The Cinema Snob/Nightmare Fuel

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Kung Tai Ted's review of Tiger Love. The movie shows a tiger attacking a small child, but the exact moment it freezes on the boy's face is truly terrifying. In-universe, it even creeps out Kung Tai Ted enough to break character and wonder if the attack was real, as any future footage of the boy is merely stock footage from earlier.

Ted: This is Kung Tai Ted, saying....I think I watched a snuff film. Figured the Cinema Snob would be the first person that would happen to.

  • The "de-fetusing" scene in Las Vegas Bloodbath is pretty bloody disturbing. And made so much worse by the fact that the actress in question was genuinely pregnant.
    • For comparison sake, the Snob then showed the "de-fetusing" scene from his own film Cheap.
  • The part in Pieces where the stitched-up corpse rips off the hero's balls.
  • The ending/child killing scene in "Beware! Children at Play". Even the Snob was freaked out by it.
  • Everything about the Cannibal Holocaust review. And more specifically, the scene where a live turtle is cut into pieces with a machete. If Brad's horrified, disgusted reaction is acting, I'll eat Linkara's hat.
  • From his review of Necromantik, Brad finds that he can't show any of the infamous scene of the movie... but then shows us a clip of the male lead spitting out an eyeball into the corpse's socket.

Snob: You're welcome.

    • Not to mention the title card... the eyes... the EYES...
  • Brad Tries can be pretty nasty, but usually in a Crosses the Line Twice kind of way. Then we see these two little words, describing what he'll be eating at the state fair: Turkey Testicles. And yes, they're real.
  • Considering all of the above examples, Brad promises that in 2012 things will get a whole lot darker. And he says it sporting a Slasher Smile and his Face Framed in Shadow at the same time. It was confirmed at the end of the Anthropophagus review: He's been deliberately holding back material he deemed too disturbing to critique; remember that this guy sat through Necromantik and Cannibal Holocaust on purpose. He started 2012 with Cannibal Ferox, which is only a notch or two below Cannibal Holocaust on the Squick scale. It can only go downhill from there.
  • Child Bride and Hardgore. Disturbing enough, but he claims he's got movies more disturbing than ones with pedophila, necrophilia, and a movie that is as close to sexualized a snuff film as possible without actual murder. And just when you think it couldn't possibly get any darker... Guinea Pig.
