"Underrated for sure surprised this one is not more well known "

"This has got to be the grimiest film Joel Schumacher has directed; which can be mostly attributed to Andrew "Se7en" Walker's dark & gritty screenplay and cinematography by the great Robert Elswit. 8MM got mixed reviews when it was released, but i think it's aged quite well. It can be a little sentimental and sometimes silly, but it's a really solid and sleazy neo-noir thriller. Another stacked cast: Nic Cage, Joaquin Phoenix, James Gandolfini, Peter Stormare, & Anthony Heald. Some fine early era Cage Rage, too. The last scene with Gandolfini is so g0ddamn chilling. The man was a treasure."

"Saw this for the first time and was not disappointed. Gritty , dark, well acted and excellent storytelling. Awesome ! "

"This is very dark movie that allows both Nicholas Cage"

"Brilliant, unnerving, and uncompromising in its execution, its atmosphere, and the horrific subject matter of the plot, this is what I think of when Nicholas Cage’s most memorable movies comes to mind. His chemistry with Peter Stormage, the conclusion to the authenticity of the snuff film, and Peter Stormage COMMANDING total attention every time he’s onscreen as a deliciously hateable monster, it’s certainly not a movie for everyone but it’s intense and keeps you invested rewatch after rewatch. "

"Anyone else just love Joaquin Phoenix in this? I forgot he was in it!"

"Intense and dark"

"Goes to dark places that aren’t everyone’s cups of tea but you’re on board with Cage’s Welles for the descent once you’ve witnessed and understood the extent of what Dino Velvet and company have done."

"Nice thriller "
