Advantages: Gore and horror with gripping suspense throughout, a movie full to the brim of twists and turns. Very compelling.
Disadvantages: Being pedantic the acting isn't the greatest. Nothing outstanding, but its a horror movie and you watch it for the gore.

...a lot of people comparing Saw to Seven. I've never liked comparing a new film to another as a way of categorising or rating it. Firstly, the film used as the comparison is usually a good film that a lot of people know and like so you're already setting the bar high for the new film. But the worst thing about such comparisons is that they are inevitably misleading. Yes, there are similarities between Saw and Seven but they are tenuous and on the whole ... Read review

Advantages: theories
Disadvantages: none

Two men wake up in the middle of a dirty, old bathroom to find themselves chained up to toilets unknowing that it is the layer of the serial killer known as 'jigsaw.' As they sit there trying to figure how to get out they realise that 'Jigsaw' doesn't want to kill them he wants them to kill each other, and to state the obvious they are having trust issues as they have no idea how they got there or what they did the day/ night before. As the case is ... Read review

...and imagination these days, but Saw has both of these qualities, and more. The film begins with two men (Adam, and Dr Gorden) waking up in a dark dingy bathroom and they find themselves chained to opposite ends of the room by their feet. There is a dead body in the middle of the room, and in one of his hands is a tape player. Each of the men find tapes in their pockets and they play them to find out what they must do to escape the room alive. ... Read review

Advantages: Good suspense - Plot Twists Excellent
Disadvantages: I should have seen it coming

This film starts in a dingey room with two men chained to opposite ends, each wondering why the other is where they are. Then the plot begins to kick in - It's a game that they have to play to see who is the strongest psychologically. Over the course of the film the lead characters begin to learn about why they are in the predicament in which they find themselves. The person holding them informs them that unless they escape, there will be certain ... Read review

Advantages: A horror movie that makes you think!!
Disadvantages: none

Now, I must admit I like the slasher movies that involve the psycho who hacks over-sexed teens to bits and just won't die, but I really enjoyed this film. With a title so basic, you won't believe how complex it is. You already know things are bad when the movie begins. And teh movies depends a lot upon flashbacks, which I personally enjoy. It makes you have to put the story together. The two main characters/victims are opposites-a well-respected ... Read review

Advantages: Very Twisting Plot
Disadvantages: Could be Confusing, Below-Average Acting, Disturbing

This film is confusing from the start, and you don't really know what is going on until the very last few minutes of the film, and even then you might need to watch it again. Many viewers will be tempted to switch off their film half way through, but I would urge them not to, the ending is worth the wait. This film is very gory and is certainly not suitable for the sqeamish. The plot is very compelling due to the multiple twists and so on, however ... Read review
