Snuffet

About This Movie

Snuffet (2014) is this intriguing entry in the found footage horror subgenre that really stands out, albeit in a bizarre way. It presents a world where puppets aren't just playthings but actual characters caught in a dark narrative about puppet racism and societal decay. The film's atmosphere is unsettling, with a palpable tension that builds as it unfolds, taking its time to develop the twisted dynamics between human and puppet. The practical effects are surprisingly effective, lending a sense of grotesque realism to the puppet violence, which is both shocking and darkly humorous. It’s this surreal juxtaposition that gives Snuffet its distinctive edge; a horror flick that’s as much about societal commentary as it is about the visceral shock of snuff film tropes. Performance-wise, the puppetry is quite impressive, showcasing a range of emotions that you wouldn't expect from inanimate objects.
