If you loved The Number 23, try 8MM
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Joel Schumacher, and they sit in Crime / Mystery / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Number 23, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What 8MM is
Snowfall. A film can, tucked in an envelope. Welles stares; a widow hires him. The reel shows a murder. He descends into the Los Angeles underworld, seeking the girl's identity. Schumacher's lurid thriller is less interesting than its pre-Y2K moral panic.
