Hands down one of the best and freakish horrors I've seen. I love the Saw movies and recently found out about Saw 7 coming out....Wahoo! !!!

This movie in a nut she'll is about one very twisted but highly intelligent man who wants to in a macabre way teach people to value, respect and enjoy life in the best way possible. Don't get me wrong this guy's a total whack job...but I will admit I can't help but admire him in many ways.
The Horror factor is awesome; it's gruesome, believable and realistic...as you watch you literally fell your heart rate increasing.
What I liked was not like other horrors the characters were intelligent to an extent and actually did what I think a lot if us would do if put in the same situations these people were.
The actors were very very good...good casting. The story flowed well and had plenty if scare factor moments. It had twists which you wouldn't normally expect in a horror and it played with your head a bit like a physiological thriller would.
I wouldn't recommend this to the faint hearted as it definitely has very graphic horror scenes but I love them and this was just anot her reason why I love this movie and it's squels that soon followed.
Don't watch alone! Horror lover or not...it will have you checking over your shoulder and is more enjoyable watching with another person as I tell you what it will give you conversations for days after.

Arguably one of the best suspense thrillers that you will ever see. You are taken along a journey and you are just not sure what is going to happen next. Two strangers wake in a room chained with a note saying you need to cut of your limb to survive. Between the two they peice together the puzzle and figure out what is really going on.

Forget about the horrible sequels this is what a true horror is made of. It is not a slasher film of sorts instead you do see the mind of a true mad man who is on deaths door and has nothing left to loose. Instead he (kindly) tries to teach people lessons about how important life really is, by setting life or death tasks. Will you fight to survive or will you succumb to death.

I love this movie and have watched a few times. It does have its slow periods but makes up for it in the end. I just don't get why no one questioned who the body in the middle of the floor was - the first thing I thought. I am not sure if I would cut of my limbs to save my family as it must be a terrible experience. Hollywood needs to take note when next making a horror, and not by doing crap sequels.
