Murder Was the Case

About This Movie

Murder Was the Case is a curious blend of crime and music wrapped in a supernatural narrative. Snoop Doggy Dogg, playing himself, gets caught in a violent scenario that leads to a pact with the devil. It has this gritty, raw atmosphere typical of 90s hip-hop culture, and the pacing keeps you engaged throughout. The practical effects, albeit not groundbreaking, serve the eerie vibe of the story well. Snoop's performance is surprisingly compelling—he captures that streetwise persona while grappling with life-and-death stakes. The whole film feels like a music video gone dark, which is distinctive for its time. It’s an interesting piece of Snoop's artistry, and definitely stands apart in the genre.
