A leap for recent horrors. Gory and Exhilarating

Rating: 8/10 (26 May 2009)

Just the idea of a serial killer named "Jigsaw" has you hooked enough already. Saw an outstanding achievement in horrors. Yes it's sort of weird but it gives you an idea of what's to come in future "Saw series" It's highly entertaining and a decent paced thriller. A nice idea of a sick an twisted mind, projecting that on Jigsaw's victims. From an overview in some ways it could actually been a tad better, but that tad was slightly missed.
Very clever plot. With a dead body laying between them, two men (Whannell and Elwes) wake up in the secure lair of a serial killer who's been nicknamed "Jigsaw" by the police because of his unusual calling card. Reading that a definite mystery is going on and you know that for sure. Your thoughts will wonder why? Why them two? Offcoarse it will all be explained during the movie. So obviously the plot was spot on and a major mystery.
I'm sure you all know already that there all apart of a "game." A game designed by a sick serial killer. So yes expect traps, unknown identity's, gory scenes, a mystery, mind games and a twist. Acting was some what superb, not the most familiar known cast around, but did a very decent job. Especially one. No one else would be chose otherwise.
All in all a obvious explosive horror. With some gore and a lot of thrills and twist. The mood of the movie matches with the intensity of some scenes. A great horror flick for your movie night. And a soon to be legendary in the horror series. Executed well by director James Wan.
