I've got the movie "Saw." Should I watch it? |
|
I got it from Netflix. Husband watched it over the weekend and I saw enough (little bits and pieces) to know it's dark and scary and possibly quite depressing.
I can't decide if I'm in the mood for it tonight. Or should I just mail it back (at least one of us watched it).
I also have "Bush Family Fortunes: the Best Democracy Money Can Buy" a documnetary that is quite anti-bush, but oddly, I don't feel in the mood for that, either. It would just get me pissed off all over again.

3. I'll be a wiener and give it to you without cage matching you for it. |
|
The husband really liked it, though. :shrug: Said it was freaky.
Have you seen it?

I watched some of it, turned it off and went to bed. Its the typical blood and gore stuff. And yes, depressing.

I had to see it for an article I was writing. On an otherwise sunny day, it left me with a pretty dark feeling for awhile...

6. I really didn't like it... |
|
...and I like the dark creepy stuff. It started with a good premise, then it fell apart. Also, the worst acting I've ever seen from Cary Elwes (sp?).

7. it was the scariest movie i have ever seen... |
|
there's not even a close second place. So if you like being scared, watch it.
Whoever said that Cary Elwes did a bad acting job was right on. OMG...he is so awful. He's never been a good actor, but in Saw he is particularly horrendous.

11. Did you find yourself wondering, thoughout the movie, |
|
why he was getting progressively paler and ashen? We were watching the movie and in one scene he's got normal skin tone, pink cheeks, and like, 2 minutes later it looked like he went rolling in a vat of Johnson's Baby Powder...then 3 minutes later, he's got circles under his eyes like He's been crying with an eye-full of mascara, then finally, he becomes so white that he blends in with the background and you can't tell if it's the wall talking, or Cary...

I think it is perfectly good enough to recommend. It's not all that depressing. The surprise ending is not all that imaginative.

Hubby and I got it at the reccomendation of a friend---I had never heard of it before she told me about it, and then I started seeing a few ads on TV about how it was available on DVD.
SO we watched it, and about halfway through the film I just KNOW I've got this thing figured out....I started getting bored because I just knew that the ending was going to be X and Y was going to happen to one character...
Boy, was *I* wrong.
You must watch it until the very last second. I mean the VERY last second.
That movie gave me the heebie-fucking-jeebies that night.
