The Best Modern Horror Film

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2008)

Let me start off by saying that I am NOT a Saw franchise fan boy. I absolutely despise every single sequel to this film that the studios have somehow managed to churn out. This film is different from all of it's sequels. It is a well thought out, and extremely well written film with a lot going for it. I love this film and I revisit it every Halloween.
As I was saying, this movie is best if think of it as its own film and not the first of a franchise. The story is one of the most brilliant and intricate things I've seen in recent years. The acting is definitely rough but it didn't take away from the movie for me. I also love the score, it adds a lot.
Saw is a good movie, the Saw franchise sucks. Stay away from the sequels and just see Saw. The sequels honestly ruin it!
