[slash]

[Trickster]

Went to see SAW last week - what an awesome movie - really scary !! - Best horror flick I have seen in ages.... That doll/puppet in the wheelchair is really creepy !!!!

[horrorqueen7]

I just saw the preview for it the other night. Looks very scary!!!!

[nima_baniamer]

yeh it's the best film i've seen this year!
But what puzzled me the most was the bit where the doll wa son the bike....how did the doll move? Was the killer moving the bike and how come we didnt see him/her?

(i'm saying him/her so i don't give away who's the killer!)

[totempoll]

is it very gory?

[MichaelFan_Nr1]

I want to get a hold of the NC-17 version, not the R version!

[Evil Never Dies]

Brilliant movie!

Review- Didn't know what to expect as i didn't know much about the storyline to this movie.However in saying that i did enjoy the movie.A couple of the killings are graphic but that didn't spoil it for me.They say if you liked Seven then you will like this movie.I prefered this movie to Seven as i thought it had a better storyline.Danny Glover role as the detective is ok also.Personally i would say it's a pretty clever movie.

cheers

Here's a quick review i wrote about "SAW" in another thread.

[Refuse]

I think it looks good and will watch it when it comes out on dvd

[halo thirty one]

i had a chance to see this tonight at a free sneak preview. i thought it was pretty good, whith a couple of really suspsenseful scenes in it, one involving a camera and another with a closet. i won't go into further details because i don't want to spoil it for anyone else. i think comparisons to seven are going to happen and i don't think saw was as good. still, anyone looking for some chills at the theater this halloween should check it out.

[GoldenGreen]

I enjoyed the movie.

Interesting debut movie from writer and star, Leigh Whannell who plays Adam.

Some clever stuff, and kept me guessing.

Can't really say much without giving things away, but go see it !

[LoomisFan4Life]

Yeah this move looks kinda new age Texas Chainsaw Massacre-ish!!!!

[Deadpool]

The last 15 minutes or so of this movie is possibly the most intense 15 minutes I've seen in a movie theater.

[-TRANCE-]

I liked it also. Nice twists and turns and a few surprises that catch you off guard, I did perhaps think the movie suffered from a few plot holes that i can't explain into detail cause it will spoil. Also some very decent trailers were attached to the SAW prints including The Devils Rejects which looks to be the sequel to House of 1000 corpses. also White Noise new upcoming Mystery/Thriller with Michael Keaton looks very good.

[HannibalBEATNGU]

I saw it Friday night; extremely intense. It's loaded with suspense and it's disturbing as all hell.
I read a somewhat spoilerish review a few days ago that let me in on one of the films bigger secrets, and I did have another part kind of figured out because of that, but the way the story pieces together at the end is still very cleverly done.
The extremely fast editing style and hard rock music that plays over the sequences depicting what happened to Jigsaw's victims kind of bothered me at first, but after thinking about it, it does fit. It depicts the inner-workings of the victims minds during Jigsaw's treachorous "games". They have a small period of time to accomplish a nigh impossible task or else they're going to die a horrible death. A million different things would be running through your head at once in a situation like that and it'd be too loud in your head to think straight.
Overall it's a very effective, quite often shocking and jaw-dropping film.

[zombie commando]

Don't buy into all the hype. I mean this movie has some genuinely edge of your seat moments, but it also full of some laughablely terrible acting and some HUGE plot holes. I don't want to ruin anything, but I will say this movie 'cheats' in order to misdirect.

[zombie commando]

Alright, I am going to assume that everyone in this thread has already seen the movie......so here are some GAPING pot holes I noticed when watching this movie.........

SPOILERS.....IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS MOVIE DON'T READ THIS SHIT!!!!













Alright, who took the picture of the hospital orderly in the doctor's house that was found in the plastic bag with the pipe saws in it? You know, the one in the toilet. It couldn't of been the Jigsaw killer, and it couldn't of been Adam whom was chained to the wall........so who the hell took those pictures?

My second question........why did the hospital orderly check Doctor Stewart's wife and daughter's heart beats when they were chained up if he wasn't the deranged killer? I felt that was a MAJOR cheat on the film makers part. It really doesn't make any sense for that guy to act in that way.........

How did Stewart and Adam not notice Jigsaw breathing when he was pretending to be dead? How did they NOT notice the remote control?

The Jigsaw killer was in a coma right? Well how did he find the strength to be able to run around and perform all these acts when he was OBVIOUSLY down for the count in the begining of the movie?

Would you go and start killing people if someone left you a tape saying that you had been injected with a dose of slow acting poison? I mean seriously, that was a little far fetched to me........

I felt all these plot holes coupled with the bad acting really held this movie back on certain levels. Don't get me wrong, it had some great edge of your seat scenes.....but it also tried so hard to mislead people that it sacrificed a bundle of realism.

2.5 out of 3

[Franchise]

Zombie, I think the Jigsaw Killer established early on that the person in the room with the both of them was dead. That could be the only way he got the people in the room to believe it. There was a gun and a huge puddle of blood and a head wound.

I asked everyone that I went with who took that picture too. It could have been 1 of 2 things. 1 is impossible so I'll go with #2. Adam took the picture the day before while the orderly was casing the place. But, that wouldn't be right either. The orderly was only dosed that day. The other possibility (the impossible) is that the ex-cop took the shot. But, how then did the picture get there? It couldn't have.

The only reason for the guy to check their heartbeats would be if they had to survive for the game to end for him. They were basically innocent bystanders in the whole process. Other than that, I wouldn't know.

My question is this: The killer was cancer riden. Who carried the fat man down to the razorwire trap? Who did the tough work? It couldn't have been him. He could have had another person with him, but it's highly doubtful.

All in all, I enjoyed the movie even though I had to suspend the belief for that final 15 minutes or so. I was pretty excited about the movie coming into it and left feeling a bit relieved that it actually lived up to what I wanted. As an interesting side story, I was in a theater that had technical difficulties. The first 20 minutes was smooth, but then it went back to the ads and stayed like that for a few minutes and did that off and on for the next 15 minutes or so. A LOT of people walked out.

[zombie commando]

I enjoyed the movie, but I don't believe it has been the 'greatest' thing to happend to horror in awhile like some people have been pimping it as. I felt that the poor acting, and the logic defiling circumstances meet during some scenes of the movie really brought it down.

If there is one thing I hate about new horror flicks.....it's the new use of sticking some 'nu-metal' bullshit into the soundtrack that completely throws off the mood of the movie, and destroys tension. I also felt that some of the spinning camera shots were really annoying and unneccessary.

Seven is a much more solid movie.......

Hell Haute Tension was FAR better than this movie as well.

That's why the heavy metal and fast zooming camera angles were used. It did serve a purpose.
That's my take on it at least.

[Phatmaster2k8]

For all the hype this movie had, it didn't even get close to what I was suppose to expect. The idea was great, the killer was great, the gore was great, the actors casted were great, the performance was lackluster at best.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie, but calling it "The Second Coming of Horror" and all this other good stuff is complete bullshit. I for one thought Jigsaw could be explained a lot better (maybe in sequel?) and the acting was just over the top. Cary Elwes who played Dr. Gordon tried WAY too hard at the end when his character snaps. Hell, he had me laughing my ass off when he started for the phone. Wasn't he the one who told Adam to take his shirt off earlier when he was reaching for something?

When Danny Glover is in a movie, I'm all for it. But his character was just pointless in this movie. I mean he is killed off by this little shit who you find out isn't the real killer! I started to feel real sorry for this movie by the end but then this movie totally redeems itself in the final minutes when we find out who the killer really is. Kudos to some great writing.

Still I can't help but wonder how the fuck Jigsaw layed flat on the ground for six hours and these two guys sat in a room and not once they saw him breathing. Yes I know, they were in a panic but still you would notice him breathing. This is a movie where I can't help but wonder if I will buy on DVD, here's hoping for some good extras. 3/5

[HannibalBEATNGU]

Insanity IS way over the top, that's what the people that say "i was laughing at the acting" don't seem to get.

[Mr.Garrett81]

I really enjoyed this movie. The twists had me guessing and the suspense was great. I do not see it as the second coming of horror but still a good flick nonetheless. The scene with the girl and the reversed beartrap really freaked me out.

Begin rant:

Okay for all those who laugh during a horror movie. SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! You laughing during a horror pic does not make me think that you are cool, not scared, or too hip to try and get into the movie! All it does is piss me off and make me wanna kick you in the ass!! If you wanna laugh at it do it when you rent the movie and watch it at home!! Do not spoil it for others!!

Maybe he was a bit crazy too?
And why did he wave to the camera in such a sinister way when the two men revealed it in the room?

I'm with you on that one. People were laughing when I was watching this flick as well, and all I could think about was how good it would feel to kick them in the teeth.

going along with the rant theme. what in world were two late teen/early twenty mothers thinking when they decided to bring their infant children into this movie? when i saw them come down the aisle with their strollers i just groaned because i knew what was about to happen. once the screaming and loud music started on screen the babies starting crying themselves. and who can blame them? they shouldn't have been there in the first place. this, in turn, casued an audience member to start yelling "get the damn kid out of the theater." and who could blame him? he payed hard earned money to see this movie. finally someone left the theater to tell management, who asked the mother's to leave. this initiated a round of applause from the rest of the crowd. the mothers should have known better than to bring their children into that movie. even though they aren't old enough to understand what is going on with the movie story wise, the violent sounds and images are enough to upset the babies. they either need to pay for a babysitter or not go to the movie all together.

[Mr.Garrett81]

halo thirty one that wouldve been my next rant. Thanks for doing it for me and thanx for the suppt zombie commando at least a few people out there know what im talking about.

[Trinityracinnut]

Hey Guys,
I saw this movie on opening night with my girlfriend who is a horror fanatic as well and we both agreed it was very well layed out and overall a good movie. The plot lines kept you guessing and so did the characters. I am going to agree with the kids in theaters part, I am 17 myself, but anyone in their right mind knows that the babies don't even know whats going on, so why bring them. I also hate when people kick my seat, I fixed that problem too. I had someone blasting my seat for the first 10 minutes of the movie, and I turned around to look at who it was, and low and behold it was a fubu clothed white kid who has no respect for other people. I simply asled him to stop, and when he laughed at me, I slammed my soda into his face. He got the management but because I had a cause for my action that moviegoers hate, he was forced to leave. People clapped for me and we even had the movie restarted just for us because of what happened.

[Mr.Garrett81]

Mad props to you Trinity!! You have done what we all always wanted to do!! Hats of bro!

Isnt it funny when you see white kids wearing FUBU! HAH!!!

[Trinityracinnut]

Much love Garrett- I hope to be a long time and contributing member to this board, long live halloween though lol

WTF. I would've slammed my soda in your face just for that. I gotta watch the first 10 minutes all over again? No way. :D

[Trinityracinnut]

eh? i was puzzled at first, then I was like, oh he liked what I did lol, sorry dumb moment

[EvilOnTwoLegs]

There is no excuse to bring an infant into a movie theater...ever. If they're too young to realize they're in a fucking movie theater, then they don't belong there. Some parents are just motherfuckin' stupid...and I want to destroy them.

[MyersFan927]

At least I'm not alone when it comes to the laughing. Today I saw this movie and a lady in her forties was laughing at the strangest parts, like when the doctor was sawing off his ankle and Adam was zapped. I wasn't pissed that she was laughing, just confused as to WHY. What is with these people?

Anyway, the movie was really suspensful and exciting. All of the death scenarios were so disturbing and the big twist in the end shocked me. In my opinion, Saw was a really clever movie and I can't wait to see it again. However, the acting is a bit poor and some things just don't add up or make much sense: for example, the doctor should have shot his chain to brake free instead of shooting Adam. The doctor and Adam should have dicussed into greater detail who the hell was lying on the floor the whole time. The doctor's wife should have just shot the orderly when she had the gun. When he grabbed it from her I was nearly screaming at the screen because she was so stupid. All in all I really enjoyed this movie and thought the filmmakers did a really good job in creating suspense. This was not a typical movie. It made you think and grabbed your attention from the very beginning.

Thank you Mike;) I only laughed at the end when Dr. Gordon snapped because it was so random. There wasn't once a hint of insanity going on with him, through out the movie he was pretty much calm and collective. But when he started to freak out and just had to laugh because it came out of the blue and the guy who played Gordon did a pretty poor acting job at the end. He played it way over the top. I mean come on, this guy who wasn't freaking out the whole movie just snaps, cuts his own foot off, and then crawls away as if he is going to save the world? HAHA I'm laughing again.

[Ravenheart]

I still haven't had a chance to see this one yet.Hopefully I'll get to it soon.

Talking about laughing at certain bits.I was talking to a friend of mine earlier he took his gf to see it last night.They both enjoyed it but he told me there was a guy a few rows down who started to piss himself laughing when after the girl has saved herself from the jaw trap.That puppet comes riding along on a tricycle
(i think its on a tricycle).He said it spoilt the atmosphere in the cinema.

Glad you liked it Vincent,it's a good movie

cheers

[complete]

I know it sounds bad, but me and my best mate were laughing (quietly of course!) at the doctor when he was hacking off his leg. We weren't laughing at the gore, but at the determination to get Zepp, by cutting off his own leg! I just found it so funny that he'd go that far to get the weasel.

Anyway, this movie was pretty good, until the ending. I thought it was so stupid having the killer in with them. Kinda ruined it for me at the end. And the fact that the key had been in the bath. But all in all, not a bad movie. 3/5.

[NCamp]

I finally saw this movie and I thought it was really good. Disturbing and twisted. Especially at the end. The twist at the end was epic. I didnt see it coming, I thought I had figured it out too easily with the orderly. Right off the bat when he was talking in the hospital. I said "Thats him", then it turned out like that and I was like WTF? That was too easy. Little did I know the guy was there the whole time. Sad at the end when he went to get help. You knew he wasnt going anywhere. It had a nice creep factor to it.

[Mr.Garrett81]

Well okay Ill give you the fact that the Pincess Bride Doctor wasn't up on his acting in that last scene when he went nuts and sawed off his leg, but i dont get why its funny to laugh at?

[Mr.Garrett81]

Do yall think that the doctor got away at the end or do you think that the killer got him in the end. I think the killer got em because he couldnt have gotten far with only one foot.

But that is the twist in the movie having Jigsaw in the room with them all the time personally it works well.As for the key in the bath i thought it was clever Jigsaw set it up this way so when Adam came round he would panic & the sudden movement would pull the plug out & the key would go down the plug hole.

I'm pretty sure the Doc would have bled to death,but Jigsaw being the sicko he is likes to see people suffer so maybe he would have just watched the Doctor die.

Agreed, Jigsaw would have just watched the doctor die because he hasn't actually killed anyone directly and is a complete sicko like you said. Dr. Gordon probably died before Jigsaw tracked him down anyway.

I still say that Adam could have survived at the end if he grabbed the orderly's gun in time to shoot Jigsaw and then shoot the train to break free. But then again, when you're under certain horrific situations your commen sense falters.

Why do you guys think Jigsaw did all of those terrible things? To teach people a lesson to value life and look at it in a different perspective if they make it out? Or do you think he just did it for kicks?

Well, fact is, there are two ways to "freak out"...one can slowly descend into madness, or one can just suddenly snap. Those who snap suddenly (some use the term "nervous breakdown") generally have a much better chance of full mental recovery...but also, their initial displays of madness are far more explicit and "over-the-top." Not much chance for Dr. Gordon to recover from what would have been "temporary insanity," after cutting off his own foot...but his actions (and the way Cary Elwes portrayed him) is not completely unrealistic for a man in a severe circumstance whose rational mind suddenly snaps.

Just a point I thought should be made.

[gerry d]

I would have to go with that reason because i'm sure Jigsaw says something about the guy in the barbed wire cage that prior to this he had slit his wrists & Jigsaw said something along the lines of if he really wanted to die he could just sit in the cage but if he really wanted to live he would have to escape through the barbed wire & out the hatch.

That is true, but in order for it to work in a movie they should of just had Gordon slowing become insane then just snapping and going crazy. It was almost totally random and had a lot of people in the theater laughing (another reason I couldn't help but laugh). But I see what your getting at and I agree.

[atomic dog]

i finally got the chance to see it today and i liked it. very weird and very well thought out.

[Cruel Intentions]

I'm going to see it when it comes out on DVD. Can't wait!

i'm not sure if i will add it to my dvd collection until i see what the extras are.

Hopefully some cool stuff like an unrated directors cut or perhaps some kickass deleted scenes.

Oh, there will probably be a lot of special features. Deleted scenes, alternate endings, commentary, featurettes, etc. As much as you can imagine. I expect a packed DVD to come out.

[EvilOnTwoLegs]

Yeah...the DVD's gonna have all kinds of shit on it, I'm sure...they'll probably have an Unrated DVD, as well as delected scenes, alternate endings (these kinds of movies always have alternate endings), production design featurettes, at least one commentary, a "making of" featurette...and who knows what else? But I'm sure that all the things I listed above will be included. If not, the distributors are stupid...and I don't think they are...they wanna cash in.

According to www.play.com the release date for SAW on dvd here in the UK is 28th Febuary

Thats nothing, you know that Ben Afflick Christmas Movie with Tony Sorpano? It came out 3 weeks ago in theaters and will be released on DVD in 3 weeks:rolleyes:

[posioned_flower]

i dont know if u've already answered this and i'm sorry if u have...but could someone please tell me what the actual move is about...i think i know from what i've gathered but i want to make sure if i'm right.....its a film i really want to see and i cant wait to see it when it comes out on dvd (not able to see it at that cinema)...

I went on the website to see if it told you on there but the site was creepy enough...was very odd!!! so didnt really find anything to tell me about anything.....

[Donnie Darko]

i went and watched this badboy earlier, it was excellent as i imagined it would be. i have no complaints about the movie, it was all i hoped for and then some. it was shot really well too, the color scheme of the movie caught my eye every few minutes, impressive to say the least. its been awhile since a movie of that genre that really strikes a nerve has been out, that ive seen anyways.

go see it.

[Maxvayne]

I really think we shouldn't jump the ship on the DVD. I doubt it will be having as much extras as we think we are. The uncut Saw only has a few shots of gore in it.

Movies of this type (suspense/thriller) traditionally have DVD releases packed with features. It's safe to assume that Saw will be no different.

Clearly you didn't know that here in England, weeks before The OC even finished showing Season One, it was already out on DVD, lol. I had to laugh so hard when my mate was trying to blag that the 'new' episodes on E4 were season 2. Fool that he was, he lost £20 to me in a bet!!! Haha.

Haha, that's exactly what everyone else thinks when I talk to them about The OC. I know it's still season 1 (and the season finale on tomorrow night on E4), cause I saw that the episode titles were still the same as the season 1 boxset. I think season 2 is starting in the new year.

SAW KICKED BUTT!Anyone who didn't 'get' this movie is brain-dead.This movie was full of twists &turns-like a demented pretzel.And the ending was totally a surprise.YEAH, the acting was second-rate,but it was still a few steps above the usual horror garbage being offered these days.Can you say 'Bride of Chucky'?anyone?I think a sequel would be retarded.but if there's money to be made...........

[Hall9ween]

I don't get why you are relating this to Bride Of Chucky, especially when the two films are totally different.

Like I have said before, this film was OK, it didn't deserve all the hype and the "sickest movie ever" advertising -- 'cause that's almost false advertisement.

As for the killer being in the room the whole time I found that to be terribly stupid, and opened the possibility for alot of errors in the movie, that may not be noticed until a second viewing.

[theevilisgone44]

Is this movie really any good? I haven't gotten excited about seeing it yet b/c many movies are just too PC these days (with exception to 'Cabin Fever' and a few others), and also b/c I figured it would be a let down. I can't think of the last time I saw a really good scary horror flick at the theater. Oh wait, yes I can, the 'Dawn' remake. It was campy and I liked it a lot, but hollywood tends to release too many campy horror films and too many PG-13 thrillers. Where have all the good times gone?:confused: :)

[EvilOnTwoLegs]

Well, I liked it...if that counts for anything. It didn't scare me...but then, movies never actually scare me. It surprised me a few times, and I thought it was entertaining as hell.

[John Tate]

no way. this movie will go down as a classic. its one of the best.

[MikeAudreyMyers]

I liked the movie, but I was hoping for a lil more.

[Ravenheart]

I finally got to see it recently.It wasn't bad but I think that all the hype killed it a little.It wasn't great but it wasn't complete crap either.When it comes out on DVD I might give it another look.

[MyersFan927]

When I see SAW on DVD I'll probably see more flaws in the movie and plain-out plotholes. It was exciting to watch the first time around but the second time is always a little different. Hopefully my opinions of the movie won't change drastically. SAW is not perfect, but is definitely worth watching, and all in all a pretty good and original movie. I'm glad it did so well in the box office. Only thing is, I don't believe a sequel should be made. A sequel is just unecessary - if you 've watched the movie you'll know what I mean.

[Donnie Darko]

im not really one to nitpick movies or anything, but the second time i seen it i didnt really catch myself wondering plotholes, that doesnt mean theyre not there though....

[Jeanette]

I really liked this movie. What an ENDING!!! The dude in the wheel chair freaked me out. I hate clowns :eek:

I will be buying this dvd :)

[myers maniac]

SAW is an awesome movie. My girlfriend and i sat three rows back in the theater. We didn't get up once. NOW THAT'S A MOVIE!

The ending opened up a whirlwind of opportunities for flaws in the movie, and I thought it was a bit stupid that the killer was in the room the entire time. Each to his own, but I definately do not "SUCK!" just because I'm not bummin' this movie like you are.

[Camp Blood]

i saw everything from a mile away, and it wasn't that scary either, they just dont make horror films like they used to

[shorty77]

i want 2 c it!!! can sum1 give an indept plot of it

[MichaelMyers]

This movie was great IMO. The ending was completely different. I can't wait to see the sequel.

True,I also didnt find it that scary at all..

[Chaosboy]

Two Words: Saw Sucked

[Miss Informed]

I saw this last night. Honestly, I did not really care all that much for it. It was decent and had a few jump scenes. But towards the ending it just went downhill. Hell, even the acting. I might buy it if I find it cheap one day. Otherwise I will just stick w/ the copy I have of it.

Next time keep your eyes open when you watch and you too will SUCK!!!!!

[boogeyman87]

I think I liked it. It had a nice opening and cut right to the chase which I love. It had clues, which I also love to see and think about how they pertain to the story. The doll was fucking scary to me in Adam's apartment, the laugh..dolls creep me out.

Zep was a giveaway right away for me because of talk about him on the board and I just figured. However, the ending and the true Jigsaw was awesome an satisfied me. The sadistic ways he found for people to kill themselves was cool, and yet hard to watch.

Barbwire cutting so far into the stomach causing stomach acids to leak out is just hard for me to picture without shivering. I felt for some of the characters, especially Adam and Danny Glover.

overall, this movie is a definant B+ and 7 stars out of 10.

I wish I could dumb down myself enough to ignore all the plot flaws and inconsistencies in this movie like you, but I can't. It's sad to see people compare movies that try to be scary to farcical movies like Bride Of Chucky. Have we really lowered our standards so much that movies that don't display totally laughable acting or tongue in cheek horror characters gets our blessing? Fuck that.

[FranchiseHatesMe]

I just bought the movie and watched it for the first time tonight.

I must say I am very un pleased with this flim everyone on the board was promoting it like it was God and it turned out to be kinda boring and stale to me. 2 people trapped in 1 room with 45 percent of the movie being flash backs pretty boring if you ask me. I did love the ending though I thought that was very fucking fresh that the bad guy wins that part was very fresh. Dumb thing is why didn't the dude that saw him getting up just blast the fucker away?

[FTL]

Fuck all you guys who says a dude can't laugh at random shit in a film. I'm that type of guy, though, I surprisingly didn't laugh at anything in this movie...the only thing that came out of nowhere and stroke me as hilarious was when Tapp was shooting his gun in the apartment and his clip emptied on him. "What the fuck?" lmao, I had to rewind that at least 5 times to see Danny Glover's fucking facial expression.

I would assume he had no clue what the hell was happening...after all, the fucker who was getting up had laid in front of him throughout the entire film as a bloody and stagnant corpse. Adam was in complete shock/confusion, that is why he didn't blast away...and when he decided to act on it, it was too late.

I agree with you on the ending with the bad guy getting away scot-free...very fresh. I love those endings -- when good doesn't always conquer evil and the bad comes out on top.

Overall, I was pretty satisfied with Saw. It reminded me of Seven and Cube for it's small dense location and puzzles -- but it had it's own thing going for itself...new, gritty and vicious.

As for the killer...if you guessed who was behind the entire thing before it was revealed, you a smart mother fucker. Einstein ain't even got shit on you...but it's time to go out and get a life, you mega fucking geek.

[demongenekiss]

I see a lot of posts on this movie of people saying,(why didnt the doctor try shooting his chain?).Well does anyone remember he only had a bullet until he cut off his foot and crawled over to the body in the middle of the room to get the gun.So there would be no need to shoot any chain,unless you are talking about Adam's chain?

There are bricks around he could have easily tooken the bricks and holded it in place and smashed the brick to the bullet and it would have gone off. Would of blown off some of his fingers and probably still not of tooken out the chain.

Ok i'm doing this from memory as i haven't bought this yet.

But did the Doctor not only put 1 bullett in the gun & he uses that bullett to shoot Adam?.So when Adam grabs the gun and points it at Jigsaw it doesn't matter because there is no bulletts in the gun but Adam didn't know that.

cheers

[Loomis_6times]

Wasent adam going for zeps gun to shoot Jigsaw? Not the one Dr. Gordon used to shoot adam...:D

That gun had to have been empty too. He shot that damn gun like 10 times and never reloaded once.

[JasonVoorhees13]

I just watched it tonight and was pretty dissappointed. That has to be one of the most absurd endings I've ever witnessed. How did that guy lay there the WHOLE time without moving at all? Not even a twitch or anything? BULLSHIT. The flashy parts and the gory parts distract you from what is really going on. In this case, absolutely nothing. BAH

[TheShape66]

I finally watched this for the first time last night, and damn what a cool ass movie!!!!!! I thought it was really good and I loved the twist at the end...I swear, I didn't see it coming. A definate must-add to the DVD collection

[Camp Blood]

they got another one :confused:

[Mojo]

So I just watched this for the first tme last night.

I don't really want to take a lot of time and write out a proper review, I think I can sun it up in a few words: it was ok. The direction was kind of pedestrian (seven was better by far) but the movie was enjoyable at least. And this is one film where I actually did not see the twist coming at all, and I enjoyed that. But on the whole it seemed kind of run-of-the-mill. Had it been a series of stories rather than just showing those others in flashback, I think it might have been more interesting.

Pretty nice little summary there Mojo. Pretty much just what I said the flash backs and shit where very annoying and took up a good part of the action and being stuck in 2 rooms is so whack. The twist at the end is what made it decent for me though atleast that was a good part.
