A snuff film or snuff movie is a motion picture genre that depicts the actual death or murder of a person or people, without the aid of special effects, for the express purpose of distribution and entertainment. Though deaths have been captured on film, snuff films as commonly defined are generally regarded as an urban legend.

Is 8 mile based on a true story?

This is a bit of a tricky question. The movie 8MM is not based on any one true story, no. It is collectively based on all the rumors and legends surrounding snuff films. Whether or not snuff films exist is a bit more complicated. To date, authorities all over the world have yet to find even one real snuff film. There are a lot of movies out there that claim to be snuff films, but when they are investigated by police, they always turn out to be fakes. Very good, very convincing fakes, but fakes, nonetheless. And of course, murderers sometimes videotape their crimes, but these videotapes are technically not snuff films, since they were created for the killer's own amusement, not for sale to the highest bidder. All the reliable evidence suggests that snuff films are just an urban legend. Still, the rumors never subside. Is it possible that snuff films have occasionally been made, but just haven't been discovered yet? Maybe. It's a very big world out there, and the police can't search all of it. But it's safe to say there is no roaring underground trade in such movies. If there was any significant, large-scale market for these movies, police would surely have found some traces of evidence by now. I have included a link to the Wikipedia page regarding snuff films.
