Best psychological horror film in years.

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2004)

SAW proves you don't need a multi-million dollar budget and heaps of special effects to make a great film. It's more psychologically graphic than visually, and the great ending won't be guessed by anyone (unlike the Sixth Sense which about half the audience figured out 20 minutes into the film). SAW is a slick film with the lead writer also being the lead actor. There's virtually no big names in it, but that helps it more than anything. This film would flop with big-name actors and Hollywood cash behind it, because it would have been formulaic. Better than Sixth Sense, better than Seven, better than Unbreakable. Jigsaw masks should be a big seller for Halloween 2005.
