Guilty Pleasure

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2005)

I just got this account and the first movie I chose to review was Saw(2004). There are two reasons for this: one is that it's become extremely difficult to find a good horror movie anymore and two is because I saw it for the first time last night. This is probably one of maybe seven ten movies I've ever seen. as time goes on with this account (if you, the reader, see more of my reviews) it will become painstakingly clear that I hate most films, especially horror. As I read a lot of your comments I see that a lot of people hated this film-why? The acting, although weak and faltering in some parts, made up for it in the important scenes in the movie. For those of you who said that it was a horrid ending I say to hell with you. The reason he could stay still so long and the reason he was doing it all was that he had a purpose-vengeance on those who take their life for granted when he has to suffer every minute he's alive. If you were listening you may have heard that he had an inoperable brain tumor-one that made him go the path of insanity which is not unheard of in those extreme cases (actually it's common). The real reason I gave the film a ten was because of that end scene-complete darkness with tortured screams calling out one after the other. the fact that characters we have grown to like get it right up the ass, figuratively of course.
