One of the few and the great in new horror movies

Rating: 9/10 (18 February 2008)

Since all of these new horror films or torture films have started coming out, there haven't been many great ones. Saw however delivers perfectly and always keeps you thinking about the story, and not about who is going to have their arm or leg chopped off next. Not saying that gore is not a sometimes good thing in horror films, but it cannot be the entire movie. Saw's plot is distinctive and detailed and really gives you an inside look at what is happening inside the mind of the killer, Jigsaw. Jigsaw, however, is not your ordinary Jason Vorheese masked killer who doesn't talk sort of guy. He is completely obsessed with teaching his victims the value of the life they hold in their bodies. Jigsaw has a severe case of cancer that cannot be cured, so it is easily understood why he is so obsessed. In the film, Jigsaw decides to incorporate 2 victims, or players in his game. Normally his games only have one player and they fight for their life in a vicious trap that usually has something to do with why Jigsaw has put them there. The 2 new players are Dr. Gordon, a surgeon who is cheating on his wife, and Adam, a man who spies on people for money. Both have been chosen by Jigasw to play in his most intense game of all. Locked in a disgusting industrial bathroom, the two must fight for their lives in an extreme game that will test their fears to the next level.
In this extreme thrill ride, Saw, delivers like a roller coaster on the loose, with twists and turns you will never expect. And an ending thats sure to be kept in your head forever.
