i be a big horror film buff and particularly of the 1980 subgenres . name one i have probably see it . last year and a new little horror movie that seem to slip under mainstream radar call saw be about to hit theater . i be moderately excite . have not hear anything about it and i think it look quite promise judging by the preview and poster ( well and except the back and white one with the severed hand and foot . those just look terrible . ) i saw the film on open night . it be one of the bad experience of my life . this movie be literally mentally and psychically painful to watch . because it be scary . no . because it be one of the most awful movie i have ever have the displeasure of see . first off and the construction of the screenplay and editing be utterly atrocious and even by horror movie standard . start off a sequence in an interrogation room with a victim ( shawnee smith ) who recently survive a serial killer attack and then show a flashback of what she survive . not scary . it be impossible to feel any type of tension whatsoever knowing that the aforementioned victim be perfectly alright . sure and that reverse bear trap thing be creepy . but why should i feel in the least bit frighten when clearly and you just show me she survive the ordeal . unfortunately and the entire film be construct this way . it start with two guy in a cellar . then and they show flashback of how they be abduct . not scary . why . because we already know what gon na happen to them and see a how we just saw the result of the attack . theyre fine . move on with the story . even more unfortunately and the actual story be meager at best . i couldn not have care less for these annoy and pitiful excuse for character and the act do not help . cary elwes be solid for the most part and then suddenly towards the end he start cry like a lose infant while strain to keep his american accent in tact ( it do not work the audience i saw this with be in stitch ) . this drive him to a rash and idiotic decision even the most simple mind wouldn not attempt . he have other option . good one . smarter one . even give his intense emotional state ( horribly communicate through horrible act ) and it be still irrational . i do not buy it . bad write alert . furthermore and even when certain sequence be play straight through and flashback free and they be painfully predictable . i constantly find my foot tap impatiently wait for the dumb sequence to end . this happen for the entire film . i saw every single twist come . twenty minute into the film and i have already call the killer identity and not to mention his connection to his accomplice ( s ) as soon a they appear on screen . well act might have be able to overshadow the awful script . instead and the actor might as well have have red herring or accomplice tattooed across their forehead . by the end of the movie and i be utterly outrage i have waste even a fragment of my life on this film and and the entire theatre be laugh hysterically at the downright horrendous finale . seriously and you would think they be watch a monty python movie . i would have be laugh too and have i not be so angered at the film total and utter failure to accomplish anything it set out to do . when we leave and there be ( no joke ) a line to speak to the manager of the theatre to get their money back ( do not happen ) . i be absolutely positive the movie be go to be a box office bomb . the following week and you couldn not have imagine my shock to find out saw have hit number one at the box office and everyone be talk about it ( mostly individual who find napoleon dynamite to be a thought provoking epic tale and think satire be some type of rubber ) . i be so utterly sicken to hear people praise this film that i often feel a though i be go to vomit . it entertainment for the most feeble and simple minded of the human race . those who find some weird jigsaw clown puppet rid on a tricycle threatening ( it a doll knock it over and leave what so frighten about that . ) . don not get me wrong and i own every friday the 13th and love my splatter movie and think napoleon dynamite be hilarious and can not get enough of freddy and michael and pinhead and or leatherface and have a font appreciation for unknown horror gem and rank sleepaway camp ii represent unhappy camper amongst my top 10 favorite slasher . however and i realize these film aren not the most sophisticated american cinema have to offer i appreciate them for what they be quick and easy fun . saw be cinematic garbage . the film attempt to be a smart and semi sophisticated and nasty little thrill ride and and bog down to an irritating and annoy waste of time and money and energy and and celluloid . atrocious on all account . every single copy should be incinerate and along with it feeble minded fan . shame on all of you . will i see saw ii . maybe after i take a double shot of liquid drano before i gouge out my own eye and impale white hot shish kabob brochettes into my ear and colon . my rating represent negative . avoid at all cost .
