While not frequently used, snuff films have been a presence in cinema for a great while. Of course, no production can reach the heartwrenching depths of 8MM (which remains Schumacher’s best), but that does not mean no one should. Written by Mike Gerbino and directed by John Balazs, Freelance is a thriller set in Australia about snuff films. Does the country that produced the beautiful One Perfect Day strike gold again?

The story follows freelance editor Katie (Nicole Pastor), who is hard-pressed for a well-paying gig as she can not even afford a cup of coffee, much less her rent. But Guy (Stephen Degenaro), who fancies himself her boyfriend, though in reality Katie is just using him for free meals out, and fellow filmmaker Kevin (Jordan Fraser-Trumble) do what they can to ensure she has the basics taken care of.
