Saw one and two

[el_boss]

I liked both of these movies alot and I recommend them for everyone. They have a similar atmosphere as "Seven", wich also is one of my favourite movies. They have alot of twists and turns in the plot wich keeps you guessing all the time and it leaves you with a distinc "what the fuck" feeling. I wouldn't say that it is a "scary" movie in the scence that it doesn't have alot of "bloody" scenes and such. It concetrates more on messing with your head, with sick situations and scenarios.

If anyone else has seen the movie it would be great to discuss it. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, so I won't say anymore for now.

Saw was a great movie, I haven't seen the second one yet, but I liked Seven a lot better. I knew who the killer was from the beginning because everyone kept on saying it's the person you least expect.

I thought Saw was good considering it was low budget, but it was entirely predictable imo. Nothing really happened that I didn't see coming a mile off. And that 'Robin Hood: Men in Tights' guy should stick to comedy, he can't act in a horror/drama sense.

[darkmetal505]

uh its not as "scary" as the first one but definatley more gory

[dark maginn]

One was a nice breath of fresh air to the horor genera. Two expands on the original. Definatly good movie ot see.

i haven't seen the 2nd one but the first was a piece of shit. it's just so stupid and predictable i left feeling angry. i mean it's not High Tension stupid, but it's stupid enough and lacked any sort of redeeming value that would make it a fun stupid movie. How hard is it to just make a plain scary movie? why do american horror film makers always have to resort to some lame twist that leaves a bad taste in your mouth and is just plain insulting to the audience?

Mayby that's because normal horror movies suck, they're all ecactly the same unless they put a twist on it. Are you saying that you think that Scream is better than this? I didn't think of Saw as a horror movie, I tought of it more as a detective/thriller thing.

Also I have a hard time believing everyone that are saying that they knew exactly every little detail of the plot before it happened. The big thing wasn't who the murderer was, it's more the situation that was surprising.

[ChiaCheese]

whoa, who said anything about scream? let's keep the insults to a minimum. As for Saw, i wouldn't say every little detail were predictable, but the situations were. also, your argument about normal horror movies can just as easily apply to nearly every single modern horror movie. They suck because they're all the same because they have a twist ending. Though that's not what I'm saying. i don't think that they're all bad, it's just when the twist is done poorly and/or is totally unneccesary like in high tension and saw, it's irritating. a movie doesn't need a twist to be scary, i would prefer a solid story with believable characters and some good scares to a twist any day.

I have to agree with Chia, and it isn't to insult anyone or what not. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I did not like Saw 1 nor will I watch 2. I just was not scared at all, hardly any movie can scare me. One thing the movie was for sure, it was gory. Other than that, it was mostly two guys just talking inside a closed room, listening to some psycho. I was disappointed by it as I had high expectations to be scared. So if anyone knows of a real good scary movie, tell me. Thanks.

I don't get scared by movies either, but I still can enjoy these kinds of movies. I recently saw "the amityville horror" and I recommend it, it was much better than I expected.

Sorry guys, "scary" movies that actually have the ability to "scare" you are not made anymore, so I think it's time to wave good-bye to that.

That said, I think Saw is a totally cool movie that, while not scaring me, did make me just a little uneasy, and I think its plot for both 1 and 2 are cool. I watched the sequel twice, they're great movies, just don't expect to be literally scared. Remember, movies don't have that ability anymore.

[Board of Command]

Saw 2 is awesome. I don't really think the Saw movies are "horrors".

[Strike Freedom]

Alrighty, I'll give it a shot, perhaps two will shed a different opinion and give a better perspective to part 1. I'm surprised too, usually sequels suck.

El_Boss, I'll check that movie out: Amityville Horror. Ojala que sea buena (hope it is good).

I agree, they have more in common with movies such as "The Usual Suspects" and "Fight Club" Don't know really why I tough of these movies, but somhow you get the same feeling when the underlying plot is revealed.

[Mite Gai]

They are okay though I am not a fan of horror movies or whatever category the saw series falls into (heard they were making 3 or 5 more) so my opinion may be biased. Though the Saw series is not scary just gory.

[ChiaCheese]

Even the gore factor of Saw is a bit tame. But then I went in already familiar with movies like Zombi2, the Guinea Pig series and the films of Takashi Miike. Though i do hear that the 2nd is gorier than the first.
Hey, does anybody remember this cringe inducing scene?

[Krbadass]

I thought saw and saw2 weren't very predictabe, at least to me and my friends. I liked them both.
