I’m not quite sure accurate the depiction of life in “The Bluff” is in “Snow on tha Bluff” - a 2011 film directed by Damon Russell - is, but gauging from the myriad reports I’ve read about the area ( with some describing the neighborhood as a literal biohazard for Atlanta), I’d say there’s probably more fact to Russell’s film than fiction.įor my money, “Snow on tha Bluff” (a film that’s currently being screened in small-chain theaters nationwide, but much more accessible as an instant view on Netflix) is the absolute greatest “found footage” flick in almost 30 years, and the movie within the subgenre that’s most effectively fused the real with the cinematic since “Cannibal Holocaust” - an Italian horror-flick so realistic that the director of the film found himself in court on murder charges until he could fly the cast in alive.
Words simply fail to describe just how horrific life in “The Bluff” is - to give you just an inkling of an idea, it’s a community where, in 2006, local police had a lethal shootout… with an 80 year old woman.Ī lot of times, it’s easy to exaggerate how horrible living conditions are in such environments. According to a 2010 report, “ The Bluff” is the single most dangerous neighborhood in Atlanta, and the fifth most dangerous in the country. The area is famous, primarily for its almost entirely-drug fueled economy - allegedly, it’s the place to go if you want heroin in the ATL. called home (and to a much, Much, MUCH lesser extent, Herman Cain, too.) For a while, it was where Martin Luther King, Jr. Long story short, it’s a place you should never, ever go to if you value your own mortality.įor those of you unfamiliar with Atlanta’s geography, “The Bluff” makes up neighborhood planning unit L, which is nestled in the northwest side of town.
There’s a place in Atlanta called “ The Bluff,” which rests inside English Avenue and Vine City.
