great movie

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2005)

I thought this movie was one of the best scary movies I've ever seen. In the past few years "scary" movies have been disappointing to me such as "Dawn of the Dead" and "Exorcist the Beginning." Even the "Ring." Until Saw, most movies used cheap scare tactics such as loud music or silence, but in Saw, it was the viewer's imagination of what could be or what would happen that made it scary. While watching this film I was thinking that it takes someone with a very wide sense of imagination to come up with a plot like this. I felt like the scriptwriters of this film were serial killers, thats how satisfied I was with this film. I mean, having victims kill themselves with horrific alternatives instead of the standard murderer was GREAT!!! In addition, I liked the puppet-like character that spoke throughout the movie--I thought that was real unique. When I heard there was going to be a sequel for this movie, I got really excited. However, I hope it wont be disappointing and ruin the original.
