Did you see Saw? I saw Saw and what I saw was....

Rating: 7/10 (27 July 2015)

NOT BAD! I'd really like for the Motion Picture Academy to have "Best Horror Film." Heck, maybe they do; I'm not sure! However, IF they did, I would think that Saw-1 could have been a nominee. Then again, it wouldn't have been called "Saw-1" at that time since there's been about 27 additional Saw movies since. Okay. Well, only six additional "Saws."
I read that the shooting budget was $700,000. They went a tad over at 1.2 million smackers! But Saw took in just over $103 million worldwide! That's a nice ROI! BTW, 55 million of that 103 came from North America. Not unexpected.
SPOILER COMING!!
They set up the way Saw (Saw-1) ended, believing there almost HAD to be a sequel (or six!) Ironically, good old Jiggy (Tobin Bell), spent 99.73% of camera time taking a nap. That part was quite absurd. Look, these aren't amongst the most credible movies, but the idea the Jiggy could lay there face down with a pool of "blood" around him and not even pass wind once in the hours he was idle, and not even be seen breathing, is just way too much for me. I guess he would have had to have Depends on.
The story go somewhat dull around 60 percent in before it picked up pace when Danny Glover started chasing Zeppers towards the end. However, all-in-all, as stated, the film wasn't bad for its genre leading me torn between 6.5 and 7 on the rating scale here.
If you haven't seen it, I suppose you may not. But if you do, I'd love to hear your opinion....thanks for reading mine!
I have a game to play.....Gotta run!
