The Incomparable Movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2004)

If you haven't seen Saw, or at least have, this is the review you are going to want to read. For some of the illiterate people out there, incomparable means so outstanding as to be beyond comparison, or unsurpassed. There's no definition that could greater fit the movie. This review will include no spoilers for the fact that if you plan on seeing this movie, knowing what happens would be the worst thing for you. Let's focus on some of the great feats of Saw.
First of all, there haven't been any good horror/thriller movies out in so long. I'd have to say I did enjoy the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but this is a whole different movie. Mostly everyone knows how the storyunfolds. Adam and Dr. Gordon wake up in a place that is a mystery to them, as well, another mystery is how they got there, who put them there, and most importantly why.
Throughout the 2 characters going back and forth trying to figure what is going on, a series of events if brought up to help you piece together the puzzle. But this is definitely one movie that you will never know what happened until the grande finale, and let me tell you, this had one of the best endings I have ever seen in a horror/thriller movie, even in any movie. There are SOME plot holes, but for most of the part, everything falls together perfectly...
As for the violence/gore factor, it is indeed a horror movie, and therefore is a semi/good amount in it. Enough to make a little kid throw up, but almost not enough to satisfy die-hard horror fans. Overall, I guess that would be an opinion question because I did hear about people throwing up when seeing it.
Everyone sees movies their own way. That's why you get a lot of different opinions on if a movie is scary or not. Unlike cheap horror movies nowadays, Saw uses many different styles to keep you interested, or furthermore to "attract" you more into the movie. Watch any horror movie and the only reason it would be scary is because you know that person or something is going to jump out, you just don't know when, and when it does, it always seems to make you jump, but not in Saw. The environment of the movie is the creepy part, with good camera work and lighting every now and then, the movie is a constant chill.
Lastly, I think Saw has the perfect twists and turns waiting to be unraveled. When I first saw Scream many and many years ago, I thought that was crazy. How there were 2 killers, but to Saw, that is nothing, nothing at all. The end is breathtaking and jawdropping. It will leave you speechless, but at the same time wondering, and putting all the pieces of the puzzle together. Seven can't compare with this movie. The only thing Seven has on this is the cast: Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kevin Spacey (and of course the acting.)
So go see Saw, it's worth every penny of the ticket price, and if you're looking for the horror film of the year, here it is.
