Wasted Premise

Rating: 6/10 (8 November 2004)

i guess my expectations were too high. i was hoping it would be at least half as good as se7en. the premise was great but as the movie unfolded it was totally squandered. don't even get me started on the acting. first off you have to at least have some empathy for your characters. it doesn't help that you actually want them to die. also there is no killer per se. someone sets up situations where you could kill yourself or others. there were unintentional laughs as well. not good for a horror film. *******MAJOR SPOILER ALERT*********people are also talking about the twist or shocking ending...what the hell?.....this Jigsaw has a major condition and he is able to lie on a hard cement floor for hours on end...come on...i do admit it was watchable and light years from The Grudge and other so called horror flicks we've seen too much of these days, but with that premise they could have gone for gold.
