It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

A dark and gritty view of the world of underground distributed videos. This film has received mostly negative reviewed from critics citing is as too dark, violence and excessive but overall the film is quite intense and gripping, in a good way. 8MM is quite engaging from the beginning, although predictable the story it tells keeps guessing at every turn.

This is great filmmaking right here. I would not say this is Academy Award winning stuff, but it has a story that never lets you go, and is intriguing and somewhat thought provoking. This movie had me from start to finish, and very very seldom let me go. That is how I know a good movie from a bad one, it makes you forget about everything else and absorbs you.8 Stars!!! Though it probably is a 7 at best, I liked it though!

After I finished watching 8mm with some friends, one said it's the most disturbing movie he's ever seen. Yes it's violent, but the underlying themes are quite equally disturbing, and the depravity is on display in some of the characters.I can only imagine what the on-set atmosphere was like, but maybe there were some light moments on set. The story is gripping, and you can only imagine the turmoil private detective Tom Welles (Nicolas Cage) who later played an airline pilot in Left Behind in 2014. If the Academy voters had balls, they would have nominated 8mm for Best Picture, and given a nod to Nicolas Cage for his excellent performance in a haunting and harrowing role.
