This movie is good

Rating: 6/10 (22 July 2017)

SAW is the first of the SAW septology, and definitely the best. The creators had a vision for an original horror movie that was unlike any American slasher movie around at the time. I like how they were able to use their budget effectively, and use aspects of the production that could have been problems to their advantage. This can be seen in how they used their inability to have too many exterior shots or different locations to create a sense of claustrophobia and isolation. The only real issues I have are that some of the actors aren't pulling their weight in terms of bringing the story to life, and some of the stuff that happens is stupid. Overall, this is a fun, creative movie that's worth watching if you like horror and bad editing.
