A beautiful young girl named Angela (Sigrid Thornton) is lured away from her job as a hairdresser and into the glamorous world of fashion photography and advertising. A model named Madeline (Thirst's Chantel Contouri doing her best Joan Collins impression) takes Angela by the hand and introduces her to a group of odd, yet endearing characters. Alas, Angela's off-kilter ex-boyfriend, Darrell, and her domineering mum are set on keeping Angela from escaping their clutches. Darrell is especially odd, w/ his pitiful demeanor, driving everywhere in his Mr. Whippy's ice cream truck! Unfortunately for Angela, he just might be dangerous as well. Then there's Madeline's dirty-old-man husband and a photographer who loves to take pictures of dead animals. All is fine until someone puts a slaughtered pig's head in Angela's bed! That's when things get really weird! Angela finds herself being stalked by a lunatic. The question is, which lunatic is it? SNAPSHOT is sort of long-winded in spots, but has a (slooowwly) building tension and a cool ending...

This edition is widescreen NOT full screen that I had thought. In comparing it to the "Night after Halloween" VHS version of this film. It does show all the top and bottom so it is not overmasked like other dvds are. However, there are parts on the vhs that show more on the "side" than the dvd! Especially durring the photo shoot.The dvd has her all the way to the left side of the screen cutting off part of her right side at times.The vhs has her centered, Much closer up and shows her entire right side. Very Strange, usually it is the vhs that has the side missing. Quality....Although the vhs is grainy at times, it has much more contrast and brightness. The dvd looks washed out and blurry in comparison. In short, not the greatest version of this movie. If you already have a vhs version, keep it and forget the dvd. mes.
