Saw 2004


Directed by James Wan, this movie stars Cary Elwes, Leigh Whannell and Danny Glover, Shawnee Smith and Tobin bell in the lead. Adam and Lawrence wakes up in a bathroom their ankle chained to pipes. They find a corpse lying in between holding a cassette recorder and a revolver. Also their are cassettes in each of their pockets, listening to which they find that Adam must escape and Lawrence must kill him before 6. They also find two chainsaws later by which they try to cut their chains but in vain. Lawrence tells Adam that they are being held captive by a maniac killer Jigsaw who don't kill his victims but wants them to survive undergoing a psychological and physical torture. He wants them to appreciate life and not take it for granted. Now they realize that the hacksaw is not to cut the chains and instead to cut their feet to set free. Also Lawrence's wife and daughter are held captive by someone who is looking at both of them. Now he must escape in order to save them, but for that he must kill Adam. What will happen next? Will he kill Adam or they both work out some other way is how this bone chilling movie progresses unfolding new suspense and mysteries. The movie is a psychological gore and sadist horror.

The direction of movie is exceptional. Both the roles of Adam and Lawrence are played nicely. Interest builds up automatically as the movie progresses and you tend to be in it feeling the tension and the tensed atmosphere, all regards to the brilliant screenplay and of course the amazing direction of James Wan. The soundtrack and the background score is equally good. The movie is intense in gore terms and is not meant for light heart individuals. Its thrilling, its chilling and its full of mysteries unfolding till the end. Watch for twists to twist your minds. Overall the movie holds up too well and being a little slow never bores you. In-fact a must for all psycho-thriller lovers.

My Rating - 9 on 10
