Good movie; got me thinking

Rating: 9/10 (24 October 2005)

I have seen this movie twice, and the second time I saw it, (no pun intended) it got me thinking. Anyone out there who has seen it knows how it works. The mastermind of the killing sets up an elaborate plan to force his victims to kill themselves. The mastermind also teaches life lessons, as twisted as that may be, with his killings. Technically, the mastermind does not kill his victims. I really admire this guy. His setups are so amazing. I really liked the plan where he had the guy and he had to open the safe to stay alive, and the combination was written on the wall and there were numbers over every square inch of the wall. Also, he had a candle to see by and there was a flammable poison that was rubbed over his skin. He died, obviously. I just thought that it was so interesting. Another plan was where a girl would get her head blown up if she didn't cut out this living man's stomach and get the key that was in there. She made it just in time and she survived. It really got me thinking. What if I was in a similar situation? What would I do? Would I be able to take another life, to saw off my foot, or set someone on fire? I don't think I could, but in that scenario, I think that I would have put my morals aside and just do it. Just something to think about in the form of a horror movie.
