A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.
Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.
The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.
This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.
If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
Angela has a developing taste for the morbid and decides to prepare a thesis on the subject of Audio-Visual Violence. Her University Professor, though initially skeptical, encourages her and offers to help with access to some of the more effed up sections of the Uni’s cinema archives.
From an academic viewpoint, she attempts to befriend a weird guy at school, Chema, who’s notorious for his collection of effed up cinema apart from his choice of tshirts that include a Cannibal Holocaust ode. Chema is socially awkward but invites her over to watch some of his greatest hits, because she is “gorgeous”, as he puts it.
Things however begin to get murky when Angela’s Prof dies while watching a movie he borrowed from the School archives – Angela later finds it to be a snuff movie of a college girl who went missing couple years before. She shows it to Chema who activates his sleuth mode and tries to extract clues from the video. Meanwhile, Angela finds herself sexually enamored by a mysterious student Bosco, whom Chema hates and is jealous of.
Within no time however, Angela becomes the next target for the snuff movie makers, and she finds herself suspecting everyone around her.
no esperaba encontrar tan interesante esta película pero he de decir que me sorprendió
I FUcKING LOVE THIS FILM OHNMUY GOD
A neurotic and somewhat irritating women embarks on a thesis about violent cinema and winds up entangled in a murder mystery. With her constant paranoid delusions she suspects everyone but just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you. It’s on the too long side and it’s annoying and kind of corny after a while but it’s not too bad. I’ll go straight up the middle with this one and give it just a cunt hair over 2 and a half stars.
Vacancy was a better premise around “the snuff” theme and wasn’t anything more than a standard America made Hollywood flick
actually this is lowjey good 10/10
L ratio
extremely interesting plot, though i cant seem to ignore the plot holes in the film. for the harmony it is a 8/10
average experience with a filmbro
very nice
holy tarnation
Silly Bosco. Had he checked that the girl had a knife hidden, he would have taken it away.
Then he’d have his time with the girl. And all of us would have received the ending that we really wanted.
chema is just like me fr
Good performances, terrific dialogue, and an interesting mystery, rather like some Italian 70s horror movie, but without any horror, gore, and nudity.
The early scene on the train is a knockout – to spare the passengers any distress the guy tells passengers NOT to look at the body on the tracks, then follows this with “she’s been cut in two!”
chema is so cute. a strange little dude who loves snuff films…we all probably can see ourselves in him. plus his relationship with angela was really sweet.

Give the people what they want. What a great film! Great mix of psychological thriller and even comedic elements. Great acting and memorable leads!
very sad that chema gets no pussy 🙁
Snuff 102 and Tesis , two great spanish movies!
Great movie
Chema is the best! He should practically be on the banner for this website as the mascot, he is us lol.
long, boring, and overrated. I watched it becuase of the 4+ stars. Couldn’t get over the many plot flaws.
Suspenseful, thrilling and keeps you guessing until the end. Highly recommend!
I enjoyed this film. Granted, there were a few holes in the plot, but hey everything seemed to come together at the end. Well made. Well acted. Well written and well filmed. Still, I wish we would have gotten to see the guy bisected by the train…. Now I’d buy that for a dollar!
This is my favorite movie of all time, it’s been for 10 years now. Good to have it here.
Solid film. Very DePalmaesque.
I enjoyed this film. Thanks for adding it this site!
Does this have English subs?
Honestly a fantastic film. Very relatable and funny character in Chema, and an excellent performance from the protagonist. The plot keeps you guessing and engaged till the very end. Overall would highly recommend.
First Impression: 8.8/10
