Round Of Applause!

Rating: 9/10 (11 August 2008)

Saw is a psychological horror movie in which two strangers wake up in a large, old bathroom, each shackled to a sewage pipe on either side of the room. As soon as they wake, they begin to find clues as to why they're there. One of them must kill the other by 6 on the clock or his family will be killed, with some complications. They soon begin to figure who has put them there, and then the bloodbath unfolds!
I didn't hear much about this movie when it came out. It was recommended to me by a friend. I was stunned! The movie was jaw-dropping. For a budget of only 1 million dollars, they did a tremendous job making this film. The first time you watch this movie it's like an intense roller coaster ride that never seems to end, and when you think all the twists and loops have passed, think again. The suspense continues to build throughout the whole movie, and then about 3/4 of the way through, the bottom falls out and all hell breaks loose! It's all capped off with a stunning ending. Great, great movie. Great plot, great dialogue, great everything. Give James Wan and Leigh Whannell a solid round of applause on this mind-boggling masterpiece...
