See the films the platforms disagree about most →A private investigator known for his meticulous work is hired by the widow of a wealthy man to authenticate a disturbing snuff film he found in her husband's safe. He is tasked with determining whether the murder in the film is real or a clever fabrication. His investigation pulls him deep into the seedy and dangerous underworld of the pornography industry, a shadowy realm where the lines between performance and reality are horrifyingly blurred, testing his own morals and putting his life at risk.
