Saw certainly has one of the best plots ever in a film. A common mistake made when Saw is the topic of discussion (I can't say that is very often) is that the gore is the main feature of the movie. While that does become quite true in the later episodes of the movie series, this does not quite apply to the first of the long series of psychiatric thrillers. Of course, it would be a lie to say there was no blood displayed in the film, some would say that there was a great deal of it, but it is the plot that would be remembered by any viewer. The low budget can be quite noticeable at times, however it is made up for with great directing and script, and a major twist that you won't forget. The only real problem with this is that you can watch a crime show on television anyday without having an hour and fourteen minutes, and chances are you will get better visual effects. Still, with that considered, it is a movie that is definitely worth watching.… Expand

This movie has the worst direction I've probably ever seen in a movie. The acting was horrible, the camera angles during the "action" sequences were horrible, and just the way the movie was done in general, was awful. The only reason I give it a 6 is because the ending is so good & unexpected.

This movie is phenomenal, and one of the best of all time. The label of "torture porn" is way off, and I don't see at all why it is labeled as such. To me, this really isn't much of a horror movie, than a crime drama.

Stupid. Pointless, Dull, Boring. Nothing to marvel here.

Unexceptional, but worth seeing for the intensity it brings from the opening scene and never stops bringing.

Okay, first I failed to see why they put danny glover in this movie. Can someone please explain to me again why he was in this film? Acting was below standard. The shock value was the only thing keeping this movie from being a 0. It did have some scary moments I'll give it that. But that's all. Certain parts of the movie didn't add up. And some scenes need to be seriously re-written. Even some characters should have been re-written. You will laugh at the acting of the most serious scenes. Why couldn't the guy take his own advice from earlier in the movie? Use the shirt? Like duh. I guess I can't blame the actors, but I do blame the writers for giving them scenes in which they made obvious stupid mistakes and turned a possibly great movie and turned it into a disaster.… Expand

Very entertaining to watch for the first time. Then you walk away and think about it and realise the number of flaws with it. They pitted a master serial killer against the worst cop in the world, Danny Glover was useless. Could have been much better but to many flaws. No where near as good as SEVEN and does not have the watch again appeal like SEVEN.

It's just not a good movie. I figured out the ending in the first five minutes so I wasn't surprised at the ending at all. Maybe it's because every movie feels like it needs to have a twist ending these days. It had an interesting Se7en-like morality plot with the traps the victims need to get out of but ultimately the film could not deliever in the end. I would recommend Takashi Miike's "Audition" way before this.… Expand

Give me a break! Bad acting, no scares - not even the cheap gratuitous kind, a ridiculous "denouement" - you could make a better movie during the weekend at home. Do not see Saw.

I loved the movie to death..it was awsome and i would like to see it over and over again!!! It has even inspired me to write an story called PUNISHMENT my fave scene is the one with the big brace that was on that girls face.. it was actuall 10 x better that i expected the end is so twisted!!!!

Best horror movie I've seen in a long time.

Unbelievable. The critics destroyed the image of such a great movie. It is, however, not for horror-buffs. You won't find very many scary scenes, but instead grisly riddles that are mindbinding. Definately suspensful. If you like Se7en, than this is definately your kind of movie.

It's like a high school production of Se7en, except you don't feel bad laughing at it!

[***SPOILERS***] I like this movie. No it's not perfect but it was, to my thinking, unique. As mentioned there were some scenes that didn't make a lot of sense to me. I'd probably give it a 7.5 if I could but settled on the 8 because of how many incredibly disapointing experiences I've had at the theater over the past several months. *********** minor spoiler *********** I was not disturbed by the torture scene with the young girl but after the conclusion of the movie I was left wondering how exactly that scene even fits into the storyline. Cops running around without backup is just silly. This is especially true when you are going after a "Hannibal Lecter" type dude.… Expand

Ok. This is a low budget horror film. That in itself shifts my entire rationale for its scoring. Had it been, say, a Miramax comedy, it'd get a 4. That said, this movie had some really really strong points for its genre. The plot was wickedly creative. I will see it again for this reason. The cinematography is very new, and should be applauded. On the other hand, the plot also had more holes than I can count. But like I said before, its a low budget horror flick. Also, there is some extremely weak and laughable acting - but some shining acting as well. In the end, if you want to be disgusted, scared, suprised, thrilled and otherwise brought to the edge of your seat, than this movie'll do it for ya. If you're looking for high cinema, forget about it. But then again, why would you be looking for a horror movie anyway???… Expand

This film is a geniouses idea! Shame about some of the flaws. I loved it from start till finished. Se7en came to mind though as i watched saw. Its clearly a wanna be movie. The directory had an amazing idea and the character seemed fine to me stop moaning critics!great films!

"Saw" grows increasingly annoying with each new plot twist, because this sometimes inspired thriller doesn't need it. Seeing people come to grisly ends isn't high on my list of must-sees, but the manner in which this serial killer operates, albeit disgusting, is admittedly creative, and genuinely unsettling to watch unfold. "Saw" is also marred by some uneven acting (Cary Elwes doesn't do primal terror very well), and the final twist is throw your hands up in the air time, because it's more absurd than exciting. … Expand

I really enjoyed this, as a debut effort the director worked wonders with lighting. Performances aside this has a great twist i for one never SAW coming and made a trip to the cinema really worth it - beings i havent been in a very long time. Great stuff and definately the best suspence/horror ive seen this year, its going to be a cult classic.

[***SPOILER***] I saw the guy in front me in the movie theatre get up in anger and walk to the exit and come back after the scene where the woman was supposed to shoot the bad guy after he kidnapped them. This was really stupid, but I said to myself "Self do you think that you can take bad acting, a poor script, and comical behavior anymore?" to my astonishment myself said "yes" and I stayed in my seat. Maybe the guy in front of me couldn't take it, maybe he needed to go to the exit to remind himself that he was not being tortured, and he returned when he noticed that he had this power of walking out of this movie.… Expand

Hilarious! See this movie and you will be rolling on the floor , like most of the audience was when I saw it! Funnier than Scary Movie.

I'm not sure how much the guy from Film Threat was paid to give this movie a good write-up, but it is utter and complete crap. Its only redeemable quality is that its so awful that it's unintentionally hilarious. At the showing I went to, the whole audience was cracking up during what I assume were supposed to be serious scenes. I'd like to give a shout-out to the guy behind me in the theater, though, who shouted a rather astute observation during a certain apartment scene: "You need to get some WD-40 for those doors, dawg!"… Expand

Good idea for a movie, butchered by everyone who made it. This movie is set in the director's reality rather than actual reality. eg. two cops go into a killer's hideout and find the killer, but at no point bother to call for backup or at least shoot the killer. A series of these stupid unbelievable plot holes along with mediocre acting i.e. fake death scene make this movie which looked good in previews turn out to be crap. Wanna see a good movie see team america. wanna see a good horror see grudge.… Expand

The ending was a complete shock. I thought i knew it but i was way off. The acting is what killed this for me. so cheesy is was ridiculous. great story, but it just fell apart late. good rental, not worth buying

Awesome.

I'm gonna tell all you haters why i think this is one of the best horror movies to come out since the ring. and first of all i'll give you a disclaimer at why horror moives should get a pass on plot loopholes. first of all the only movie of the genre that i can ever remember not having any rediculous plot loopholes is the exorcist. which i admit to this day is still the crowning jewel of the horror genre. but besides that movie and maybe a handful of others that i have admittedly most likely not seen. there are NOT very many horror movies that have points in the plot that can be logically explained. however, this movie i believe has 3 outstanding aspects that make it a very good horror movie. 1. The atmosphere in this movie rival anything i've seen since probably panic room, which wasnt technically a horror movie. 2. Discarding the last 20-30 minutes of the movie where i admit there are some of the worst acted moments of 2004 the scenes with cary elwes and that other dude in the bathroom are among the most captavating that i've seen this year. 3. The ending. i havent seen a movie this year that has left me wondering how the situation would be resolved more than in this movie. while some may consider this to be a ploy just to wet peoples appetites for the sequel , i see it as a break from the convential mold of horror movies ending on a clear note. theres no reason for a horror movie to end on a resolving note, why should a movie of an atypical event that nearly everyone believes could never happen to them end on a note that allows everyone to live happily ever after. like life it isnt perfect but in a time of nearly nausating horror movies i believe this is a fantastic breath of fresh air.… Expand

This movie is one of the best horrors since Alfred Hitchcock. The excellence is contained in the absolute insane genius of the "Jigsaw Killer."

Perhaps the worst acting perfomance (Elwes) I have seen in the past 10 years. Great premise, but quickly becomes completely implausible.

I gave this film a 3 for a creative concept, decent twist at the end, and the creepiness factor. With a better script, better performances and the closing of a few plot holes, this could have been another Seven. Sadly the acting was so bad the movie was actually laughable.

This is one of the best horror's ever! It's just dark, scary and most of all tensive! People who not liked the movie don't like horror so why do you even vote?

Can't wait for the sequel! (Octoboer 31st)

If you liked the Fight Club, you will Love this movie.

uh...first of all...this isnt a horror film...its a snuff film...its not scarey, it just nasty...bad acting and stupid plot...as most snuff films have. However, if all you want to see is people getting killed, go to a search engine and type :"Snuff Films".

great plot and twist but terrible acting and dialogue has held this movie back... still deserves credit due to the fact that its a indie.

This movie is in no way perfect but its exciting and most importantly fun to watch. if you love movies were they have you think this is a movie to watch especially the sequels. I can almost garantee that you will enjoy this movie if you love getting excited, disturb, and just plain out scared of what might happen next. I can't wait for Saw IV!

Although it is not wonderfull..horror films rarely are and this is definately one of the best recently. This is probably due to the twists which are, suprisingly, unexpected and unpredictable. Full of gore and physically sickening..but you have to carry on watching. Appeals to the darker side of everyone.

Hilariously bad, dull, and almost completely un-disturbing, un-thrilling, and un-scary. Very predictable and even the promised bloon n' gore is underwhelming. About the only thing to be said about it is that it's better than the sequels.

Saw figures most horror-goers don't care about characters, and so it leaps straight to doing inhumane things to them. It's an interesting inversion of the slasher movie; where Jason or Myers have teens running in terror, pursuing with some deadly weapon, here almost every character is trapped and subjected to some awful game. In fact, the killer is the only one who is really chased in Saw. It's gruesome soul is quite shocking, and its ending is one of the best (if bleakest) in modern horror. It would just be nice if we liked some of the characters before they were subjected to Jigsaw's mindgames (and bodygames), or if Jigsaw didn't preach at us quite so much - two problems the sequels neglected to fix. But for a stand-alone first picture, Saw is a stand out.… Expand

This movie isn't entertaining in the slightest, it is over-hyped and sick. Any level headed person will find this film disgusting and very unenjoyable

Saw is a good movie. But is pretty boring.

A depressingly predictable movie that will only appeal to those who like to see people being tortured. There really is nothing else to the movie.

[***SPOILER***] To poster Richard G., many newspaper critics considered the extended scenes where the daugher is psychologically tortured a big 'no-no' by any movie standards. Like many of the scenes which fell flat on delivery -- every movie patron I sat by grumbled about wasted money and time they spent watching "Saw." I have to agree because even network television does a better job at creating creepy psycho serial killer stories.… Expand

I'm not sure what to think of all these reviews. Perhaps I'm too willing to suspend my disbelief and enjoy a good movie. I personally really liked Saw. It's a dark movie, dense in it's mood much like Seven. I liked it because it made you experience what was happening rather than telling you so much. You wake up in a dark room with the characters. You know about as much as the characters do. personally I thought the acting was well done. All the character flaws were there for a purpose. If you're looking for a good thriller, go see this movie. Let go of your uber-analytical mind and have some fun.… Expand

Dark and creepy. When you're going to sleep tonight, imagine waking up in the position of one of the characters, having to perform some terrible deed just to have a chance at survival.

[***SPOILERS***] There is nothing I hate more than a movie that compels you to put yourself in the characters shoes, but only if you're willing to leave your brain behind. If I found myself chained to a cast iron pipe, and had a hacksaw at my disposal, I'd sure be trying to cut the soft cast iron before the hard steel chain (duh!) If I had all kinds of smaller exposed pipes attached to the walls around me, I'd be trying to cut, bend, yank, pull, and fatigue them off the wall, so as to SMASH through the relatively brittle cast iron pipe. If I had a FREAKING GUN and BULLET in the room with me, I'd be using my clothes, pieces of electrical cable, and ANYTHING else at my disposal, to reach said items so I could SHOOT OFF THE LOCK!!! I'd even try using the ceramic toilet to smash the cast iron pipe. Cast iron is not that strong (recall Andy Dufrane breaking the large pipe in The Shawshank Redemption with a rock.) All these things are what normal, survival minded people would try to do before lying down and crying like babies. If you want to make a situation hopeless, then do so! Bury the chains in the concrete floor, stick the characters at the bottom of a well, or in the middle of the ocean. Do WHATEVER, but don't create obvious options any reasonably intelligent person could try, and then expect us to feel for characters who do NOTHING because the script calls for them to be stupid. Either I want to be in their shoes or I don't. There are types of movies where one suspends disbelief. Psychological thrillers aren't one of them. That said, there were a dozen more stupid scenes, like the cop trying to find the "off switch" on the drills, while holding a loaded pistol in his hand (duh again!) Elwes' wife NOT shooting an apparently psycho who had spent hours terrorizing and threatening to kill her and her daughter. What was that??? For that matter, if that guy was truly being coerced to do what he did, why did he seem to take such pleasure in terrorizing the wife? Danny Glover was the most physically inept cop since inspector Clouseau (I guess he's castrated without Mel Gibson.) I could go on and on. Bottom line, if a movie is going to have half a chance at scaring me, I have to feel some of the same helplessness as the characters. Maybe I'm just too tough of a guy, but I felt more "trapped" seeing Meg Ryan's head lying on Billy Crystal's chest in Harry Met Sally, then I ever did seeing people chained up in Saw.… Expand

Great film! sicko of a killer but a great film.

This film is total nonsence....

The best horror/thriller ever. best ending in a film that i have seen.

Horrifying. Original. Powerful. What more? The best horror film of the year!

When I saw previews for this movie I was excited. It looked like it had everything that has been left out of horror movies in recent years. The movie had a lot going for it... and looked creepy as hell! I must sadly say that this movie falls short. Strangely enough the story to this horror movie is actually quite good, so it's got a one up on most scary movies. The acting seems a little flat. Cary Elwes seemed not interested in... well, anything. It's true he's suppose to be level headed but it comes off like he doesn't care (don't get me wrong, I like Cary. I mean have you seen Princess Bride?!). The editing... oh God the editing. How much, jerky fast motion can you use... and to rock music??? Are you kidding me? It's this a movie to mess with your mind or a crazy death metal music video? I do believe if they were to release a re-edited version that changed this then it would be MUCH higher but for as it is... It's a shame that this happened to a movie that had SOO much going for it.… Expand

[***SPOILERS***] If you want to see a movie that has like 3 good parts (showing several victims attempt to escape their trap w/cool music playing the whole time) that span 5 min apiece, then this movie is for you. Otherwise, don't see this till video. I saw this in an advance screening and watching Cary Elwes try to act and cry (which was unintentionally funny) was ridiculous. Danny Glover's character was entirely extraneous and the end has such a Hollywood twist that it quite annoys. (SLIGHT SPOILER) Look for the part where Elwes goes to a hotel room to secretly meet his secretary, gets an anonymous phone call, and then, unfazed, calmly says "I have to go." This basically sums up the movie for me - not very smart at all.… Expand

There was not a dull moment in the film. I loved it.

Horrible movie. Some of the worst acting and dialogue I've seen in any movie ever. I suppose you might enjoy it if you don't care about that stuff.

A solid thriller. Unique twist.

Definatly the best movie i watched all last year (2004) the script was good and the twist in the end was totally not expected a real WINNER in my books. i am really impressed by Wan's debut he will really have to come up with some thing above average to out do this movie as it will be a real challenge i will look forward to his next project :)

It was reallllly good, kinda reminded me of seven, definately not as good as "seven", i brought it down two notches because of the baaaad acting. and i mean baaaad. but other then that, it was really original.

Interesting premise, but could have been much better had it not been spoiled by horrible acting and numerous stupid plot twists.

A gruesome mess of logic violence and terrific storyline. A must-see!

I don't know what Geoff was talking about. There is no possible way that you can figure out this ending, especially within the first five minutes. Good film that wasn't extremely scary but draws you in till the very end.

The premise for the movie was excellent. Fire the casting director for hiring Cary Elwes as one of the main characters. He is brutal!!

This is one of the better horror movies that I've ever seen. And with no dumb cheesey moments - refreshing for the genera. It's exciting, scary, and got an original idea with plot twists. Really, it's everything you might hope for.

One of the best psych films kept you guessing until the end you did it. The Doctor is lame but besides that great movie.

Absolutely superb, with a brilliant twist right at the end - gruesome horror done exactly how it should be.

If I thought this movie was trying to be funny, I would have given it a 10. Unfortunately I think it was trying to be shocking and clever, and instead it ended up being one of the worst acted, directed, and written movies I have ever seen in a theater. I'm not sure where all these good scores are coming from. A good premise does not make a good movie, and this movie proves that fact. You will have more fun at the dentist's during a root canal. PS. My girlfriend liked it and I almost had to dump her because of this.… Expand

This movie has been a punching bag for many critics this year, and I for onedisagree. I think that it is along the same lines as Seven, and although not with the same characterization and skillful writing, it is a deliciously filthy film that delivers shocks throughout, as well as a Shalaman-style ending that will leave you reeling and replaying the film over in your mind. Believe me. It's not even a quarter as bad as some seem to think it is.… Expand

Great film , im suprised it had such bad reviews, great twist at the end.

This movie certainly wasn't perfect, but as a clever thriller with an excellent idea behind it, it wasn't half bad. First of all, anyone who says that this movie is "funny" is pretty sick: I don't recall seeing a funny moment in this movie, nor does anyone who I know that saw it. Second, while the plot points that were pointed out by those who criticized this movie were valid (I too noticed the lack of sawing through the lock/pipes, the woman not shooting her captor, the police not shooting the machine), they didn't ruin the movie to the point where it is not worth watching. Overall, an extremely interesting and watchable, though quite disturbing, film.… Expand

It kept me in it despite elwes's horrible performance and relative predictability and a few classic cliches. what really annoyed me was the twist at the end that made absolutely no sense. yes it was unexpected, but it completely ruined the movie that some guy in a hospital bed you saw for 2 seconds did everything. i think it would have been much i better if it had turned out to be one of the more central characters. it had a good premise, but i was left frustrated that they ruined an ok with the end.… Expand

Very good Film!... thats all I have to say.

You'll never predict the ending to this one, which is about the only good thing in this film.

Some people have said the ending is the best thing about this film. No, the best thing about this film is it's central horrifying idea that people are forced into killing other people in order to save themselves. The ending merely surprises because it is absurd and unbelievable; it's no revelation. The acting is attrocious, plot convoluted, it's edited like a cheap MTV video clip and the direction is disappointing.… Expand

An absurd atrocity!!! The film has no logic whatsoever. This was one of the worst films of 2004. This stinker deserved worse reviews than it received.

The acting and writing in this movie aren't bad. They are hanging-your-mouth-open-in-wonder bad.

Ridiculous movie. Keeps you in suspense throughout the entire film. This horror movie keeps you thinking and gets you connected to the actors. Eleven out of ten star for this great flick.

One of the best horror movies i've ever seen. Though it's not scary it's plot is outstanding and it's twists and sick gore is amazing. It's good because like if you've seen one Friday the 13th you've seen them all but Saw keeps you intersted in what will happen next.

Better then the others (not saying the others were bad). But who ever thinks this movie is not good, then they need to get hit with a bat 3 times in the head... cause they obviously dont see the genius plot and i must admit it was kinda queezy, and later on in the movie you get to like watching ppl die in awesome ways. C'mon who doesnt like Mortal Kombat? Grand Theft Auto? The Suffering? So dont leave the movie half-way and think you can review it badly....watch the whole thing Wooses!… Expand

SAW was excruciatingly boring. you may go ahead and watch the whole film... if you want to waste 2 hours of your whole life that you may never get back.

Great story and music. In the same vein as seven.

If you are into psychological horrors, this might be the movie for you.

A well made thriller, good for horror fans. A bit overacted at times, but a good waste of an hour and a half. People should check out the superior sequels as well.

No Saw movie can be a Saw movie unless you include the rest of the series. Very clever movie, but many weak spots and bad acting. But I will admit that I was into this series for a while. But one day I opened my eyes, and said "What the fcuk am I doing??"

Gross, stupid, sadistic, dumb, boring, sick, disgusting. It truly deserves at least a "36".

After years of ignoring this series due to it being a poorly reviewed horror series I was finally persuaded by a friend to check it out. I found it to be a disgusting exercise in torture porn with a somewhat original premises. None of the performances are special, and there isn't much in the way of thrills. The story is a mess. There is a market for this stuff I guess, and it's definitely not me.… Expand

I got so gripped and so excited and intrested and scared and spooked and grossed out and that's good. Amanda is easily the best character design ever. and it's so flippin scary

The only movie in the series worth a touch, but even then there are better horror movies out there.

Best Thriller ever... This movie puts the Ring and Identity to sleep...

A strong horror movie with a fascinating killer. The best slasher movie to come along in a while. My fave new serial killer since Dr Lecter.

A disappointment. I expected a little more from this movie, and got very little in return. The trailers are mighty enticing. Then again, when the main actor draw is Glover, I shoulda known.

Cary & Danny have jumped the shark while trapped in one of the worst movies I've seen in some time. Often laughably bad acting (inconceivable? no Elwes' Lawrence: MUST ... SAVE ... MY FAMILY makes Star Trek Shatner's Kirk--I ... HAVE HAD ... ENOUGH ... OF YOU-u-u-u--look like Oscar-worthy material). Awkward dialogue. Poor pacing & irrelevant plot developments drawn out, while development of character motivation nixed (no punch, for example, to the taking-life-for-granted motif since the script skips revealing the lives at all!). Way-y-y-y too many moments demanding suspension of disbelief. I also thought the gore aspect was less than most have said (but, then maybe my laughter had my gore sensors in a lockbox). END TAPE: Live your life & cut this one from your movie going line-up.… Expand

Much much better than seven, just because of the fact that it is much much more creative, the affects are amazing, and for such a low low budget it was made extremaly well i loved it it was a great movie im sure alot wont agree but i frankly dont give a s... about what they think, i liked it.

"Saw" takes a really great and original idea, and turns it into something average and mediocre. I was expecting to see a deeply layered and thought out thriller, but what I got was a poorly acted piece of Indie fluff. The directing in "Saw" isn't half bad, and the story is very much intriguing. But, the dialogue is very banal and embarrasing to listen to, and the acting is nothing short of atrocious. Although the cast rounds out some very talented performers like Danny Glover and Cary Elwes, they give quite possibly the worst performances of their lives. I always loved Cary Elwes acting, and I was excited to hear he was the main character in this. I wasn't too enthralled half way through the movie though. It's as if Elwes for some reason forgot all the acting skills he was ever taught for an hour and forty minutes (the runtime of "Saw"). Danny Glover phones in his performance as a creepy police detective to the point of actual embarrasment. The film uses gratitous gore and blood to somehow distract the viewers from the poor acting and dialogue, which is pretty lame if you ask me. The gore in "Saw" isn't as graphic or disgusting as most critics are saying. The only scene where I felt like I really couldn't take it, was when Cary Elwes saws through his own foot (and the camera doesn't pan away during the carnage.) The ending of "Saw" is about as confusing as it is ill-conceived. I almost let out a laugh at the end over how ridiculous it was. In conclusion, "Saw" is a second-rate average thriller that is definetly not worth the price of admission. Wait for DVD. Grade: C.… Expand

I thought this one was pretty good, but could've been a lot better. The main problem was continuity; the events unravel in an odd manor...

I saw Saw 2 before i saw this one...still understood the story without seeing the first one...but even with Saw 1's crappy acting and bad dialouge it still has its scary moments and really sets the movie up for the much better sequel.

I did not find this movie to be the that good. the acting was horrible the twist wasnt even that great or big i dont see why everyones so blown away by it and i have a feeling that the second one is going to be even worse then this piece of junk. i havent seen a good horror movie since the sixth sense that was a good horror movie with a good twist nothing worth seeing here not even the twist but i will give it a 2 because i think it had a good concept wish they just did more with it, it could have been a great movie.… Expand

The best thriller for quite a long time, wonderful twist.

If you haven't seen the movie, and have read previous comments like the one linking this film on the same level as fight club, and then watch the film with that comment in mind, you will be bitterly dissapionted, it was bollocks.

The best Horror/Thriller flick i've ever seen.

This film is seriously f...ed up. thats why i like ti. the film is pretty basic but the plot succeds in making direct links to jigsaw and his abductees. the movie stirs your mind but at points can lose it at times. the ending was brilliant an not at all expected. the best horror movie of last year along with dawn of the dead and switchblade romance. the only thing that let it down was the acting. it makes keanu reeves performance in matrix reloaded/revolutions oscar-worthy. but all i nall, a solid horror movie that will not fail to please.… Expand
