"Anyone Care To Play A Game?",
By
This review is from: Saw - Unrated (Two-Disc Special Edition) (DVD)
When Saw became a hit out of nowhere in 2004 nobody expected it to become a successful franchise with numerous sequels. After all with its cheap 1.2 million budget you wouldn't think it would be possible for Saw to be the highest grossing franchise in horror history. Saw is labeled as horror but it's much more complex than that, there's a lot of psychology involved. For instance the main character John Kramer, known as Jigsaw because he removes a puzzle piece from his victims, is labeled as a serial killer but it goes deeper than that. Jigsaw chooses his victims very carefully, he selects persons because 1) they don't appreciate life or 2) they've done something really wrong. He is testing their will to live trough his 'games' which are traps that often necessitate the victims to lose a body part or to go to extremes. You see, Jigsaw's goal is not to kill but rather to have the survivors enjoy life; it's a therapy he made. Saw puts photographer Adam and Doctor Lawrence in a disuse industrial bathroom both with their ankle chained, I the plot is now known enough that I don't need to explain what happens next.Saw became a phenomenon and in my opinion is one the best horror movie of the 2000s decade; it gave the horror genre a boost and inspired other movies. Whatever people may think about some of the sequels, the original one remains a great film and I think it's one of the best horror movies made.

this movie has ushered in a new era of horror movie.the intelligent horror movie.the premise is simple but effective.this is(or at least should be)a thought provoking chiller that will really make you change the way you look at life.there is more story than gore,which is a good thing when introducing a new franchise to the public.to me,this is one of the better horror films made in recent history.if you like the horror genre,you should really enjoy this movie.

A clever and stylish horror movie. One of the most original horror movies in a long time.,
By
This review is from: Saw (Widescreen) (DVD)
I have been a fan of horror movies for years from Scream to Friday the 13th to A Nightmare on Elm Street to Hellraiser. Saw is an original horror mopvie and there hasn't been anything like it before. Saw features two men trapped in a room with a dead body and they are forced to play a sick and twisted. The only way one can appreciate the brilliance of this movie is to watch it. I'm not one for spoiling a movie and I won't. This is one movie that you must see. It's twisted and evil and a one-of-a-kind horror movie. This movie will keep on the edge of your seat and the way some people die in this movie is taking horror to a whole new level. YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE. THIS IS ONE HORROR MOVIE THAT PEOPLE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT FOR YEARS!!
