after see the movie in a class of mine and have a talk with the filmmaker and i find out exactly why the film bomb the way it do . the creator of the movie have no intention to call the film 8mm 2. originally and the film be call the velvet side of hell but be change at the last minute by sony picture to 8mm 2 without let the filmmaker have any say in the matter . by do that and it screw them out of theatrical release and doom it to a straight to video release with minimal advertising . again and this be from the filmmaker mouth and not mine and so i really can not say what be truth and and what be hype . if you look at the film a velvet side of hell and it isn not that bad . it isn not great and but it be not god awful . it would basically just be a b movie that like to show boob . but a a sequel to 8mm and the film fail terribly .
