Creepy!

Rating: 8/10 (3 March 2005)

"Saw" is a morality tale to the extreme. The question "What would you do to stay alive" is constantly posed through the movie. 2 men, Dr. Gordon (Cary Elwes) and Adam (Leigh Whannelle, who also helped with the screenplay)wake up in a room, each with a chain on their foot. A creepy voice tells the doctor that he has to make a choice: Kill Adam by 6 or his wife and child will die. Through a series of flashbacks, we find out that Dr. Gordon was originally a suspect in a series of grisly murders dubbed "The Jigsaw Murders." Funny thing is, the victims aren't murdered, but are manipulated by the serial killer to do themselves in. Many of the "murders" are graphic (This one individual had to climb through heavy duty barbed wire in order to escape). Danny Glover plays a detective that becomes obsessed with the case (And has his own battle scars dealing with the killer).
The ending is jaw dropping and you just KNOW that a sequel would have to be made (TOO many unanswered question!). By the time the credits roll, you wonder if YOU would do the same to stay alive.
For true horror buffs and for those who want a good scare.
