watch it alone

Rating: Null/10 (3 October 2004)

I watched SAW on Saturday morning and was completely alone in the cinema. It was very scary and gripping. It had me on the edge of my seat all the way through. I found the relationship between the two police similar to that of the two main characters in se7en, but this just added to the dark mysterious nature of the movie. I was satisfyingly shocked at the climax of the film and delighted with the horrifying twist at the end. It's refreshing to see a gritty and truly gripping thriller, that actually does thrill the pants off you. Also I'd like to see more 18 certificate movies where film makers are constructively thinking about shocking scarring and giving audiences the much needed wake up call to all that is horror, rather than going for ratings by wussing out with the content and going for lower certificates to increase audiences!
