8 mm

[size=1] Well...I just watched this movie last night on USA, and it was...ah...interesting. I thought all the whole 'pornography' thing was original, but it sort of freaked me out. As for it being a good movie, I thought it was allright but not necessarily great or anything.[/size]

this movie was great... not the pg 13 version the real thing... very dark... the orginality of it also. it really shows what real life snuff films are like

I have not seen this movie, but I am extremely interested in snuff films. They're so mysterious...are they a hoax? Do they exist? Urban myth?

Does anyone know...is this a "real" snuff film, or another fake??

Milo :whoops:

8mm isn't a real snuff film. It has Nicholas Cage in it. But the story is centered around a snuff film. Yes. Snuff films are realy, half of the one's you can find are fake. But there are videos people beign killed gruesomly. Case and Point the big new stories about the video of the Amercan civilian getting his head slowly shopped off.

8mm is alright. I had it on my Top 10 movies back when that topic was still around. I don't like it nearly as much now, but it's pretty cool. Gotta go, I might edit this later with more thoughts on the movie.

Snuff isn't really just taping people being killed... It's basically killing them with the sole intention of taping and distributing copies of those tapes for entertainment purposes alone.. Obviously tapes of people being murdered or killed exist and I'm sure some of the people here have seen some one way or another... but that's not what snuff is.

People like to spread around rumors that such things exist; vast underground networks of people who get off by seeing people murdered. Supposedly people get kidnapped simply for the purpose of being killed in these films, sexually or otherwise.

If you bother to look into the subject, you'll find that snuff films don't really exist by that definition. Any time one is thought to exist, it is proven to be fake. Even thinking very pessimisticly, I don't personally snuff itself really exists, at least not in any remotely substantial amount.

As for 8mm, I thought it was an okay film. Nothing really all that special in any way, although I think the use of Aphex Twin music fit it well.
