I bought this movie before I even saw it.

Rating: 10/10 (8 April 2005)

I was expecting Saw to be a Friday the 13th-type slasher movie with a twist - the killer gets his victims to kill themselves in what I thought would be a cool new innovative idea for a horror movie.
This is not what I got.
It was better.
To some it up quickly this was the best thriller movie I've ever seen. Movie after movie that people like Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman put out, are the same we-know-who-the-killer-is-right-away & we-know-what-is-around-every corner; OR the story doesn't make any sense & and the ending doesn't make sense, movies.
Saw doesn't even make you ask yourself these questions because it uses great misdirection and by the end of the movie I wanted to watch it over again; not to catch all the details that most of these types of movies require you to do (because by the end you fully understand Saw's plot, details, and ending), but because I was so impressed I just had to see it again.
It's worth the buy but if you don't buy DVD's Saw is what they call a MUST-RENT. Don't be turned off by the graphic previews and movie posters - just press play and enjoy the show.
