Angela (Sigrid Thornton) is a young hair-dresser having a hard time making ends meet. Looking for a fast way to earn some extra money, she accepts a job working as a model. Soon, however, she gets the feeling that someone is watching her; following her...stalking her. Is it her deranged ice cream truck driving ex boyfriend? A psychotic admirer? Or someone more sinister... As Angela delves further into her new and sordid lifestyle, she finds herself growing closer and closer to the deadly truth. Director Simon Wincer's slow burn psychological thriller, Snapshot, melds character drama with moments of shocking violence and nail biting suspense. Featuring atmospheric scope photography by Vincent Monton and a pounding soundtrack from Brian May. (88 Films)

The Australian thriller Snapshot approaches the Italian Giallo genre in style at times and generally intoxicates the viewer with inventive camera shots and very distinctive music, but for God's sake nobody needed such a plotless and drawn-out film. Visually it's beautiful, but be armed with an extra dose of patience before the screening.

"Snapshot" is a shot that has a quite interesting story after a brief overview, allegedly filmed in the style of giallo, but in reality it is closer to European art cinema, from which the artistic aspect eventually disappeared. There is very little horror here, which is a problem because the theme called for it. But it would probably just result in another uninteresting slasher.
