"Saw" - upcoming horror flick, any thoughts?

I’m not at all a horror film buff, but this one is looking rather … disturbing. In a good way :slight_smile: Lots of Internet buzz, apparently got a great reaction at Sundance.

Movie description:

Two different trailers for this film:

First Trailer (Quicktime format)
Second Trailer (Windows Media)

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?

This is the first I’ve heard of it, and unfortunately, the lame-ass computer here at work will probably burst into flames if I try to watch the trailer, but just from the description, I am so there. I love horror movies. I love puzzles. I love the Dread Pirate Westley. It’s all good. :slight_smile:

I haven’t heard anything about it, I just wanted to say this was a great unintentional pun.

Just go find a computer that works - if you like the description, you’ll love the trailers.

I predict lots of bad puns: “My eyes are sore: I just saw Saw” etc.

hate to bump my own thread, but I’m quite curious about this film, esp. anyone who has seen it, but even what you all think of the trailers.

I’m confused. Every description of the movie I’ve read, including the one in the OP, describes a movie that has nothing to do with the Quicktime trailer (can’t view the WMV for some reason).

What’s the dealio?

The trailers are teasers - introducing you to Jigsaw’s style, with two of his earlier murders, and giving a (very) brief introduction to Glover’s character. The synopsis is the plot of the actual movie.

I would just like to take the opportunity to say that…

HOW FUCKED UP IS THAT?

…is the coolest movie tagline ever.

And it looks like it could be good. (On the other hand, S7ven looked pretty appealling on the strength of its trailer, too.)

I don’t know if it’ll make it to the theaters around here, but I’m definitely marking it as something to rent.

Looking forward to it. I like the dark movies. Seems like a cross between Cube and Seven.

Did you see the international posters for the film? :eek: I have a hard time seeing Canadian or U.S. theatres putting those up. Here are links to the two posters from CHUD.com…

And here’s a CHUD.com review of the film.

Anyhoo…
