Not even remotely as terrible as the poster...

Rating: 8/10 (19 September 2005)

I saw the poster but have never heard of this "saw" and because there was in fact nothing else to see I bought tickets for the show.
I was caught off-guard by this, it is very-very bloody, extremely violent and immensely dark. Cary Elves stars as Dr Lawrence Gordon, well acted and charismatic it is hard imagining him as Robin hood men in tights after a performance he gives us in this film.
The plot is very interesting, the concept brilliant...it kind off reminded me of "Seven" and in other ways "Texas Chainsaw massacre" and even "scream" It will gross you out and scare you to death if you are one that is faint of heard, but it will in fact entertain the hell out of you if you like scary-scary movies.
The verdict is that this is a mega sleeper hit, much better than the terrible poster and entertaining.
