Contraversy:
The
filmmakers have been threatened by the town of Cohasset Massachusetts. The Cohasset
School system was contacted by the Cohasset police department in regards the
the Cohasset Snuff Film facebook page. They thought the film would cause a
homicide in Cohasset and wanted to shut the film down, hinting at suing the
filmmakers.
In
October before the film was in select Massachusetts theaters Cohasset parents
tried to have the trailer pulled from Youtube and protested the film at
Cohasset City hall.

Call received by the filmmakers from school official:
Synopsis
In
2009, the small town of Cohasset, Massachusetts was rocked with tragedy. A
17-year-old high school senior named Collin Mason murdered three classmates.
All the murders were videotaped and uploaded to the Internet via bit torrent
sites and for three days, the world viewed the murders of these three innocent
teens. Through legal action, the parents of the victims were able to remove all
footage from the Internet and the town tried to save face by pretending it
never happened. Bootleg copies of this footage are still passed around and
downloaded through illegal means. The impact of this video is still being felt
in Cohasset today. The video has become infamous, and is now referred to as The
Cohasset Snuff Film.

Quotes:
"The
Cohasset Snuff Film is one of the top five independent horror films we've seen
this year" - Erik Vanlier Golden State Haunts Review: http://goldenstatehauntsandevents.wordpress.com/2012/11/14/meet-serial-killer-collin-mason-in-the-cohasset-snuff-film/
"The Cohasset Snuff Film" is shocking and brutal to watch and
over all, it achieves its purpose in becoming skin crawling and in offering an
intriguing and watchable examination of the mind behind such horror. - Jesse
Miller http://Morehorror.com/
