#0Saw - The Movie
Posted: 10/29/04 at 7:12pmOk people, it's Halloween weekend and the scariest movie in DECADES is opening in honour of that fact. Saw. It opened in the UK at the beginning of October and I went to see it, knowing very little about it. I have never been more terrified at a movie in my entire life. Anyone else going to see it this weekend?
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Pop...I haven't seen it playing here yet in little old New Jersey. Then again I should open a paper and look.

I have heard there's thing called the internet too, Boobs. Apparently they have things like movie times on it and everything 
And jai, if the commercials scare you, the full movie will likely give you a heart attack.

Posted: 10/29/04 at 7:20pmHmmm I need to do more research on this things. You can really look up movie times on the internet ? Next you'll tell me that I can find a broadway message board on the internet Pop.

I'm so there this weekend.
Is it gory? Or is it more of a psychological thriller?

Posted: 10/29/04 at 7:24pmApparently, it's quite gory and sadistic...

It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 10/29/04 at 7:27pmSadistic, yes. Gory, no. There is not a massive amount of blood and guts in it (and the US release is a trimmed down version for gore anyways) but the power of suggestion is very big in this movie, so you come out thinking you've been watching a movie drenched in gore, and you really haven't.

Posted: 10/29/04 at 7:27pmhaha I HATE scary horror movies. The horror movies that are really dumb (like Gothika) are good. :-P I know, im odd like that.

Posted: 10/29/04 at 7:32pmHow is it compared to "28 Days later" ?

Posted: 10/29/04 at 7:34pmin terms of what? I thought 28 Days Later was rubbish, so Saw is a much better, much cleverer movie.

Posted: 10/29/04 at 7:37pmThat's all I was looking for Pop. Thanks

Posted: 10/29/04 at 9:34pmI just got back from seeing it. I thought it was very cleaver and worth checking out. It is more of a pyschological drama than a horror movie with just blood and gore. Great story with twists in the story that keep you thinking right up to the end. Go see it!

Posted: 10/29/04 at 11:05pmI read the plot premise and...ew. Not my cup of tea, at all.

Posted: 10/30/04 at 12:09amI was just at the website and my legs are paralyzed from fear. Meep.

Posted: 10/30/04 at 12:12amI saw the trailer the other day. It def. looked interesting, but am I the only one who didn't feel like it looked that scary based solely on the trailer?

Posted: 10/30/04 at 12:15amThe film is being compared to Se7en and Silence of the Lambs, so I'm sure it will be more psychological. And those are the types of films that really get to me.

#22re: Saw - The Movie
Posted: 10/30/04 at 12:18amThat's so much more my type than the bloody massacre flicks. The psycholigical ones scare me and keep me on the edge of my seat. This should be good.
#23re: Saw - The Movie
Posted: 10/30/04 at 12:20amI'm the very same way. It's much scarier to me to have a smart bad guy with a concept that makes you think instead of mindless gore. Damn, I'm still scared.

I think I'm scared.
I want to see it, but I am afraid of scarey movies.
If I go, I'll have to go with a group of friends and then make them all come back to my apartment after...for about a week! I wouldn't want to be alone!
