forced to write it." "Who was the guy?" "Your friend with glasses." "I've seen you together." "There are more." "Do you watch TV?" "More cases like Vanessa." "Five girls in two years." ""The police suspects a video Snuff network."" "No other clear motive." "No bodies." " Have you told Bosco?" " We hardly talk nowadays." "Besides, he won't believe me." " Chema wouldn't do it." " How do you know?" " I know him." " So do I. And I know it's him." "You don't believe me?" " You said it." "And this?" "Is that also a lie?" "The best woman in the world found her other half." "She wore the trousers, he gave the blows." "You had many lovers, none of them are alive today." "They died, crushed under, while they were making love." " We can go." " Did you know Bosco before?" "Did you know him?" " Yes." " Great!" "Thanks for telling me." " You told him about Snuff." " That has nothing to do with it." "Why look for Vanessa's friends?" "You knew who they are." "I hardly knew Vanessa or her friends." "I only knew Bosco." "Why did you fall out?" " I didn't trust him." " Oh, really?" "He looks sweet but he's a bastard." "So are you, you lied to me." "You said you weren't involved." "So you wouldn't associate me with Bosco!" "I didn't want to scare you." "I didn't want you to think that I..." "And you care what I think?" "You're right, think what you like." " Suppose I think that..." " What?" "Nothing, forget it." "What about the cameras?" " I know the security guy." "Now what?" "It's somewhere here." "This way." "Tunnels lead to the old boilers." "No one's been down here in years." "This way." "See?" "Only tapes." "Figueroa took the first one he saw." "How many are there?" "About 200." "Must be good business." " What are you doing?" " Looking for the cameras." " Shit!" " What is it?" " The masters." "Worth a fortune." " You mean, the originals?" " No, but they must be here." " Chema, don't waste time." "The unedited originals:" "that's our evidence." "They must have destroyed them." "What was that?" " It's closed from outside." " I don't believe it!" " It may be worse." " Worse?" " We're locked in!" " Chema, where are you?" " Beside you, you're choking me!" " What's going on?" " God knows." "Do you smoke?" " No..." " Shit, we need a lighter!" " I have matches." " Do you really?" " I think so." "You're panting like a dog." "Give me the matches." "It's half empty." "We have to move or they'll find us." "There... over there, look!" "Someone is watching us." " It's our shadows." " No!" "You disappoint me." " I'm scared." "So am I, but that won't get us out." " What's happened?" " The match's gone out." "Chema, hold me." " What?" " Someone touched me!" " You told me to hold you!" "Why are you so quiet?" "Why don't you talk?" " What can I say?" " I don't know." "Tell me who you are, what do you do?" "I'm Chema, I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm Chema." "Hi, I'm Chema." "You're squeezing me too tight." " I'm sorry." "I'll tell you a story." "A children story." "Once upon a time, there was a princess who lived in a palace." " And?" " This way." "When she was thirteen, they gave a great ball for her." "With clowns, jugglers, acrobats..." "But the princess was bored." "Then an ugly dwarf appeared." "He danced and did pirouettes." ""Please keep dancing" said the princess." "But the dwarf was too tired, so the sad princess left the ball." "The dwarf was sure she would go and live with him in the wood." ""She's not happy here" he thought." ""I'll look after her, I'll make her laugh."" "So the dwarf searched the palace for the princess' room." "But in one of the rooms he saw something terrible." "A monster with eyes which were bloody and crossed." "With hairy hands and huge feet." "And then he realised he was seeing himself in the mirror." "At that moment, the princess walked in." ""You're back, how nice!" "Will you dance for me again?"" "But the dwarf was lying lifeless on the floor." "The court doctor checked his pulse." ""He won't dance for you again, Princess."" ""Why?" she asked." ""Because his heart is broken."" "And the Princess said:" ""From now on, no one with a heart may enter this palace."" "Here the story ends and the match bends." "There's no way to tell which way to go." " There must be another exit." " Where?" "I can't see a bloody thing." "Chema, bring the match here." " What is it?" " What are you doing?" " Burn it." "Go on!" "Shit!" "This is the editing room." "Look!" "I told you!" "These must be the scrapped ones." "Maybe, but Bosco's camera might be one of these." " I'm cold." " Do you want my coat?" " No, thanks." " Okay." "How many matches left?" "Shit!" "What now?" " I don't know." " Take something else off." " Why don't you?" " Okay, it was a daft idea." "Are they going to kill us?" "Oh, yes." "What are we gonna do?" " Shit, it's going out." "Never mind." "I can't see your face." "I can't tell if it's you or someone else." "Five..." "Four, three, two..." " It's not funny." " One..." "Goodbye, Princess." " I'm freezing." " You can hug me if you like." " Yes I do." " Go on then." "Chema?" "Don't look at the track!" "What colour are my eyes?" "You've fallen in love with him, idiot!" "Why did Figueroa die?" ""Because his heart is broken"" "The police knows everything." " You've lied to me before." "You killed Vanessa and the others." "I've never killed anyone." "I only edit the films." "Have you seen them?" " They're filth." "You give the public what they want." "It's just the beginning." "Who killed them then?" "I'll tell you if you tell me who phoned you this morning." "You know what's going to happen now." "That person won't be coming." "I don't know where he is." "You're lucky, because I won't make you suffer." "It'll be painless." "Now, please..." "For your own good, don't move your head." "His name is Jorge Castro." "He's pointing a gun at me." "Very well..." "Don't move." "My name is Angela." "I'm going to be killed." "Exactly." "He's dead." "You wanted to see a dead man, right?" "I've found a way out." "I didn't pull a trigger, he did." "I didn't kill him." "What are we gonna do now?" " What do we do?" " For a start, shut your mouth!" "We mustn't see each other for a while." "I'll take the masters with me." "Let the bastard come after them." "And if it's not him?" "The Third Man." " Citizen Kane?" " No, The Third Man." "Told you!" " What's wrong?" " Nothing." "I'm going to bed." "I thought you were out with Sena and your friend." "Which friend?" "Bosco, he phoned a while ago and they went out." "Did they say where?" " What are you doing here?" " Where is he?" " In the toilet." "Wanna drink?" " No, let's get out!" "He left his girl, he fancies me!" " Let's go home!" " Why?" "Sena, please, just go!" " Why?" "Bosco is with me now." "He's not interested in you." "And I'm supposed to believe you?" "I'm going to the toilet." "It's that way." "What's going on?" " Don't hurt me!" " Why would I do that?" "What do you want from me?" " Leave my sister alone." " It's you I want." " What for?" "I told you not to come here." "Let's go to the police." " Sure, right away." " I mean it." " Leave me alone!" " Hey, move aside!" " You little shit!" " I don't wanna go to jail." " You won't, it was self-defence." " Who'll believe me?" " It's on tape!" "We now know about the cameras." " So what?" "The cops don't like me." "Nobody does." "Last night..." "Chema, I can't take any more." " You don't say!" "Let's go to the police or I'll go mad." "Where are you going?" "To take a shower." "We must look presentable." "I won't abandon you." " Nor me you." " Chema, where are the masters?" " Can't hear you!" "This is police." "Why did you bolt the door?" " I was afraid." " Why?" " Someone's been calling all day." " Who?" "Don't know, they thought I was you." "What did they say?" "That I'm a whore and they're gonna kill me." "It's him." "Angela, it was a girl." "Bosco, I know you're there." "You can't fool me anymore." "Stop lying." "You were seen last night at the disco." "How could you?" "The bitch doesn't love you, she lies." "They all lie!" "Nobody loves you as I do." "Bosco, you can't leave me like this." "I won't let you." "I'm capable of anything, you hear me?" "You hear me?" " Don't let anyone in." " Where are you going?" "I won't be long." "What are you doing here?" " Can I come in?" "I called your home, they gave me this address." "I come here on weekends." "Come in." " Are you alone?" " My parents only come in summer." " Sorry to bother you." " Don't worry." "I was trying to study." "I'm glad you came." "Yolanda knows about last night." " I know." "I want you to talk to her." " What for?" "We've broken up." "She's been calling my home." " Ignore her." "She threatened to kill me." " You're not the first." "What do you mean?" "She can't stand me talking to other girls." "She's just too much." "She threatened to kill all of them." "Vanessa too?" "What?" "She knew about you and Vanessa?" " What are you on about?" "There was nothing between me and Vanessa." "You're always up to something." "Yolanda's right." "You are something else." "I'm beginning to think so too." "Poor Angela." "Always tense." " As I should be." " Why?" "What is it?" "I don't want to go on." "Are you toying with me?" "I'd better leave." "You were different last night." " I was drunk." " Liar." "Will you ever tell me?" " What?" " That you fancy me." "I fancy you." "Let's do it then." "It's the lights." "Must be a blown fuse." "I'll take a look." "Bosco?" " I came to save you." " Stay away!" "Give me the knife." "Angela!" "Wanted to kill me, did you?" "Son of a bitch, you tried to kill me!" "You little shit!" "You always were!" " Call an ambulance." " Let's tie him up first." "Why, Chema?" "Why?" "The garage..." "The garage..." "Move away." "I want to kill you." "Say hello." "Say: "hello"" "She went mad this afternoon." "I had to kill her." "She never understood." "In fact, I thought you were more clever." "But you've gone too far." "Right, let me tell you what we're going to do." "Hello, testing..." "Look at the camera, please." "First I'm going to beat you up for a while." "When you faint, I'll wait for you to come round." "Then I'll cut your arms and legs." "Then I'll mutilate you." "I'm not sure how." "I'll improvise as we go along." "If I chop off your hand, I may put it on your head." "Like a coronet." "Such things are in demand." "Or I'll make you eat your ear." "Finally, I'll take out your guts before you die." "Terrifying, isn't it?" "Angela, look at me." "Terrifying, right?" "When you're almost dead, I'll shoot you in the mouth." "Then I'll chop you up and get rid of you." "You did a really bad job on Castro." "Right, then." "We're ready." "Don't move!" "Don't move!" " Don't come closer..." " I won't hurt you." "Tell me one thing." "What colour are my eyes?" "JUSTICE AND LAW" "Good evening." "When love, torture, death and money merge, we come across events such as the much publicised recent case." "I'm talking about the case known as the "Snuff Girls"." "Bosco was a nice, studious young man." "A very normal kid, according to his friends and family." "Buried in this ordinary garden are bodies of six girls who've been missing since 1993, including his own girlfriend." "This week, the police has found a number of snuff movies and documents which incriminate Jorge Castro, professor of cinema, who was killed accidentally on the 3rd this month, as he was about to start a Snuff production." "The police gives no further information about this case." "This is the first occurence of Snuff movies in Spain..." "I couldn't come sooner, I was hounded by police." "So was I. I saw you on TV." "By the way..." "I'm switching it off!" "Hey, this is the best part!" "They obey me." " How are you?" " I'm getting out tomorrow." "I've brought you something." "The Princess and the Dwarf" " I have this edition." " This one is dedicated." "I don't have my glasses." "The day I discovered the tunnels, I also found the cameras." "And I took one." " Why?" "You know me, I'm a bastard." "Punch me if you want." "I don't want to." "Why don't you look at me?" "I don't want to." " I'll be off." " Why?" " Because." " Go then." "Good luck with the thesis." " I've abandoned it." "Can we watch TV now?" "Hey grandpa, can you read the dedication for me?" ""First Edition, February 1992"" " No, just the dedication." ""Popular poetry and prose collection"" ""How about coffee?"" ""No part of this work may be reproduced in any form..."" "...reality and fiction combine to produce a horror story beyond the capability of any rational mind." "We can only wonder:" "how can anyone do that?" "Is there really a public that demands this genre of cinema?" "Well, the long awaited moment has arrived." "As we announced, our team has acquired one of those macabre tapes." "What you're about to see is the actual scene of Vanessa being savagely tortured and subjected to all types of atrocities, before being killed." "Reluctant as we are to show this footage, we believe they are of interest to us all." "The savage violence speaks for itself." "Here it is:" "WARNING:" "Images you are about to see are extremely violent." "Some spectators may find them offensive."
