8mm

Under discussion:

8MM  (1999)

8mm (1999) is a disgusting decent into the evil world of hard-core pornography and “snuff films.” It makes you wonder about the people who would revel working month after month on a film that makes you feel soiled just watching it. I watched it because I heard it was a classic neo-noir, and there is some justification for that description. But the film also makes you wonder if all the sordidness is developing some worthwhile theme. The theme is developed carefully and stated boldly: Some people are unbelievably evil because they like it. Whether that message is worthwhile learning by wading through two hours of degradation is very much a personal thing. I found it the theme simplistic and the film not worth recommending.
