I you need a pillow to cower behind, get one now.

Rating: 9/10 (5 September 2006)

Two men named Adam and Lawrence wake up chained to pipes in a filthy bathroom with a corpse lying on the floor. they slowly realise that they are the latest victims of the "Jigsaw Killer", a madman who is known to not kill people but to get his victims to kill themselves in his twisted games such as finding antidotes for slow acting poisons and crawling through sharp objects towards a door before it seals shut.
Lawrence is instructed to kill Adam so his wife, daughter and his own lives will be spared but the time is ticking.
I think this film sets a new standard of horror, the camera-work is brilliant and the acting is pretty good, but the main reason is the claustrophobic setting and the throughout tension created by not knowing whats going to happen next unlike the Friday the 13th series when every death is pretty predictable.
The gritty picture gives it the feel of a horror movie, I also liked the puppet which kind of reflects some peoples fears of ventriloquists dummies and china faced dolls when they were young.
Overall, The film is a must see for all horror fans and the following quote by David Quantick on 28 days later is what I would say about Saw "I've never been so frightened by a modern film in my life".
