Comparison:

  • US Version
  • International Version
Release: Jul 02, 2015 - Author: Eiskaltes Grab - Translator: Tony Montana - external link: IMDB
Compared are the shorter US Version and the uncut International Version, both available on the German DVD by Maritim Pictures / Al!ve (FSK 18).

There are 9 missing scenes with a total length of 11 minutes and 50 seconds.

One day, young ans pretty Angela gets an offer by her friend Madeline: to do a photo shoot. Angela is curious and accepts her offer. When she gets the job and topless pictures of her are being taken for a perfume ad campaign, the pictures pop up in several mags. From that point on, Angela's life takes a turn from good to bad. First, she loses her job as hairstylist. Then she has huge problems with her parents, gets kicked out of apartment and last but not least, her ex is stalking her. Angela has to decide between her old and mostly uneasy life and her new life as model in the glamorous but malicious world of fashion.

Shot in 1979 and released as "Snapshot", is a mix of drama an thriller in the setting of the 70s. Every now and then, the atmosphere is really suspenseful, a few murders take place as well. The movie focuses on its leading actress through. She gets sucked into the world of fashion which is rather promissing at first but at the end, it is a nightmare.

When the movie title "Snapshot" is being displayed, the German Version contains the additional title "The Day After Halloween" in German.

Please note: the alternate title in German is obviously not an issue for any international release but the movie has the alternate title "The Day After Halloween", so there is a chance this alternate title is also used on other releases.

Madeline's conversation with Angela in the car is longer:
Madeline: See? Easy.
Angela: You nearly cost me my job.
Madeline: So what? You want to be a hairdresser for the rest of your life? Besides, he won't sack you.
Little exterior shot of the vehicle.
Madeline: Anyway, what if he does? Stuff it.
Angela: Madeline, you've got money... everything. You could afford to call Mr. Pluckett a faggot. I can't. My mother will kill me if I lose that job.
Madeline: Sugar, Linsey pays more for one lousy photo session than you've earned in six months. Besides, you're too old to be living with your mother.

Madeline: No turning back now.
Madeline then immitates Angela's mother. A man arrives at the bar and asks the girl: "Are you ladies here alone?"
Madeline: Shove off, Jack!
The girls look at each other, the man says "I see. Pity!" and leaves. The girls laugh, then the singer on stage again. He makes the audience laugh with a couple of wordplays in his lyrics. The scene keeps getting interrupted by cuts to the audience (the singing continues off-screen though). Then the girls again.
Angela: Why do you come here?
Madeline: Oh, because it’s a good place to be seen this month.
Angela: Your husband comes here.
Madeline: Oh, sugar. My husband doesn’t come anywhere nowadays.
The girls laugh.
Angela: Then why is it…
Madeline interrupts Angela: Does a gorgeous creature like me stay married to a 50-year-old movie producer who’s too old to care what I do?
Angela: Say no more! Do you.. you know…
Madeline: …screw myself with anyone I please? Damn right.
Then the singer on stage again. He is now dressed as a pirat and sings with a corresponding accent.

Angela gets home and opens the door.
Mother: Well?
Angela: What are you doing here?
Mother: Well, perhaps you’d like to answer that.
Angela: How did you know where I live?
Mother: Does it matter?. This is where you live, isn’t it? In an attic?
Angela: Mom, what do you want?
Mother: What is this place, Angela?
Angela: It’s my home, Mom. And would you mind keeping your voice down, please? There’s a meeting going on downstairs.
Mother: What kind of meeting?
Angela: It doesn’t concern you.
Mother: I’m sorry. You’re perfectly right. You’re 19 years old, you don’t need a mother. I just brought around a few of these things, that’s all.
Angela grabs the paper bag with her stuff in it and says "Thank you".
Mother: I should have just left that at the door. I think it would have been better not seeing you.
Angela: Mom, please don’t start.
Mother: Oh, I see. But I suppose it’s been coming to this for quite a while.
Angela (screams): Mom!
She keeps talking with her regular voice: You locked me out of the house at 4 a.m. Remember?
Mother: Oh, 4 was it? That’s a fine time to come home, isn’t it? *kurze Pause* Well, what else you‘ve been up to with your new friends? I’ve been looking for you at the salon. Mr. Pluckett said you’d gone off with some… lady. You have a job, have you?
Angela: Yes.
Mother: Well? Is it so top secret you can’t tell me about it? You have to lock me here in the attic while there’s a meeting going on downstairs in the middle of the night… Oh, tell me about your new job, Angela. Is it paying well?
Angela: Well enough.
Mother: Well enough. But you can’t tell anyone?
Angela: I’m learning about advertizing from the guy who lives downstairs.
Mother: Also a young man living here as well as young ladies.
Angela: For heaven’s sakes!
Mother: No, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have asked, I’d rather not know. Oh, Angela. My little angel.
Angela: I’m not your little angel, Mom. I never have been your little angel. Becky perhaps but not Angela.
Mother: How can you say that?
Angela: For as long as I can remember, it’s been nothing but "Becky, Becky, Becky"! The only time you ever used to talk to your little angel was to tell her how awkward she was, what a disappointment she’d been. I was believing it.



Cut to the people downstairs who hear the fight as well.
Mother: What about poor Daryl?
Angela: What about poor Daryl?
Mother: Well, he comes over a lot, you know? Mopes around, tells me his troubles. I think I’m more of a mother to him than I am to you.
Angela: He frightens me.
Mother: What’s that?
Angela: I said he frightens me. He murders puppies.
Mother: Puppies? Well, I’m sorry Angela. I do regard myself as a pretty fair judge of character. I can at least understand his behavior but as for yours?
Angela: Mom, poor Daryl has been following me. He’s been getting in here because Becky… Do you know my little sister Becky?... told him I dumped him for a lesbian.
Mother: Well, I don’t see any point in this. I heard Daryl’s version of why you dumped him, I heard Becky’s… I think I know where the truth lies.
Angela laughs.
Mother: Is that funny?
Angela: Believe me, Mom. It’s hysterical.
The mom slaps her in the face.
Mother: Don’t you ever speak to me in that tone of voice again, do you hear me? Do you?
Someone knocks. Angela opens the door and apologizes instantaneously: I’m really sorry, she‘s just leaving.
The girl at the door responds: Give it 5 minutes, OK?

Angela's nightmare is cut. When she wakes up, she starts to scream. Cut to Lily and Linsey on the couch. They are watching a movie. Angela comes in.
Angela: I’m just going out. If anyone wants me, I’ll be at Madeline’s.
Lily: Oh by the way, Ange. It‘s that time of the month again, as they say?
Angela: You might have to carry me for a bit.
Lily: You got through that lot in a hurry, didn’t you?
Angela: Yeah. Listen, ehm… speaking of starving to death… when are all these drops gonna start falling off my lap? It’s been nearly a week.
Lily: Don’t worry about it. It’s all got to do with demographics.
Angela: Demographics?
Lily explains demographics with some geek-speak.
Angela: Well, as long as the campaign is a big success…
Lily: For God’s sake, Angela. Relax. Does Linsey look worried?
One can hear a car horn outside.
Angela: That’s my cab. Listen. In future, I’d really appreciate it if you didn’t just let any Tom, Dick and Harry walk into my room make themselves at home. OK?
Lily: OK!
Then she says "OK!" one more time, but less noisy this time.
