think it was a robert westall story but cant find any reference to it.
basically two lads bunk off school and buy a snuff movie from a dingy shop, another lad(who they don't know) tags along to watch it. turns out the tag along kids mum is the 'star' of the film...
little help??

hahaha! bloody well found it! not a westall
Just made a start on this with Philip Pullman - Video Nasty: On the old board ("during the war ...") we had this thread You Know It's The Eighties When .... - perhaps FM will revive it if you ask him nicely. Anyhow, despite being set a decade later, Video Nasty is as 'eighties as Yuppie slime barbies, shoulder pads, Scary Monsters And Super Creeps, and the cover of The Witches: 1 The Prisoner
Early teens Kevin, Martin and David are bunking off school, getting thrown out of Woolworths, stealing Mars bars and generally getting up to no good, biding their time until they can collect their under-the-counter video, Snuff Park, from their creepy newsagent. They're soon joined by a strange youth who pleads to be allowed to join them for the private screening around Martin's house. The guys don't reckon he'll be able to handle it but turns out he's seen it over a hundred times and there's a dreadful reason for his obsession... "

You know, that rings a bell with me from somewhere - but I can't recall if it's a story I read or saw on film or TV. So, where is it from exactly, Ben? I'm a little confused by your post.
