Absolute rubbish!

Rating: 1/10 (2 November 2005)

What a load of dross! This film is NOT scary - just pointlessly, gratuitously violent and gory.
It is drivel from start to finish. And, shortly before the final denouement, we get a 2 minute recap of everything that's happened in the film FOR NO REASON! Unless it's because the film makers assume that anyone watching this is so stupid they can't actually remember what happened 1 hour ago.
The "twists" are signposted miles in advance, such as they are, and, possibly deliberately (though I suspect I am granting the director/writer more intelligence than is their due) no empathy at all is generated for any of the characters, which makes it really quite boring.
I haven't seen Saw, and after this I would go a very long way to avoid seeing it. Avoid at all costs.
