8mm 2. (2005)

An in name only sequel to the Nic Cage original. Unfortunately this isn't a patch on that underrated 1999 film from Joel Schumacher.

Clearly filmed on a much lower budget but utilizing the streets and sights of Budapest the film's problem is it just isn't sleazy enough. Sure there are a few sex scenes and a fair bit of nudity but it lacks the scuzzy, dangerous feel of the original and just seems like any direct to video erotic thriller from the late eighties.

I had no problem with the acting, Lori Heuring made for a decent lead actress, but she wasn't given enough to do by the unremarkable script, nor by horror hack director JS Cardone's inability to raise any levels of tension or excitement.

Another film that wasn't terrible, just terribly average.
