Way way back, a long time ago, I installed a rotary type cutter in the
color print processing room. Before that we used to cut the paper using
a pair of sissors. The rotary cutter always made a true 90 degree cut.
(I chose the rotary cutter over the other type for safety reasons..dim
light and dimmer assistents).

Both styles will work ok for film but I recommend the rotary type for safety

My only experience was way back in the day where the studio I worked
at as a young buck bought 8x10 buy the van load and yours truly would
use a guillotine(non rotary) cutter to cut to the required size. Do
rotary cutters work better?

Who knew when I joined this group some time ago I'd be deluged with
such helpful solititations for so many useful products that I never
knew I needed. ;-}
