Saw (2004)

Saw. I really do have a love/hate-relationship with this movie. Why? I'll tell you. The script is superbly written. Lawrence and Adam act exactly like human beings would act in such a situation, and Elwes and Whannell live up to their characters as far as their acting goes, and Charlie Clouser's spectacular score does really elevate their performances, even though it isn't necessarily used as well as it could've been used. Even though Elwes kinda overacts, it is interesting to see how well he manages to keep his british accent out of the way, transforming his voice to this Eastwood-kinda thingy. Actually he even sounded like Dr. Loomis from Halloween 6 around the end, which is great. Glover also surprised me, taking on a pretty serious dramatic role when you usually see the guy as Mel Gibs...Read more

the 2004 movie that started the series, about lessons learned in life; the hard way. Danny Glover plays a detective on a hunt to find a madman who’s victims deaths are just they’re failures of an unsuspecting unwilling game. The game depends on how they view life and what they choose to take for granted; setting up the room they die in and how they get helped before they even realize it. The main game taken place in this film is with two people in it, trapped in a room with a chain on their foot and a dead man in the middle of them. Both have to cooperate in order to play the game, and both of them have secrets, form both the world and each other. This film came out before there was hype in the series, when it was just a horror film with not that big of an audience. I decided to give i...Read more

''I want to play a game.'' With a dead body laying between them, two men (Whannell and Elwes) wake up in the secure lair of a serial killer who's been nicknamed "Jigsaw" by the police because of his unusual calling card. Leigh Whannell: Adam The original Saw, a film that was originally planned for a straight-to-video release but after receiving positive nods at pre-set screenings, was finally given the go ahead in October 2004, just in time for Halloween. Saw contains one of the those plots that shows you certain plot threads then twists them and distorts them for mouth watering results. It's not hard to see why this almost hit the instant DVD release list. I mean, people will closely observe that it obviously contains similarities of its successors, namely Seven (95), and that ...Read more

I admit this film is sick and very twisted. It has a lot of blood, and the ideas that Jigsaw has for killing his victims are also very sick but this film is entertaining and very enjoyable to watch. I mean, come on people, it is not real torture, it is a film. The plot in the first saw film is just starting to show what Jigsaw does, how he does it, and why he does it. It starts off with two men trapped in a big room, with a dead guy laying in the middle. While they are in that room,they must find clues and figure out why they are there. Meanwhile, they begin realizing who each other are, and the story becomes even more in depth and enjoyable to watch. If you have not seen this film, then I suggest you do. It is a great horror film.

I think "saw" was a fun amazing movie. With some many twist and turns. I give it 5 stars. There is some much blood and lives that were lost...

The lowest common denominator of film. The Saw films are more easy to make than a baked bean sandwich. Anyone with a pen can write these storylines, take a weirdo, a warehouse and make someone sew their eyes together..done.

In fact my friends and I have developed more orginal and 'ironic' ideas in drunken 'would you rather?' conversations.

I also question the mental stability of anyone who enjoys watching movies of this genre.

This film had Danny Glover in it, so just HOW was it so bad! I can only assume that the appreciation for this film and its sequels comes from the sick pleasure you get out of seeing the weird and wonderful ways the killer comes up with murdering his victims. There really isn't much else to say about this film. It isn't really clever or interesting, Se7en blows it clean out of the water. Just watch that instead.

Muchísimo suspenso, una película que combina terror con suspenso y que seguramente se convertirá en precursora del thrller moderno. No apta para personas impresionables, cruda, con ecenas fuertes y con una creciente tensión que no cesa hasta el segundo final de la película en el que el descenlace es la frutilla del postre.
