GREAT STORY -not viscerally gross as expected

Rating: Null/10 (27 February 2005)

I deliberately block out extra info about movies I want to see, so I went into this afraid I might be so disturbed afterwards & have little appetite like after "Chainsaw Massacre" & "Hannibal". To anyone sensitive who's turned off to eating while watching certain movies, this movie's "food friendly" (or am I getting jaded?) "Saw" should actually be classified as a Thriller/Mystery vehicle, w/ horrific elements riding along. And the writer and director are so young! and this is their first movie?! I'M VERY IMPRESSED. AND MARKET THAT EVIL CLOWN DUDE to sell!! I'm sure it'd be a hit even to eccentrics who haven't seen the movie & impulse shoppers, then you got the people who've seen the movie.
