Well, in fact it was a compilation tape compiled by Deep Red editor Chas Balun - his creation consisted of most of The Flower, The Flesh & The Blood, and this was reportedly the tape that fell into the hands of Mr Sheen.
If you ask me, he should get back to polishing furniture (Mr Sheen, not Mr Balun).
It may be surprising to learn some folk are perhaps not jaded or educated enough to know the truth of the "snuff" myth, but only a minority have done enough research on the subject to approach contentious titles such as Cannibal Holocaust with works of art in mind rather than real murder. It is perhaps a testament to the raw power of this film - look at the uproar it caused upon its release, and still does to this day.
Goes to show the power of the press, mind - and that most people have a requirement for "snuff" to exist on some level simply because of video technology and that it may be one of the most heinously humiliating acts of murder man could possibly commit.
