The Worst Film Ever
From my favorite movies..
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
A surveillance specialist Tom Welles down an increasingly dark and frightening path. With the help of streetwise Max, Welles relentlessly follows a bizarre trail of evidence to determine the fate of a complete stranger. As his work turns into obsession, he drifts farther away from his wife, family and simple life as a small-town private eye. 8MM is a bit way too disturbing at times than it should be but also a bit way too much on the sex and kinky side of things rather than building a well structured thriller with well written characters and a storyline too. (5/10)
I give this movie 10/10 because I think this movie has a real story to it, it feels all too real and it makes you sick while watching it. I can't say I would recommend this movie to anyone to see, but it is a movie people should see not because it's such a great movie, well it is, but because it's about real people and a story that could happen. I do how ever hope that people never do anything like this because I want to believe in peoples goodness. The acting is great if not even awesome, the story is "too real" and I can see the Joel Schumacher in this film as well as others, he is one of my favorite filmmakers through the time because of movies like this one. Even if I do not want to recommend this movie it is one of the best movies I ever saw.

8MM stands out as a fine thriller. The plot was enough to keep me entertained and I think anyone who likes a bit of suspense and investigation will like it, though it didn't focus a lot on the investigation aspect as it could have; I mean, the investigation is pretty shallow and clues appears without much thought onto it.With that being said, I have to mention the subject of the film: the underworld of pornography and sadism. Most characters in this movie are as disgusting and despicable as it gets. Also, some scenes might be disturbing, even though violence shown isn't over the board. Well, with a movie about a private investigator trying to sort out if a snuff film (a movie showing the killing of someone) is true or not, you get the idea of the content shown in it.I think the overall movie was really good. It had enough to keep me entertained to see what would be the outcome -- and I thought it was good. A nice flick to watch at night when you pass by it while changing channels.
