A new low-budget British indie horror film, “Snapshot,” is gaining attention for its innovative approach to the found-footage subgenre. The film attempts to revitalize the often-used technique by layering another technical gimmick on top of it.
According to a review in *Variety*, “Snapshot” emulates the look of 19th-century pinhole photography. The review notes that while found footage may be a “stale gimmick” in horror, this film “finds a way to freshen up the idea.”
The film refashions the Jack the Ripper story as a found-footage horror experience. The reviewer highlights that the results of layering the pinhole photography aesthetic are “striking,” despite being a technical addition to an already established horror trope. The review does not elaborate on plot details or the specific ways in which the Jack the Ripper story is reimagined, focusing instead on the film’s technical approach and its attempt to innovate within the genre.
