8MM (1999) - Official Trailer

"For those who like their thrillers dark and their heroes a bit more complicated and flawed ... 8MM fills the bill." – Craig Marine, San Francisco Examiner

Academy Award® winner Nicolas Cage (1995, Best Actor, Leaving Las Vegas) stars with Joaquin Phoenix (Walk The Line), James Gandolfini (The Sopranos) and Catherine Keener (Get Out) in an electrifying thriller from the writer of Se7en. Directed by Joel Schumacher, this dramatic story follows one man's obsessive search to the truth about a six-year-old crime – and his ultimate discovery of the truth about himself.

Extremely underrated & disturbing film, definitely one of Cage’s best. Anyone that wants to call him a bad actor should watch it & many of his older past efforts, he gives a fantastic performance in this.

By FAR one of Nicolas Cage's best works not to mention one of the greatest thriller's ever made.

The constant disturbing and unsettling vibe this movie emits, is the reason why I love it so much. Its scary because the plot could be the reality of some ppl.

[ihadtochooseaname]

One of the few thrillers that gave me a bad night sleep, because this stuff really happens 🎞

Joaquin Phoenix is outstanding in this film. He disappears into his characters, every time.

21 yrs later after cosby, weinstien, this movie is even more disturbing in showing the nasty side of Hollywood

[Diwana]

This movie fits on Nicholas Cage so well. No one else could do it with this intensity.

Saw this in theaters in 1999. I was 15. Nice one Matt. Incredible movie. Made a huge impact.

[mrtpmk]

Watched it in a theatre in 1999, still remember goosebumps after the

[yahikokurotama]

Probably the best movie i saw of Cage, i watched this maybe around 13 and i loved how real it felt.

(SPOILERS) "Because he could. He did it because he could." That still gives me chills. The suggestion that sexual deviance was not his motive makes the spectre of Mr. Christian so much more horrifying. He simply ordered the torture and murder of a child for his own amusement - and, perhaps, as a show of power. One wonders why else the 81-year-old industrialist would have kept the film in his private safe, where its eventual discovery would have been inevitable.
I think what Mr. Christian "got off" on, more than anything else, was knowing he had the means to do something this horrifically evil and face no repercussions.

One of Cage's best movies. Also good directing work of Schumacher.

[numetalguitarist]

RIP joel schumacher. Gonna rewatch 8mm

[adikatseegii]

Most haunting and creepy movie ever. I love this movie so much. I watch it every March.

[leakeber]

Great movie, what a cast, Cage, Gandolfini, Reedus. His wife, actress Keener. Not to mention the one and only Joaquin Phoenix. And Amy Horton as a girl's mother. Film is so emotional, I cry each time after watching...

[sherrydalton]

With the prevalence of human trafficking and all of the evil in today’s high society, this movie is more relevant than ever.

This was the late director Joel Schumacher’s follow up to “Batman and Robin” (1997). Nicolas Cage was considered to play the Scarecrow, who was going to be the main villain in “Batman Triumphant” (or “Batman Unchained”), the cancelled sequel to “Batman and Robin”, which was originally intended to be released in the same year that this film “8MM” was released in 1999. Twenty years later, supporting actor Joaquin Phoenix would star as the lead in “Joker”.

Super glad I never saw the trailer and was dragged to the cinema by mates. Unknowingly I assumed it was a film about guns. Wow, what an impressive shock, pulled into an underworld of dark. Then the way the cinema hits you with silence, and booming soundtrack at the end.... it was the best suspense I’ve experienced in a film.

[DannyCosmos]

To me the movie is about forgotten victims… they call her “some girl”. But to her mom that wasn’t some girl . She was a human a person her daughter . And deserved justice . Victims are sometimes forgotten and de humanized, … but that was a person.

[eltoneagle]

All the actors were terrifying especially Gandolfini and Phoenix
