This has to be one of the best thought out movies in a looonnnnggg time. The ending was amazing and since they didn`t have much time to film it, I thought it was great!!!!!!!! One of the best psychological movies ever!!!!!!!!
My wife and I saw this movie at the cheap theatre. We both felt ripped off even though the movie only costed $2 each. All this movie will do is give some sick-oh ideas on how to kill someone. A total waste of time and money. TOTALLY SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
compelling....veri....just makes u wana curl up, hold ure head in ure hands, rock bak n forth and making small whining noises 2 ureself....soooooo freaky!
Nice bloodthirsty little beast of a movie. Leigh Whannell will improve on this though.
i thought it was great i love grousome movies like this one and im only 13 i want 2 c it again
For those who actually understand the Horror genre this was excellent. Stylistically claustraphobic, good gore but not over the top and a usually disappointing ending turned into a perfect ending. Good to see directors of horror continuing to break new ground.
Unpleasant and mindless thriller that will leave you feeling "ill". Not because of the film`s grotesque violence but because you just wasted 90 minutes of your life and you will never get it back.
BIt silly really, and the ending was bizarre! Could have been good, but didnt seem to have been thought through properly. A lame attempt at se7en. wouldnt bother with it again to be honest.
a good suspense movie. Kept me interested throughout.
enjoyed the acting actually! Quite suspenseful, I certainly did not pick the ending - a few confusing points- maybe I will see it again to try to work out those bits.
Horrably discusting and unrealistic
this was an aweosme movie! it was gory but it was fantastically done perfect for all those of us who love being scared nad screaming!
Unnecessary sadism in motion pictures! Not happy to see new violence ideas and dimensions!
I found it extremly sidistic & disturbing. One big mind warp from opening to closing scene.I love a good horror flic, but I would not class this as horror. A cross between Seven,& Silence of the Lambs....to the nth degree.
It was ok
A great thriller for a first time director; original and very suspenseful. Loved the surprise ending, however, the acting is lacking a little.
spine chilling thiller.Truly the best horror film i have seen so far.
Most original recycling of the genre since `Seven`. Keeping in touch with plot and characterisation of the leads whilst truely teasing the audience for all it was worth. Excellent.
An absolute thriller, suspense like no other hitchcock movie!
great kept you geussing till the end
truly pathetic attempt at movie making. This movie was simply a waste of 30 bucks.
man it was so cool, it never had a dull moment. I have finished watching it and am hooked on the movie, the story line and the plot was excellent
Awesome, awesome movie :) Keeps you in suspense through out the whole movie!! Everyone should go and see this movie!
The acting in the movie was so bad that everyone in the cinema started laughing at the climax....don`t waste your time or your money
It was a good movie, I liked it.
I can only ponder the deamons that must exist within the mind of someone who can conceive something as brutal as `Saw`. I feel... not so much humbled but, more in awe of the imagination. The ending did leave me somewhat satisfied, although the audience is left to guess at the absolute resolution of the charactors lives. Perhaps that is was was intended? I, however would have preferred...something a little more final. I do see alternate endings appearing on the DVD when it arrives, though. The film is directed by James Wan (an Australian, supprisingly), and stars Cary Elwes, Danny Glover, Monica Potter and Leigh Whannell (writer of the sc
it was a really good movie... I though the plot and ending was crazy... but the acting could have been better
I`m not sure why everyone said the ending was predictable, I never would have thought it up... =| Personally, I thought it was great... acting was somewhat dodgy and hilariously bad at times, but if they had better actors this movie would have been so much better.
AMAZING movie, makes you think about life, and the choices that you could have to make, I wonder what I would do if I was put in one of those situations.
Awesome movie. Really makes you think. I can`t wait for the DVD.
the only horrifing thing in this movie was the acting....save your money ...definately not worth it....
It was a pretty good movie and all suspense loves....a must see it.
This might be the best horror movie I have ever seen.It was so disturbing I was on edge for days after seeing it. It combines the twisted things from thrillers like Se7en with the popcorn scenes of a classic horror.I just don`t know if anything I see in the future can measure up to the visceral fear that I felt when I watched "Saw"...
I really enjoyed the movie so much I went to see it twice!
I thought that this movie was a great movie but they should`ve chosen better acters to play the role. i was available you know!!!
I would have given this movie negative a billion stars if I could. It was not scary, it was predictable, it was boring, it was poorly directed, it was poorly acted...it was definitely a waste of a perfectly good $14.
omg so disturbing, kept me on the edge of my seat!
The best part of this movie was the ending. I’ve seen many many movies in my time and the ending of this one just had me in awe. I’ve never seen a movie before where I experienced my mouth just dropping open at the end of it in the same manner as when I saw SAW. If you thought the ending to SEVEN or sixth sense was a shocker then you should be blown away by the ending of SAW. Overall, I was very pleased with SAW and hope that this will inspire others to create more jaw dropping movies like SAW.
This movie was definitely worth seeing. I thought it had a very interesting story line, and the actors portrayed their roles well, regardless of what anyone says. I honestly feel that those who feel the acting was poor were looking for the wrong things in this movie and just felt the need to criticize something. The acting wasn’t Oscar caliber (and it didn’t need to be since the subject matter was so twisted and compelling) but it wasn’t horrible. I was surprised that it wasn’t as gory or scary as I thought it would be, but that was ok because the movie moved at a good pace and kept me wanting more. However, the best part of this movie wa
Bad acting, for sure. Kept my attention, though. The scare factor is high, but the disgusting, gross factor higher. Good movie if you like that stuff.
