What is the Italian film that rips off 8MM?


There was an Italian film, directed by somebody like Tinto Brass, that was almost a scene-by-scene remake of 8MM, except that the underground snuff filmmaker was a woman.

I think you might be referring to "Tesis", which is a Spanish film. "Tesis" predates 8mm so the rip-off was 8mm. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it (Tesis). It's AMAZING!

That really doesn't sound like a scene for scene copy of 8mm. It takes place on a collage campus. I think TC is thinking of some other movie

This movie reminds me of a French film about a former cop who happens upon a home movie of a child being raped by a pedophile and how he discovers the pedophile ring surrounding that video. Very similar story.
