Saw

[Jebus]

Special Thursday night showing of the Saw was shown tonight, so I decided to go. Oh man do I now wish I stayed home...I still feel sick.

Basically the movie really isn't THAT scary. The story is pretty bad, but I don't want to reveal anything [for those interested], but there are a lot of twists. There are a lot of "open the door...BOO!" type scenes. But overall, I only jumped a few times but I was never holding the armrest in fear.

INSTEAD, I was holding my stomach. I wouldn't call this a slasher, its too realistic. I'd call it an over-the-top turture film. Blood and gore in almost every scene...and its all EXTREMEMLY graphic. Don't even get me started on the last 20 minutes or so...people where leaving in numbers because they couldn't take it. Not like they didn't leave during the movie though, 9/10 of the girls were gone before the first hour was up.

Oh yeah, and to top it all off, there's a "nice" torture scene that involves a child...it was extremely disturbing.

But in regard to Halloween movies...perfect...you see this movie and you might not want to go to sleep. Not because you were scared, but because you don't want graphic images of people getting brutalling tortured in your mind. Not to mention a sadistic clown riding a bicycle...*shivers*

I'm fascinated by that terrible jaw contraption, I must say.

Yes, everyone heed this warning - good or bad, this movie is for people who can stomach A LOT - it's extremely gory, worse than the Passion of the Christ, and is not recommended for anyone but horror fans who know what they're getting into. Be wary.

I'm seeing it tonight, and plan on "enjoying" it.

I'm just weird like that, even though it disturbs me to no end.

It's good to feel not totally desensitized to EVERYTHING.

:/ i've been waiting for months to see it. but b/c of this....

Oh yeah, and to top it all off, there's a "nice" torture scene that involves a child...it was extremely disturbing.

.....i dont know if i can. that scene with the man burning his child with the iron in "the cell" made me cry and still freaks me out when i think about it.

maybe i'll wait till its on video and i can fastforward that scene.

this talk show i watched talked about this movie. they also mentioned that the last half hour was extremely intense.


.........i'm still somewhat interested in seeing it.

Sounds like the movie Seven times 10! I assumed it would be pretty gory just from the ads on TV.

Repeat this mantra with me

"It's just a movie".

Even the movies based on real life shit, the story telling is that; a movie. The blood is fake, the gore is fake, etc It does look real in some movies like Saw but that doesn't change the fact its a rigged up body their dicing and corn syrup thats squirting everywhere.

Mav, you're really stupid.

Your post rates highly on the "No shit!" scale. Repeating "it's just a movie" doesn't make it any less intense or disturbing to watch.

Gez, pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew. Now I can sleep better tonight knowing that what I saw wasn't a documentary...pheeeeeeeeeeeeeew. I was watching it, and man, I was like, "That guy's mean, how haven't the caught him yet?" And when he killed that one guy I screamed, "NOOOOOOOOOO!", and I've been spending the last two days praying for his family. BUT THANK YOU for calming my fears by telling me that it was fake...THANK YOU!



You really are a dumbass...

Eh, the movie wasn't that great. I think I laughed about..half the movie. There were a couple good parts, the ending partially redeemed it, but..The acting was horrible, I mean..HORRIBLE.
