Saw is a very chilling, cleverly crafted, and a deeply disturbing
movie which will grab your nerves and put them on the edge all throughout its running time. it’s a pulsating, psychological film which will play back on your mind for a long time…..
So imagine this; you wake up to find yourself in total darkness, you are in a room which must be something like a cell or bathroom because of the echo your voice makes when you shout for someone. You gain a response from someone across the room, that person turns on the light…..

Bang the movie (game) begins. Two men are facing each other at opposite ends of a small, dingy, vulgar room which appears to be a long time abandoned jail cell or something. Dr. Lawrence Gordon, ( a surgeon) is at one side of the room looking extremely pale and bruised, and on the other side of the room is Adam (a young male) who also looks pale. As they both try and walk forward they are stopped by two things, one; they both have one of their ankles chained up and two; what appears to be a dead man in the middle of the room sprawled out across the floor, with a gun in one hand and a tape player in the other hand…
As the movie progresses, we get to know each character and grow to possibly like them in their ways.


The two men as the film gets a little more involved, both find a tape in an envelope in their pockets. Adam receives just a tape but Dr Gordon receives a tape and a bullet.
They both listen to their tapes, as they hear a sick, muffled, psychopathic voice which gives them clues on how to get out of the situation they are in. Dr Gordon’s task is to kill Adam, by 6 o’clock on the clock in the room.
So as we delve even further into the film, the two men get extremely wound up and, start to go quite crazy in their assumptions as to why they are there. But all becomes clear as they start to remember the last thing they did.
In the Melee of all this happening in the room, elsewhere we get
more and more into the mind of the psychopath who has chained these two men up.


We see other people who have died because of this deranged weirdo, these people also had set tasks to fulfil or their fate is apparent. Ranging from a razor ripped body, to a jaw breaker. Throughout the film the lunatic keeps on saying “people are so ungrateful to be alive”. “The Jigsaw Killer” which is who is known as in the film because he leaves a jigsaw on his victims. Is not a murderer because in fact he doesn’t murder anyone. He just finds ways for his victims to kill themselves. This is probably the most disturbing pointer during the film. He does this to teach sick life lessons, so people are grateful to be alive….
So imagine this,; your in a cold, dark, repulsive room, with a person who has been set a challenge to kill you, so he can survive. But you are both chained at the feet with thick steel chains, so you cant move however you both have a saw each, there’s a dead body in the middle of both of you, your opposition has a bullet, the dead body has a gun. The times running out! What will you do?……

Live or die, Make your choice.
