Snapped (2005)

Artists are often condemned as ego-driven individuals who will go to any lengths in their quest to make a ton of money through unfettered self-expression. The creative soul at the tense, bloody center of Snapped (2005) is a female free spirit who is avidly pursuing a career in fine-art photography. She lucks into a lucrative, if somewhat morbid, commission. A gallery owner offers to pay her an inspiring sum for a series of photographs of freshly dead folks. The problem, of course, is that most fledgling shutterbugs lack unfettered access to newly minted corpses. This difficulty is mysteriously and troublesomely overcome when a series of unfortunate portrait subjects drop dead one after another, murdered directly in the path of the lucky lens woman and her charmed camera. Alas, conscience rears its inconvenient head. What will come first: Fame and riches? Insanity? Turning state’s witness?
