I'm not at all a horror film buff, but this one is looking rather ... disturbing. In a good way :) Lots of Internet buzz, apparently got a great reaction at Sundance.
Movie description:
A young man named Adam (LEIGH WHANNELL) wakes to find himself chained to a rusty pipe inside a decrepit subterranean chamber. Chained to the opposite side of the room is another bewildered captive, Dr. Lawrence Gordon (CARY ELWES). Between them is a dead man lying in a pool of blood, holding a .38 in his hand. Neither man knows why he has been abducted; but instructions left on a microcassette order Dr. Gordon to kill Adam within eight hours. If he fails to do so, then both men will die, and Dr. Gordon’s wife, Alison (MONICA POTTER), and his daughter will be killed. Recalling a recent murder investigation by a police detective named Tapp (DANNY GLOVER), Dr. Gordon realizes he and Adam are the next victims of a psychopathic genius known only as “Jigsaw.” With only a few hours left to spare, they must unravel the elaborate puzzle of their fate in the midst of mounting terror. The killer has provided them with only a few clues and two handsaws – too weak to break their steel shackles, but strong enough to cut through flesh and bone
Two different trailers for this film:
First Trailer (Quicktime format) (http://download.ifilm.com/qt/portal/2642103_200.mov)
Second Trailer (Windows Media) (http://lionsgate.arcostream.net/lionsgate/saw/saw_fd_300Kbps.wmv)
After watching the trailers, it seems the movie has a great premise, but the director has a serious case of ADD.
Anyone here seen it? Anyone looking forward to it?
