Review of Saw

Saw (2004)
8/10
Like "Cube" in a grimy washroom.
16 February 2005
Wake up in the grimiest washroom with your leg chained. A deranged psycho is about to teach "ungrateful" people a painful and fatal lesson. Very diabolical and sick. Very entertaining.

The acting is a tad weak in some parts but generally much better than most first-time actors. Adam's acting was emotionally believable when he was yelling at Dr. Gordon about the foot, and the toilet scene was hilarious. This is really good horror film with many unexpected twists. Great first try by Wan and Whannel.

The plot thickens right from the beginning. There is no slack in the story, despite a few weak holes. There's plenty of scenes that'll make some viewers cringe and gag. The Director's commentary on the DVD is funny enough by itself, and worth listening to. Whannel's BBC impression is very funny.
