October 29th, only two days before Halloween. A friend and I went to see SAW (i kno, see-saw, its been said too many times now and its no longer funny). I went to the get a ticket, and was asked to see ID. I knew then that I was going to be getting my money's worth.
We sat down and waited to get the shit scared out of us. In the scary catagory, I was disappointed. SAW was not one of those moves that makes you jump or close your eyes. But the title didn't say "SCARY KILLER", it said SAW. That means gore, not scares. And the movie lives up to its title.
The plot is that there are two men that wake up to find they are in a room in some building chained to pipes on the opposite corners of the room. (This is very complicated plot, so I'll only give you the just, but you probly wont understand, but thats ok.) Anyway, they find out that one has to kill the other one to be let go by their captor (an unknown man called Jigsaw). He tells them (indirectly) that they can let themselves go by cutting through their legs with the saw he gives them (the saw doesnt cut through the chains). So one of the guys tells the other clueless one everything he knows about other murders this killer has done.
I loved it. It is semi-realistic, but its a movie, get over it. There are many parts that at some point you think, "wow, they messed up with that because it doesnt fit" but in the end, you'll see it does. This is a great horror movie because it has a twist ending that everyone is sure to love. Come for the suspence, stay for the immaginative deaths and strange plot twists.
I do hereby dub this movie 8/10!
