SAW IT

Rating: 4/10 (5 May 2004)

Saw the preview last night. Disappointed ... they were handed the Horror Crown Jewels and screwed it up. Fortunately, you can't screw up established properties to the point of no return, but they give it a good try. I saw many people get up and leave for pee breaks even though exciting scenes were happening. I need to see it again, without the running commentary from the guy behind, who thought he was doing MST (without the jokes). It is watchable, trashy but watchable with some very good performances. However instead of them taking time and developing characters for a franchise run, they just squeeze in everything they can and it doesn't work. The brides are the best part of the movie.
