The start of something

Rating: 8/10 (2 September 2016)

This is definitely the start of something, the saw franchise of course but also the start of a torture porn frenzy that included hostel and the like in it's wave.
but this movie, is now torture porn, there is very little graphic torture or blood, it's by far the easiest to watch saw movie and in my opinion the best. the traps that were laid were ingenious and the ending was (i didn't see it coming) great,
from here on in the Saw franchise became a competition on how graphic it could be and if it could beat nightmare on elm streets as many releases in as many years (not that i don't like these sequels..)
This first one however, remains a standout movie that will forever be swept up in the average baggage of its sequels.
