"Hello Amanda, I'd like to start a franchise"

Rating: 6/10 (16 April 2019)

Saw is a pretty good (And very gory) horror film.
Pros;

Before it became ridiculously overdone, the trap/torture sub genre of horror worked really well here land had the viewer both disturbed and at the edge of their seat waiting to see how a trap would work!
The twist ending is still one of the most iconic to this day. Truly chilling!
The score is instantly recognisable and sends chills down your spine.

Cons;

The acting is mediocre at best. Some actors are truly appalling: especially Leigh Whannel and Cary Elwes (The two leads ðŸ˜¬).
There are several plot points which lead nowhere (Danny Glover's Detective David and his theory against Elwes' Dr Lawrence Gordon, etc) in an already puzzling story.

Verdict;
Despite terrible acting and a very confusing plot, with the (Small) budget of $1.2 million taken into account, Saw's twists and trap ingenuity gives it a clear identity against other horror films and is instantly recognisable by it's traps, theme and confusing stories.
