Absolutely brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2005)

What can I say, I loved it ! Saw is definitely on my list of the most truly disturbing films that I've seen, along with "Session 9". The sense of helplessness and dread hits you from the very beginning, and stays with you throughout. The terror and fear the film produces is of a brand I haven't experienced for quite a long time (not since "Session 9" at least, albeit for different reasons). More chilling than a supernatural story simply because, however far-fetched it may seem to the cynical viewer, the events depicted in "Saw" are possible of being concocted by the sick mind of a serial killer, and are not completely outside the realms of reality.
Without going into it too much through fear of spoiling the ending, the film's ability to surprise you at every turning is excellent and doesn't fail to impress until the end credits are rolling.
Definitely one to watch.
