No, but the person who made it would, like any other production company, try to sell as many copies as possible. Eventually it would leak. And if that movie didn't, and the makers made a fortune, they'd make another and it would leak.
The only way a 'movie' could remain secret was if there was only one copy, which the owner kept completely to himself. But then, by definition, it wouldn't be snuff, it'd just be the ultimate 'happy slapping' movie.
If snuff is defined as being 'for remuneration' purposes, then I think if it exists, it has to leak out. Also, does there have to be a narrative for it to be snuff? Minor point but interesting.
