Who needs big budgets?

Rating: 7/10 (28 July 2008)

If you've ever wanted to see B-Movie brilliance in action, look here. Saw is fantastic.
The story line is original, gripping and very tense. The acting isn't particularly great, borderline poor at times, but not so bad you start to roll your eyes, though that said, I have never been a fan of Danny Clover in any way.
The story line cannot be praised enough, it keeps you guessing throughout and, just when you think you've got it sussed out, the film springs the ending on you. The ending made my hairs stand on end. Not only that, if the film had flopped abit, it had an end, but if it was successful and a 2nd was on the cards (as it turned out there was) a sequel was perfectly set up, no other way to say it.
The only problem with it is, once you've seen it, it can't have the same effect, but thats no real criticism
Verdict: Saw came from nowhere to completely blind side everyone. Dare I suggest a future classic?
