19. Saw (2004)
"How much blood will you shed to stay alive?"
A long while ago, the 'Saw' franchise began with a short film that came out in 2003 also called 'Saw'. Since then, the series has now become popular for a thing called 'torture porn', and is also known for already having 5 entrees in the series, along with a sixth coming out this month, and a seventh coming out next year, and it'll probably break it's promise of stopping, and go on from there. The 2 I found to be the best in the series were the original 'Saw' (above) and Saw III, which should of been the "last" one in the series. Anyways, the first is my favorite because of many reasons. The traps were great (reverse bear trap was awesome), the gore wasn't spontaneous and in-your-face kind of way like the sequels, the characters were believable and it actually felt like they were fighting for their lives. But what the original 'Saw' maintained was a balanced out sense of sane horror. Anyways, the plot here is actually pretty simple. Two men are trapped in a room, in chains, chained to pipes. A dead body lies in the middle of the floor, the two men don't know how or who got them there. All they know is that they have only a limited time to escape otherwise ones family will be murdered. This simultaneously happens in the plot while a distraught Detective Tapp (portrayed by Danny Glover) obsesses over finding the Jigsaw killer after losing his partner to the madman. This 'Saw' is indeed a cl@ssic as it maintains a good balance between sane horror and over the top horror. It literally started the whole Torture phenomenon in films we've come to see, and also has a huge cliffhanger for an ending. A great movie.
I have also found this very interesting and fun videon on Youtube, here:
Just listen to the directions the guy has to say, and he'll get inside of your head. Enjoy, and thanks for reading!
