A horror film that is finally good

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2006)

Over the years, the horror genre has followed the same scripted events. Most give you a cheap scream from a frightened young girl three rows back in the movie theater. I had lost faith in horror movies ever getting out of the generic rut that they were in. Then along came SAW.
Two men wake up in a strange room, chained to a pipe, and don't know how they got there. To make matters worse, there's a dead guy on the floor between the both of them. After prying the recorder from the dead individual's fingers and play the tapes marked with their names, they find out they are part of a deadly game. One played by a notorious serial killer, the papers have dubbed "Jigsaw". Events unfold and the plot twists at every turn as the two men slowly regain their memories of how they got into the situation that they're in.
Once you start SAW, you're taken in for the whole ride. One that's a thrill from start to finish and doesn't let you take a breather. 'n for once, it's not the usual Hollywood generic script.
