THE SAW SERIES IS THE BEST SERIES OF FILMS EVER MADE!!! JIGSAW IS MY HERO!!! HE HAS MADE ME APPRECIATE MY LIFE FOR WHAT IT IS. AFTER WATCHING THE FIRST ONE, I REALLY REFLECTED ON MY LIFE AND REALIZED HOW GRATEFUL I AM TO BE ALIVE!
"SOME PEOPLE ARE SO UNGRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE, BUT NOT YOU! NOT ANYMORE!!!"
I love this movie! It proves that a simple, original concept and a good script makes a great movie. The "two guys chained in a bathroom" concept is pure genius, and the acting is far more substantial than most horror movies. James Wan and Leigh Wannell totally knew what they were doing. Amazing.
'Saw' is one of the better horror films in recent memory. I suppose it's more of a thriller than horror, although it still is gory and serves well on a horrific level. It's sort of a cross between 'Se7en' and 'The Silence of the Lambs' I'd say, and altough not nearly as great as either of those films it's still quite good.
'Saw' opens with two men who wake up in a dilapidated public restroom with no memory of how or why they are where they are. Chained to the floor, they are both utterly confused and terrified. Together, they begin to piece together the memory of what happened to them as the serial killer, nicknamed Jigsaw threatens them and plays numerous mind games that lead up to their demise. Meanwhile, detectives and officials are on the trail of the brutal serial murderer, trying to save the men the entire time.
This is definitely a smart thriller and it will have you on the edge of your seat from the very beginning to the bloody, limb-severing conclusion. The entire movie has a dark, damp setting, and is overloaded with intense scenes and lots of gore, that are sure to please any horror fan. On top of that, the cleverly-woven story is unique and underived. James Wan does an excellent job, especially considering this to be his first feature film. I can't wait to see some his future stuff.
Bottom line - 'Saw' is a smart, grisly, unforgiving, all-around brutal horror movie that is unique and original. If you are looking for a horror movie a notch above your average slasher flick, I advise you see 'Saw'.
A film with what I'd consider excellent acting, something that's become almost impossible to find in most horror movies. I like how all the films deal with the human condition - the darker side of people, capabilities of committing acts of both good and evil , burden of guilt, and frailty/vulnerability.
I Recently Watched Saw And Was Very Pleased.
It Combines Emotion With Fear.
The Aim Of The Film Was To Get This Message across: Look At Whats Really There, Not Whats Right In Front Of You.
Cary Elwes And Newcomer Leigh Whannell( Also Writer) Put On Stunning Performances.
And Child Star Makenzie Vega (Sister To Alexa Vega)
Played Her Role As Diana Very Well, I Have Never Seen A Child Act With So Much Emotion.
Also Minor Roles From Tobin Bell And Shawnee Smith Added More Suspension To The Film.
The Climax Of The Film Was By Far Shocking, With A Performance From Michael Emerson And Danny Glover.
Leigh Whannell Says This : "James And I Were So Amazed That We Actually Got The Likes Of Danny Glover And Cary Elwes!"
Even Though They Only Had 18 Days To Film It, Saw Is An Instant Cult Classic!
“I guess plot doesn’t mean anything to anyone anymore, just gore . . .” . . . says the man who likes The Decent, which is a hopeless cliché from start to finish. Monsters that could be copy/pasted from any movie, oh-no! I’m only imagining this! ending. Come on now, people.
On the contrary, Saw is one of the most perfect movies I’ve ever seen. The plot is more original and complex than anything released in . . . well, my lifetime. The plot twist ending is literally better than most any twist I’ve ever seen because it has nothing to do with boring, cliché physiological stuff we’ve all seen a hundred times.
Those who say this movie lacks a plot are too simple minded to understand it. Or they just can’t get over the fact that something this balls-to-the-wall actually has some intelligence. If you hate the story, fine. If you think it was poorly executed, fine. But people, don’t make a fool of yourself by saying it lacks a plot.
Contrary to what critics would have you believe, this anti-cliché anti-critical acclaim piece of awesomeness will still be something your grandchildren will know about. Saw is a legend. If not because of the story itself, because of the fact it defied everything the critics love and still became one of the most well-known horror franchises ever made.
This movie is pritty good. Its just like 88 minites and friday the 13th in one. The ending was a little disturbing but it was good and gory and thats how it should be.
a pretty good movie though only worth watching once. The ending is exciting. here watch saw 2 and, 3 4 is shit and lets hope saw 5 and 6 are as good as 2 and 3.

These movies have become a disgrace to horror movies around the world. I guess plot and acting aren't important to people any more. I think the franchisee of Saw is aiming to just hire shitty actors that have never been in a movie before. The Idea was creative with the first saw but it has become redundant with each film and I don't know why I bother watching them. It starts out with some people who are "flawed" and then they go through this entire process of "finding themselves" and in the end just die, and the whole time the killer is in the room. This is the structure for every Saw that has been made and will be made. To touch up on the caliber of the actors, the producers are extreme misers. They obviously have enough money to hire good writers and good actors but instead they take the cheap way out and it always shows. Now no one with half a brain or career will even touch these movies. They already have 5 and 6 lined up, so please people stop going to see these movies we must stop this franchisee in its tracks.
