Movie Description
Be prepared to be scared. James Wan's directorial debut, written by and starring Leigh Whannell, is a violent, bloody, psychologically exhausting and exhilarating exercise in terror. Adam (Whannell) and Dr. Gordon (Cary Elwes) are chained in a vile, disgusting bathroom, separated by a bloody corpse holding a gun and a tape recorder. They are each given a saw--the only obvious way out is to cut one of their feet off. A serial killer who specializes in torturing morally bereft strangers is playing a game with them: Gordon has less than eight hours to kill Adam or else the doctor's wife (Monica Potter) and daughter (Mackenzie Vega) will be murdered. As the two men engage in a battle of wits, alternately trying to help each other and secretly attempting to win the game, a series of flashbacks reveals the history of the madman and the pair of detectives (Danny Glover and Ken Leung) handling the case. Some of the torture scenes are excruciatingly horrible and hard to watch, a real treat for fans of the genre. Inspired by the work of David Lynch (BLUE VELVET, TWIN PEAKS) and Dario Argento (SUSPIRIA, INFERNO), Wan has created a scintillating suspense thriller that will have audiences continually shocked, repelled, frightened, and surprised, right up to the very last second (which Whannell has said was influenced by the endings of such films as THE USUAL SUSPECTS and THE SIXTH SENSE). The accompanying heavy metal soundtrack is appropriately scary as well.

Editorial Reviews
"[SAW] does a better-than-average job of conveying the panic and helplessness of men terrorized by a sadist in a degrading environment..."
New York Times - Stephen Holden (10/29/2004)

"SAW is a gristle-cut B psycho thriller that would like to tap the sickest corners of your imagination."
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (11/05/2004)

"SAW is gripping exploitation, laughing off claims to seriousness while giving its audience a more pungent ride than recent mainstream offerings."
Sight and Sound - Andrew Osmond (12/01/2004)

"Utterly nihilistic and relentlessly tense, SAW is a must for horror freaks."
Rolling Stone - Peter Relic (02/24/2005)

Ranked #9 in Rolling Stone's "Top 25 DVDs Of 2005' -- "First-time director James Wan and screenwriter Whannell have a way with splatter. Better duck."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (12/01/2005)

    SAW is A Masterpiece!!!

    One of the greatest Horror Movies of All-Time

    SAW is spectacular. The music, the atmosphere, the flashbacks, and Jigsaws voice. Everything about this movie will have your skin crawling and your blood boiling.

    SAW I is by far the creepiest film in the trilogy, and for a film that was shot over 18 days with no rehearsal time for the actors, this film delivers.

    SAW offers up a brilliant cast featuring the likes of Cary Elwes, Danny Glover, Dina Meyer, Michael Emerson, Tobin Bell, Monica Potter, Shawnee Smith, and Writer/Director Leigh Whannell.

    SAW offers constant tension from the very get go. It had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. It's hard to explain how incredible this film is without just saying you MUST SEE IT.

    SAW sets the bar very high for future horror films, mainly due to the fact that it was filmed on such a small budget. Because of this Director James Wan took a major gamble and decided to work for free, and take a percentage of the profits.

    Final Verdict:

    6/5

    Rent or Buy?: I gave it a 6 out of 5. Buying this movie is the only way to go. SAW is the movie Horror fans have been waiting for. Do yourself a favor, pick up your copy today!!!

    IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.

    This movie is very realistic....so much so that dark, dank basements could become the new equivalent to the famous "shower scene" from the original "Psyco" movie....yikes. It is interesting that the director worked backwards in the sense that the movie was born based on a predetermined modest budget. Hence, a story was based mostly around a single room where costs could be kept low. Not many directors could pull off the results that James Wan did. I can't wait to see what happens in the sequel opening this weeked....boo!

    Happy Halloween!
