It's hard to redeem a film when it starts from such a trite, patronizing, and insulting hypothesis.

Andrew Kevin Walker walked away from the film (no pun intended), and I'd love to know if his original ideas were any better. As it stands, I'd much rather watch Schader's Hardcore, which rings much more true and doesn't insult the audience (although perhaps it loses some points for the ending).

Definitely agree with you regarding 8MM's naiveity involving the porn industry and snuff films. HARDCORE really is only slightly more realistic, but at least it is a more entertaining film and like you say, doesn't treat the audience quite so much like idiots.

Oh dear God. It would be quite an achievement to actually be worse than the original. I might have to rent this just to see if it succeeds. Or I could just jam a fork in my eye, pour alcohol over it and listen to Paul Walker explain the theory of relativity. What to do...
