I was impressed!

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2005)

Saw (2004) was a very good horror film. I went into the movie theater with pretty low expectations. Great, another lame horror film with a lot of jump cuts and flashing images. The film had those but they were used very well. The direction and acting were all up to par.
The film starts off with two guys in a barren wash room, decay is present everywhere. The two fellows have no idea why they're chained to some corroded pipes. During this time, a crazed killer is on the loose preying upon a select group of individuals. Their tormentor communicates to the two through a hidden speaker and telephone. What unspeakable horror awaits them?
I don't want to tell you any more. The best thing about this film is the surprises that awaits the viewers. To give it would ruin this movie. All I can say is that I highly recommend this film. October was a good month for horror fans. The Grudge and Saw were some nice pre-Halloween treats for film fans!
