Morbid, Sick, A Good Thriller Movie!

Rating: 8/10 (12 November 2004)

Well, after I saw the trailer in the theater for this one I was instantly hooked. I mean, how gruesome is a killer who tries to get people to cut their own legs off in order to escape?! I was surprised to see Danny Glover and Cary Elwes in it and their star power further persuaded me to watch "Saw".
This film isn't just simple horror gore. It is known as a psychological thriller/horror, kind of like Silence of the Lambs or Seven. It has their gore too. Strangers are abducted and put into dire situations (kind of like a lethal contest) where they must play some psycho's (Jigsaw's)sick games that he thinks eradicate evil. There are a couple of weak areas: Glover and Elwes' characters toward the end and shackles with electrodes in them. But mostly this film gives good shock therapy in surprising the audience and in making them repel from the horrors on the screen.
The ending...well, that's probably the best and most shocking part. Anyone who spoils it for you probably just gave away the main reason for watching. 8/10
