MOST AWSOME MOVIE FOR 2004 AND 2005 SO FAR.
The movie had some nice surprises, but mostly was pretty lame. I hate when characters don`t just shoot the bad guy during one of the 50 chances they get. Also the key in the bathtub thing was dumb because had the key not gone down the drain Adam would have found it immediately and freed himself.
I`ve always loved watching thriller movies and this was top notch!! It made you think while watching and the ending was SOOOO GOOD!!! I can`t wait till the sequel is out!!
If it was possible , 3 thumbs up
it rocked...
I loved the movie saw. It was a real thriller.I liked everything about it, even Leigh Whannell. He is so fricken hott! This one goes out to my brother who loves saw 2! Peace bro! I luv ya a lot ur my best friend! Saw is the best and only horror movie I`ll ever watched more than once I luv ya Leigh!
I`d give it a 4/5. The acting sucked, but the rest of the movie was awesome! Lots of pain and suffering. I like that. I`m probably not /suppose/ to like it, but I just did!
a plot with MANY twists and turns - gotta see it ALL to appreasciate it
I think that this movie was the hottest movie i have ever seen, out of all of the other horror movies. I bought it for $25.00 and really loved it a lot...I think that there should be saw 2 ok im sorry this movie made me cry because it was also really sad and fun too ...THANKS FOR MAKING THIS WONDERFUL MOVIE, SAW!!!!!!!!!
i think it was realy good and leigh whannell is reali nice lol but i would deffently give the movie 10/10 it is pure guineus!!
im 12 and have seen 77 horror movies and this is my 2nd fav
I was a bit hesitant to watch this movie because I`m not a big fan of horror films. I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. I loved the plot, and it causes you to reflect and appreciate the things you have. Although I thought that the acting of the doctor was a bit iffy, it scared me to see how insane he became. I loved this movie, and I would highly recommend it for others.
Suspenseful plot twists/idea, 10...screenplay, 2...production audio, 2...ending collage, 1. Sorry it`s very weak and suggests that maybe the budget was small, or perhaps a more seasoned director could not be found. Overall production style, visually, was appropriate but far from creatively original. WEll, at least someone made enough to pay off the film school loans or buy a new car. The luscious plot hung there like ripe fruit left to rot on the tree.
saw is the best thriller i`ve ever seen. its absolutely brilliant and it left me and my friends literally speechless. the details in the movie blow your mind!
Confusing at best. The relationship between the cop and the killer was not fully explained
What A Great Movie !!!! Best Movie I Have Seen ...
i loved saw. it is my favourite movie ever;i watch it everyday. they did an awesome job on the movie, and i cant wait till a second one comes out!! savanah<3
I thought this movie was very well portrayed as a suspense/thriller. It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the film and I would highly recommend it.
I thought it was a fascinating storyline, but too gory for my taste. Made me sick to my stomach.
This movie was one of just a handful that I didn`t understand what happend in the end. I`m still confused, and I hate that. Maybe, I need to watch it a second time.
I`m neither agaist or for horror flicks and especially not fond of horrors that are all gore. This movie was not what I expected which was gore filled. The movie was good. Not too much gore. A very good story line. Well written and thought out. Well acted and suspenseful. At the end you can appreciate where the bad guy is coming from (if he is truly THE bad guy in the movie). The writer really had a good grasp of the human condition. We don`t appreciate what we have till its gone. I give this a 2 thumbs up. A good horror flick these days is hard to find.
The Saw has now joined the elite list of movies that make up my favorites of all time! It was the ultimate in freaky...psychologically chilling...and I will watch it over and over! It has to be one of the BEST in suspense-filled films! I`m really looking forward to The Saw 2! I can`t wait!
What a wicked and twisted ending! I love it! It has the "Six Senses" ending effect to it. You better watch it man!
It was intriging. Had a lot of unanswered questions though. Not as scary as I thought it would be. Awesome twist ending. That was the best part of the whole movie!
Great movie
I watched 20, maybe 30 minutes of this movie and I had had enough. This movie was just an excuse for some sadistic moron to make some money off other sadistic movie-going morons.
This is the best scary movie that i`ve ever seen. the night after i watched it, i was acually afraid to fall asleep!
Pretty good movie, kept my attention throughout with a good ending. For all those who say its unrealistic, name a movie that doesn`t have some unrealistic aspect. If every movie could feel every hole then you all would complain it was way to long, just a bunch of negative movie watchers who whine on everything they can. If you think some of this doesn`t happen, looks like you better start studying some criminology or become a cop. I have saw people cut in pieces so it happens.
great movie...one of my all time favorites
Great idea for a horror film, but poorly played out. Acting was just average. Too much chatting & flashbacks between Adam & Dr. Gordon. Would have liked to see more victims & more intricate "mousetraps". The killer`s creations for these victims were amazing & great. The locations & sets were eerie & great too. Loved the very tense & nailbiting "reverse bear trap" scene, but would have be scarier, if we didn`t know at first that she lived thru it. All & all, a good scary movie. Makes you wonder what you would do. I kept yelling at Dr. Gordon & Adam, for wasting time talking about thier family & feelings. I also had a feeling early on,
really liked it!! really good!! and leigh`s hott!
sick sick sick!! if you are into self mutalation...then this is the movie for you. This movie was wellworth the money to see!!
Without A Doubt...Amazing!! Well Done!
Absolutely ridiculous movie. Worst acting I have seen in a long time.
I thought this was a truly wicked movie, sick as hell and left me wanting more. Defently worth a watch, and not for the weak minded. Original and smart, keeps you guessing till the last scene.
acting was TERRIBLE!
They could have chosen better actors. I was not impressed with the actors--the two lead characters were more like just reading the lines.
From the growing discovery of who Jigsaw is, to the realization that Jigzaw does not know what the actor knows after Jigsaw tells him what he tells him, to building creshshendo of the music, to the actor`s realization of what his plight is....the ending is fantastic. I watched the ending 10 times.
The worst and sickest movie I`ve seen since Seven, just as predictable and clearly made for people with no own opinion or brain. The idea and plot are stolen from the Cube and Seven, only with even more holes in it. Nothing in this movie was a surprise or even remotely scary, just sick.
It was alright. A bit freaky and disturbing at times but for worth watching. The acting wasnt that good and it became really distracting considering the fact that the characters were put in live or die situations, yet the actors couldnt pull it off. Se7en was more disturbing, because it was more realistic and gruesome. The best part of the film is that it kept you guessing all the way till the end..
OMG it was sooooo wicked!! such a good ending!! it was so well set out and it went with the flow! apart from the bits that kept u on the end of ur seat! i loved it!!!!!!!!!!
BEST ENDING EVER!!!! This movie gets straight to the point. VERY UNEXPECTED ENDING.
Wow. Haven`t seen a movie this scary with a decent storyline for a long time! After just watching The grudge, I expected this to have no plot whatsoever. I was so surprised! Had a "seven" feel with a great ending. I was scared out of my mind. A very underrated movie in my opinion, I guess I don`t remember this movie to get much hype. Very scary and thrilling!
I really enjoyed this movie. Not your conventional horror flick.
BEST ENDING I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!
Really good twist at the end of the movie. This movie really gets you thinking. Very well planned killer.
The only thing that would have made the movie better, I think, is more gore. I say show the razor wire, show the gut digging, show the sawing. Aside from that, I don`t see much room for improvement.
"saw" intiguing, clever, good acting, and very suspensful at every turn. I thought i was going to die......trying to figure it out!
I love this movie!! I saw it with a friend and It was ausome!! I`m 14 and I bought this movie because it was so good. Thats what everyone talks about at school "Have you seen SAW?? Wasnt it cool??" I recomend this movie to every1!!
actually have a main plot, instead of just messing around with modern scary techniques of loud sound, visual effects, etc. extremely good movie and very original.
