A jigsaw piece to the puzzle of great horror films

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2005)

Saw was one of the best horror movies that I have seen in a while, it wasn't your horror film in the cinema today, more along the lines of Silence of the Lambs and Se7en. It was very well thought out, which I could tell because when ever I thought I knew something or how it would turn out, it switched around to be something that I would never suspected. It also didn't make things too obvious (which it wouldn't have mattered anyway due to the sudden changes in the movie) but it did a good job by just doing things just right. For example, I was certain that during the scene where Dr. Gordon was demonstrating surgery to show the medical students, that Zep Hindle (Michael Emerson) was the killer due to his shy mysteriousness and the way that the Doctor kind of embarrassed him, but it so happened to seem that it wasn't him behind the whole thing ( or at least with out a choice) but the madman was lying in the room the whole time with the doctor and the photographer, which the killer's identity was not given, leading you to watch the sequel due this Halloween which I am definitely going to see.
