Isn’t it funny….
How people can just arbitrarily say what constitutes good acting and bad acting? I’ve heard a great deal of people say this and that about Carey Elwes’ performance in this film. Most people say he overdid it. Well sorry to say this, but I highly doubt any of them have ever seen how someone would behave in that sort of situation. Overdoing it would be Jack Nicholson (Oscar winner)in the Shining. He’ll even admit it. I think these days people are looking for reasons to hate any movie that is marginaly original. Or even worse…when they see one, they get confused, then a little frightened and lash out at it. “That movie outsmarted me! How dare it!?” In this..the golden age of REMAKES, Saw was a brilliant whiff of originality. Sure, comparisons could be drawn to a bunch of other films…but at least it’s its own movie. No remake of the 1976 “classic” here.No fetch and borrow from some piece of Japanese crap either. Think about that when you go see The Ring2.(edit and rebuttal)Ok, I can see that some of the other reviewers failed to understand what I meant when I said that they don’t know how someone would act in the situation Cary Elwes’ character was in.While I admit I’ve never seen anyone who’s been locked in a subterrainian bathroom and held hostage while his family is being threatened….I do know how people act in situations where their families are threatened and they are powerless to do anything about it. I work in a hospital where people who’ve been in fairly bad trauma situations come. A recent example would be a pretty bad shooting spree in a church group meeting.Without going into details too much, the son/brother of a group of victims arrived at the hospital a while after the attack. He lost his father and younger brother. His mother was still in very critical condition. While this isn’t the same thing that happened to Cary in Saw, his reaction and behavior was almost the exact same thing. Held back tears, and the look of someone who could vomit at any second. I hate to get all depressing, but this is the best way I can think of to illustrate my point. I’ll agree that the other actors in the film may have given a sub standard performance, but Elwes did a fantastic job of portraying a helpless man whose family was in mortal danger.So while I’ve never been chased by robots with drills for gentials either, I do know the difference between ridiculus acting and a performance that is either misunderstood, or too real to be believed because its too unsettling. I think because the scenario and performance of the others in this film requires a certain suspension of disbelief, his all too realistic portrayal may have seemed out of place.

A Newer, Bolder, Inventive Franchise . . . .
Two men, Leigh Whannell and James Wan, obviously had a lot of time on their hands when creating the now breakthrough film that redefined what Horror really is; “Saw”.The story goes about when two strangers find themselves trapped in a mysterious room chained from the leg to the wall.Now, for a plot as simple as that, the creativity has room to grow and even to pulsate with ingenious gimmicks and clever plot twists.What I really enjoyed about this movie is the fact that it started out dark and began to open up more, almost like it was giving birth to the new creative side of franchise horror, introducing you to the new baddie that will take the place of Freddie Kruger, Jason Vorhees, and the Seven Killer. In fact, one would say that the tone of the movie has a slighly “Se7enish feel.”The good part is that that doesn’t take away from the excitement or the suspense. Along the way, the film educates you on the one holding them hostage and his method of killing. The Killer, apparently called Jigsaw, wants the victim’s to figure out the puzzles of the death game that he has created. There are several ways to escape but all of them are either preconceived or pre-thout out ahead of time in where the chances of survival and escaping are both on a very jagged plane.I’d say that this movie finally captures what every other director was trying to do with modern day Horror. I’ll go one step further and say that this movie Re-invented the Horror franchise. And, for a first try, debut film, these two filmakers really raise the bar higher than ever anticipated.I highly reccomend this film if you are a hardcore horror/thriller fan but also want the thinking that goes along with it, as with the Movie Seven.I saw this movie when it first came out around Halloween and let me tell you that this Franchise did something Newer, Bolder, and that they have invented a new Franchise for the Horror fans in need. You ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO WATCH THIS FILM!!!IT’S GREAT!!!!I GIVE IT TEN STARS!!!!!!

Worth the Full Price of Admission
This another extraordinary film that did not due too well during its theatrical release, but I highly recommend. However, this film is not for the squeamish.The film revolves around a serial killer who doesn’t kill people himself; but rather, places people in intricate situations which require difficult decisions to be made in order to stay alive.The victims selected are not the pillars of society. It’s this collection of individuals, which is the key to the whole plot of this film and eventually the identity of the killer. These people are throwing away the one true thing the killer cherishes, and that’s live itself. So they are forced to prove their right to life in an elaborate set of tests or die trying.I would categorize this film as a thriller; however, the killings do have a touch of gore to them. I love films that stretch the imagination and develop new and exotic ways to tell an age old story, and this film does just that.The film’s title is a foreshadowing of things to come from almost the beginning of the film. Two complete strangers Carey Elwes and Leigh Whannell wake up in a dark, and dingy bathroom only to find themselves chained by their legs to separate walls of the room. While rummaging around the room, a sack is found and in it are two hacksaws. The hacksaws are not strong enough to cut through the chains which are binding our main characters, what do you suppose the hacksaws are to be used?At the same time, Danny Glover plays a cop also searching for our mysterious killer, commonly referred to as Jigsaw because of these complex games he forces his victims to play.Again, the gruesome murder scenes almost elevate this film to a horror flick. However, the well told story line, elaborate plot, and the plot twist at the end; will leave you completely satisfied that you viewed this movie.[…]

SAW 4K UHD Review (Impressive Improvement over Blu-ray)
I spent my life watching horror movies and I was very impressed by Saw when I first saw it at the movie theater when it first came out. I had the Blu-ray but I was very disappointed with it so I sold it (something I rarely do). The Blu-ray suffered badly from print damages and had tiny flashing dots quite visible throughout the movie. It was a horrendous Blu-ray. I kept the DVD.I was a bit hesitant to order the 4K UHD edition because I was afraid they would do the same thing they did with the blu-ray and not clean up the picture. I was pleasantly suprised: 4K looks absolutely fantastic. Now you must keep in mind this movie is originally a grainy movie due to the way it was shot and the film stock used. It has a lot of dark scenes. Do not expect it to be crystal clear looking picture. You must evaluate it based on those facts (although I am sure some will complain about the grain). I also own Starship Troopers and Total Recall 4K UHD editions and those movies, in my opinion, didn’t improve much from their blu-ray editions (give or take a few scenes + Dolby Atmos). However, in the case of Saw, I think this is a tremendous improvement. They obviously cleaned up the print damages that were visible on the Blu-ray (now, I am referring to a very early edition Blu-ray, the one that first came out some 10 years ago, I think. If there have been subsequent editions which were better, I am not aware of).In summary: I give 2 thumbs up to Saw 4K UHD edition. Even the dark scenes are nicely contrasted, color saturation is perfect; and yes there is some grain but I like I said it is natural and inherent part of the film. This film will not look any better than this (and not sound any better than this). If you have Dolby Atmos speakers, you will enjoy the audio.I won’t review the movie itself other than to say it’s one of the most unique and clever horror movies and it works as a concept and executed stylishly.

How much blood would you shed to stay alive?
From those who liked Saw (2004) `A Cut Above the Rest’, `I Came, I Saw’, `See Saw’, `One Severed Thumb Up’, `What I Saw Was Good’, to those who didn’t, `(S)awful’, `Wish I Never Saw This’, `Saw Just Couldn’t Cut It’, `Saw It Coming’, it seems like many of the clever title variations have already been used, leaving me with…nothing (okay, it’s early and I was up late last night, so gimme a break)…co-written and directed by James Wan, the film stars Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride, Days of Thunder) and Leigh Whannell, who co-wrote the film with director Wan. Also appearing is Danny Glover (Grand Canyon, Gone Fishin’), Dina Meyer (Starship Troopers – she was the redhead who got topless in the group shower), Ken Leung (Vanilla Sky), Shawnee Smith, whom many may recognize from television’s Becker as the dumb as a brick character of Linda, and cute as a button Monica Potter (Along Came a Spider).The movie opens, oddly enough, in my bathroom, or, at least a very good facsimile…it’s dark, dank, slimy, dirty, gritty, moldy, and generally funkified, as my good friend Robbie Van Winkle used to say, to the extreme. As the florescent lights come to life, we see three men, two alive, one dead (I’m assuming this as he was laying face down on the icky tile in a pool of his own blood with a ginormous hole in the back of his head). The two remaining men, Dr. Lawrence Gordon (Elwes) and Adam (Whannell), find themselves not only wondering how they came to be in such a place, but why they are shackled by the ankle to large pipes, each at opposite ends of the room. Some answers are found on cassette tapes found in their respective pockets (the dead man in the middle of the room had a player) in that of a raspy voice and various clues that indicate the survival of the two men, among others, depends on their having to perform some unusual acts (two men in a bathroom performing unusual acts? No, this isn’t a George Michael video…). The question soon becomes one of what someone would be willing to do to stay alive, and the answers may shock you…The general opinion for Saw seems clearly divided, and I can see both sides…but I enjoyed this nasty little movie, for what it was…so many have already compared it to (or claimed it ripped off) the popular film Se7en, so it must be true, but I found myself likening the tone of the film to the ambiguously dark and disturbing videos released by the band Tool in the 90’s (I think they’re still performing, but with a slightly different line up). I think most agree the acting in Saw isn’t the best, Cary Elwes’ performance the most flawed, and there’s a good many plot holes, but I think the good outweighed the bad, and the end result was favorable. I was a little disappointed that Glover and Potter’s roles weren’t more substantial, but the upside was the story moved at a brisk pace. The movie had a really strong opening, and kept me interested throughout, although it did sort of peter out as it went along…I will say that not once did I look at the running time left to figure out how much more I had to sit through (I’ll do this often with films that bore me). Did I find the movie scary? Not really, but it was tense, unsettling, and definitely creepy. I like how things unfolded, as the audience starts out knowing exactly what the main characters do, which is very little, and then revelations present themselves, but even as we become more informed (more so than the main characters), what are we to believe? One or two of these elements were easy to discern as a means to throw us off (especially those regarding the identity of the mysterious Jigsaw killer, as he was named), but for the most part, I found myself second-guessing my theories. The sets for the film so clearly fit the dark nature of the material, especially the dilapidated bathroom where a majority of the story took place. My favorite scene involved Adam, learning from a clue that there may be something of use in the toilet, reaching into the thick, brown, water in the bowl…I dunno about you, but I would’ve checked the tank first, as I think most know the best place to hide something in a toilet would be the tank, and not the bowl… Dr, Gordon then asks, “Find anything?”, to which Adam replies, “Nothing solid…” Hee hee…he then realizes it’s the tank he should be looking in, and admonishes himself appropriately. No, this isn’t a comedy, but it does have a few humorous moments that were integrated nicely to enhance an overall sense of realism. I wouldn’t call this a straight up horror film, but more of a crime thriller with horror elements. The main element that really intrigued me was the idea of placing people in situations where they have the choice of doing nothing and dying, or doing something really dangerous and quite possibly lethal (to themselves or others) for the remote chance of surviving (You know, if the producers of that Fear Factor show had any cajones, they would more closely model their show on this concept…it’d be a ratings bonanza). In the end, looking at the film for what it is, an inexpensive (under 2 mil, I think), quickly shot (18 days), glossy initial outing, I’d say it turned out very well, and is worth checking out for a few thrills.The anamorphic widescreen print looks great, with matching audio. Special features include a short featurette titled `Sawed Off), rated and unrated version of the Cold Play video `Bite the Hand That Bleeds You’, trailers and TV spots, a poster gallery, a commentary track with Wan and Whannell, and a cool, transparent case with an artwork overlay.Cookieman108By the way, if you dug this cinematic nugget, be on the lookout for the sequel, aptly titled Saw II, coming sometime in 2005.

How much blood would you shed to stay alive?
Heck yeah! Finally, a mainstream horror movie that’s not afraid to be gritty. No campy, PG-13 family-friendly crap. No teenagers running around having sex and then getting hacked by a lumbering serial killer. Just 2 men locked in a dirty bathroom, cryptic clues left by a deranged killer, and a puppet. The beauty of this movie is in its simplicity. The entire film was shot in one building with an extremely low budget. The two main characters, a photographer named Adam and a surgeon named Lawrence, wake up one day to find themselves locked in a grimy bathroom, chained to pipes on opposite sides of the room. In between them, there is a dead body with a gun in one hand, a tape recorder in the other, and his brains blown out and pooling on the floor. From then on, the two men must work together to solve the puzzle the killer, Jigsaw, has left them, and get out of their situation alive. Jigsaw is a serial killer who uses “traps” to test his victims. His basic M.O. is that he puts them in situations, often with medieval-like torture devices, that will either kill them horribly, or leave them alive with permanent psychological and/or physical damage. Most of the time, these traps relate in some way to the person’s lifestyle. Jigsaw’s goal is to teach people to be grateful to be alive. There are many misconceptions people have about this movie. First of all, it’s not THAT gory. Yes, there is blood aplenty, and the traps Jigsaw sets for his victims(including a web of barbed wire a man must plow through, and a device hooked into a woman’s jaw that could potentially permanently rip her mouth open) are just sick. But most of the horror comes with the THOUGHT of how painful the traps are, and not necessarily what is shown on screen. The majority of the gorehounds I know say that this movie is pretty tame. Second of all, “Saw” is NOT torture porn. “Hostel” is torture porn. “Touristas” is torture porn. “Saw”, however, is not. You know why? The fact of the matter is…THERE IS NO PORN IN THIS MOVIE. Not even a boob or a buttcrack. THERE IS NO NUDITY. And heck, there isn’t really any “torture” either…not really. However, I’m not gonna lie and say this movie is flawless. This has a lot to do with the director’s lack of money, but that doesn’t account for everything. In fact, I can see why some people really don’t like this movie. There are a ton of plot holes and unanswered questions. There are quite a few hammy one-liners(“This is the most fun I’ve had without lubricant!”), and the acting in some places is hilariously abysmal(Like when Adam pretends to die). I understand how these could get in the way of enjoying the movie, but for me, they weren’t that big of a deal. All in all, this is one creepy and fascinating movie. The most enjoyable aspect of it is discovering more and more facts about the two main characters as the movie progresses, and discovering the connection they have while watching them learn to cope and work with each other. While not perfect, it’s certainly entertaining and worthwhile.

What do voyeurs see when they look into the mirror?
In a day, where many new age teen horror movies are being born. This is fresh air in dying lungs. The Grudge, the Ring and whatever pg-13 teeny horror trash flavor of the month is out lately; it can not hold a candle to the flame that has been the “Saw” franchise. I do enjoy this one slightly more than “Saw 2” simply because I really enjoyed the plot, two guys chained to the bathroom. There is the birth of the saw franchise. Leigh Whannel (Writer, Adam) and James Wan (Writer, Director) did a wonderful job, writing a horror movie that wore their influences on their sleeve yet showed their own present imagination. This movie (for better or worse in your opinion dear reader) shows prescence from such movies as Se7en and Cube (both films I enjoy) Another aspect I enjoy about this, is the atmosphere for which this film represents. It has a dark, grim and gritty atmosphere. The great select of which the scenes were shot at alongside the haunting musical composing of Charlie C. really help add to the darkness of this film. Even though, the plot has been discussed and picked at over again, I will do the same.The film begins with Adam, laying in a bathtub full of water, as he begins to wake up, the water drains from the tub and he pulls himself out. Only to find he has been chained in a bathroom with another man (Dr. Lawrence) and a dead man with a gun in one hand and a tape recorder in another. So begins Saw. Throughout this film, we watch as Adam and Dr. Lawrence slowly stumble upon the sad truth as to watch has been done to them (and what could happen to them if they don’t use their time wisely) and what could happen to their loved ones as well. As the story moves along Dr. Lawnrence is informed that his wife and child will be slain if he does not kill his new cellmate Adam. It is truly intense watching Dr. Lawrence slow spiral down the staircase of insanity as he finds of this outcome involving the murder of his wife and child. However, they do have help (unknowing to both sides) Detective David Tapp (Danny Glover) has become obsessed with the Jigsaw case and as time runs short for Adam and Lawrence, he quickly trys to come upon Jigsaw’s new plan. However, we also see numerous flashback scenes involving Jigsaw’s other “play things” Paul, Amanda and Mark. All whos outcome I will not spoil for you. In the end, it all comes down to one final gripping scene in which this all began. A dirty bathroom.This movie, means alot to me and is one of my all time favorites due to its message. It’s one I think anybody could relate to. We’re all human, we all have selfish moments in which we take for granted those we love, be it family, friends, signifigant other or whoever else. We all have extreme limits in which our body/mind will push ourselves to do extreme, violent and mind numbing acts to save ourselves and our loved ones. Many things in which we are rarely forced to do, due to the modern day society we live in. Jigsaw is a refreshing villian in a sense because he really isn’t one. While obviously he is doing disturbing evil things, its not for the sake of doing disturing evil things. In fact their is a quote he made from Saw 2.”John: Seems to me that the knowledge of your sons impending death is causing you to act… Why is that we’re only willing to do that, when a life is at stake?Eric Matthews: I’ve always loved my son, it has never changedJohn: No… no… It’s changed now. You see, the knowledge of death… changes everything. If I were to tell you the exact date and time of your death… it would shatter everything.This sums up the Saw franchise very well. The knowledge of changeable pending death and our ability (or those which don’t have it in some cases) to dig deep and do what has to be done to live another day. This is a unique and horror franchise and this is where it all started. Enjoy.
