The best film I have seen in my life... EVER

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2005)

Saw first came to my attention on a rainy afternoon during the school holidays, where given the choice between "Saw" and "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang", I chose it. I haven't stopped thinking about it ever since. It is the most well written film I have seen in my life, the mixture between physiological horror and a bloody good thriller makes it simply fantastic. Adam (Leigh Whannel) wakes to find himself submerged in water in a subterranean bathroom. With him is Dr. Lawrence Gordon. Neither captive has any idea how they got there or why- but the killer has left them two hacksaws. Not strong enough to cut through their steel shackles, but strong enough to slice through flesh and bone.
It is the most amazing piece of screenplay I have seen in my life- I just can't understand why some people dislike it! Leigh Whannel is excellent in this film, as is Cary Elwes :D
