Saw (DVD) Reviews

FILM ONLY REVIEW Adam (Leigh Whannell ) and Dr. Lawrence Gordon (Carl Elwes ) wake up in a basement toilet block. Shackled by the ankle to the ancient pipe work at either end of the room, a body lying in a pool of blood separates the two men. They have no idea how they got there nor, at first, know why. It soon becomes clear, ...  Read the complete review

This is the orignal release of the long Saw series, now with 6 films to its name. It has very low profile and unknown actors but has one which has grown through the Saw films and is now widely known across the world. Tobin Bell. This film is simply based in a bathroom in a secret location. men (Leigh Whannell, Cary Elwes) wake up, both chained to ...  Read the complete review

I remember vividly the first time I watched this horror film in 2004. Two men, apparently not linked together in any way, wake up in an old public toilet chained to pipes. A dead body lies in the middle of the room, and slowly it unravels that they have been placed there, under surveilance, to take part in a horrific game. The game will test how ...  Read the complete review

Saw is a rather grusome horror film that certainly has a high shock value to it and it does make for a rather uncomfortable viewing experience. For a horror film the plot is pretty good with lots of twists to it. Cast List Leigh Wannell - Adam Cary Elwes - Dr Lawrence Gordon Danny Glover - Detective David Trapp ...  Read the complete review

Ok so I am a big horror movie fan. I saw the trailers for saw and though it looked interesting, so decided to go to the cinema to watch it (few years ago when it first came out). I loved every minute of it. I am not particularly big on violence, films like hostel etc I find tedious and pointless with all the unnecessary gore. However ...  Read the complete review

James Wan directs this horror movie SAW. The film centres on two men who wake up in a disgusting bathroom tied up. In front of them is Jigsaw played by Tobin Bell who has put them in a position where they have to beg for their lives through a series of gruesome games. Along the way we found out how the men got here and find out that one ...  Read the complete review

He's been pretty disgusted with my general lack of film knowledge, and has taken it upon himself to show me loads of his favourite films, one of which is Saw Plot ----- Two men, Adam Faulkner and Dr Lawrence Gordon wake up to find ...  Read the complete review

Saw is the first in what has become an ongoing franchise with new sequels released every year around Halloween. Saw 6 in fact is just about to be released and though claims to bring the story full circle, will no doubt lead into the release of Saw 7 around this time next year.... The film opens with Adam and Lawerence who awake in ...  Read the complete review

Im a big fan of horror films and when i saw the trailor for this film i just had to go to the cinema to watch it, and it didnt let me down! The film is based on random people being selected for sick games in which you either die or survive, most of the time it ends in blood thirsty deaths. From the offset the games have begun, with ...  Read the complete review

Saw is a psychological horror film unlike any other film of its type that I have come across. The main killer (should we call him that?), Jigsaw, likes to play games with his victims. He is dying from cancer and tried to kill himself but failed, so spends his last days teaching people who dont appreciate life a lesson. He doesnt kill anyone, he ...  Read the complete review

Saw (film only review) Details: Director: James Wan Release Date: 1 October 2004 Certification: 18 (UK) Runtime: 103 mins The first of 5 Saw films. Saw came out in 2004, and I don't think anybody knew just how big it was going to get. The problem with the Saw series, is that you have to have watched all of ...  Read the complete review

Classified as "horror", i found the first Saw film not exactly that- it was insightful, intresting, strange and gripping. The picture of the foot on the front of the 2005 DVD links to a key part of the film; where the two characters Adam Faulkner (Leigh Wannell- one of the Saw creators) and Dr. Lawerence Gordon (Cary Elwes) ...  Read the complete review

This is a very good psychological horror. The first movie of so far 5 movies that all link together. As a quick overview all 5 stories take place around the same period of time while a hunt is on for a serial killer known as, The Jigsaw. The Jigsaw takes people who are abusing life, and clearly do not value life and puts them in a game where they ...  Read the complete review

Saw marks the beginning of what has become an increasingly out of control horror franchise about a sadistic serial killer named Jigsaw, his calling card being a small jigsaw puzzle piece shaped section of skin surgically removed from each victim. A shadowy and illusive character, only talking through an incredibly creepy puppet called Billy, ...  Read the complete review

Saw was released five years ago in 2004 and is my second favourite (to Saw 2) of the collection. The movie is very gory and gritty and starts off with Dr. Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes) and Adam Faulkner Stanheight (Leigh Whannell) waking up in a ruined bathroom. They are tied up and the main plot of the movie is them trying to escape ...  Read the complete review

Saw is my favorite horror film of all time, well, that, or Saw 2,3,4 or 5! What is saw? Saw is a horror film about "the jigsaw" killer, who abducts his victims who he feels do not value or deserve their lives. Then he sets up "a game" with them, which leaves them fighting for their lives! In this saw film, the ...  Read the complete review

This is 1 of my favourite horror films. this is the original one, which came out in 2004. Saw 5 was released on dvd a few months ago, and although I like them all this is the original and best. So what is the film about? A man called Adam wakes up and finds himself in a bath full of water. Confused and not sure where he is he ...  Read the complete review

Saw is not your average horror film by any means - it's not full of pointless gore, bloodbaths and violence. While gore, bloodbaths and violence are all prominent, none of it is in the slighest bit pointless because each and every aspect of the film is relevant, fitting together at the end perfectly like a jigsaw - (excuse the ...  Read the complete review

When Saw was first released at the cinema, I was four years too young to see it, although did think it looked good so decided to purchase the boxset on DVD upon it's release. I know that many people see this film as not one of the greats but I must disagree. I actually thought this was a very good film which seemed to contain a ...  Read the complete review
