this thriller will come to theatres around hallowe’en, but i was lucky enough to see an early screening at a local film festival here in calgary [click here for page of trailer links](http://www.themoviebox.net/movies/2004/STUVWXYZ/Saw/trailer.html) (i recommend Teaser #1) this indie film is a first-time effort for both the director and the screenwriter (who also co-stars), so there were traces of novice in the movie - mostly in the editing, but some of the dialogue could have used an objective review - but overall the movie was very enjoyable. cary elwes manages to fit into this dark story without any effort - a feat which has encouraged me to track down and see him portray the Green River killer… danny glover plays a (gasp!) cop role that could have (and possibly should have) been filled by a no-name visually, the director is clearly influenced by the david’s (fincher & lynch) the score is handled deftly by NIN’s Charlie Clouser I plan to see this again when it hits theatres and again when it hits dvd, and i can hardly wait to see what these two names come up with in future productions. ---

I prefer the tetherball myself. ---

It looks effing scary. I have to wait for it on DVD, I can’t handle stuff like that in a dark theatre. ---

I saw the trailer for this over this past weekend at the Resident Evil sequel (m’eh, btw). It looks EXCELLENT…I would love to see it in the theater…Chances are though, I will wait for DVD. I have a feeling it’s going to be in and out of the theaters quickly, and I will probably miss it. :smack:
