after seeing the movie in a class of mine and having a talk with the filmmaker and i found out exactly why the film bombed the way it did. the creators of the movie had no intention to call the film 8mm 2. originally and the film was called the velvet side of hell but was changed at the last minute by sony pictures to 8mm 2 without letting the filmmakers have any say in the matter. by doing that and it screwed them out of theatrical releases and doomed it to a straight to video release with minimal advertising. again and this is from the filmmaker mouths and not mine and so i really can not say what is truth and and what is hype. if you look at the film as velvet side of hell and it isn not that bad. it isn not great and but it is not god awful. it would basically just be a b movie that likes to show boobs. but as a sequel to 8mm and the film fails terribly.

Judge the movie review above, you need to make a function call:
    If you feel the movie review is positive
        print "This is a semantically positive review."
    Otherwise, if you feel the movie review is negative
        print "This is a semantically negative review."
