low budget is no excuse for making this kind of poop

Rating: 1/10 (4 February 2005)

This film probably tries to be original, but it stumbles badly. Idea of a killer giving victims couple of options to live or die and punishing them for what they have been in their lives is not really original. It was seen for example in Seven, which was quality film and cannot even be compared to Saw.
The Plot and characters are filled with more holes than swiss cheese. Timings within the film and sets are not realistic. The turn-points in the plot were overly worked and unnaturally stiff.
Can't help thinking that director/writer James Wan has been overly abusive and voted the flick to average of 7.5 (04.feb.05). There is no reason why 8000 voters average would be as high as legendary film masterpieces other than someone is abusing the voting system. Box office goes along much with the rating and now we have a fault here.
