Strong and Moving!

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

And it's a pretty scary shape. We see a hospital janitor being questioned by the police about recent occurrences. He tells the story of his kidnapping and the horrible thing he had to do in order to save his life from a demented psychopath. The fact that we know he made it out alive doesn't take away any of its horror. The location where he was kidnapped is perfect and adds a great deal of helplessness to this short film.These ten minutes were the unofficial go-ahead for the extremely successful Saw-franchise that runs to this day. Its attention to detail (the instrument on David's head, the almost playful way the kidnapper enters etc.) make this short film worth a watch and should, if possible, be seen totally in the dark and on a big screen to increase the horror element.

The short film, SAW, shows very clever filmmaking in the horror genre. There hasn't been anything clever like this short film for years.David, an orderly of a hospital, has been kidnapped and faces his ultimate test. He must survive by killing another man that holds the key to his freedom. He wakes up, having a rusty contraption strapped to his face. Then, a mysterious puppet on the TV says if he doesn't remove the trap off his face in sixty seconds, his jaw will be ripped open.Once this short gets green-lit into a major motion picture, this exact scene has been tweaked up and was used in the first SAW film. It's heart-pounding and fun to watch! I recommend this short film to not just to SAW fans, but to curious folks that want to take step into the world of horror. Great short film!

Firstly I walked out of the cinema very satisfied with Australia's new talent.I was very inspired to keep on pursuing my own film career after this flick came out. Saw has a refreshing and very original feel to the horror genre and has a compelling and rich story to engage us all in the depth of the characters and has us desperately trying to guess the ending. Which in my opinion is phenomenal script writing. SO yes there is a twist and i promise you, YOU wont guess it!You cannot compare Saw in the same category to The Sixth Sense as its not as professionally directed, Though this movie was a brilliant start for the new Aussie Directors and have truly came up with originality in there work. It does succeed in being very scary in moments and i cant wait for there next film which lets hope will be even better and more mature, which i'm sure it will be after a fantastic start to film making.

This is a review for Saw uncut and the short film 'Saw' --Saw: Uncut-- Saw uncut is the original NC-17 version of the R-rated film that appeared in the Sundance Film Festival and a few others. This movie is practically the same movie. A few things you may notice are different, but others you won't notice though they are.The coloring to the movie is different for most of the movie, but like the scenes in bathroom mostly look the same. The music is different when the man goes through the razors and such, you can see his stomach torn open and his cuts better. Also, the Reverse Bear Trap scene is extended. Originally, you saw her looking through intestines or something and then she has the key. In this movie, she pulls out a liver or something, digs into it, and then finds the key.Also, the ending has different sound effects. In the R-rated film, you heard blood splattering when the Dr. sawed his foot off. In this one you hear it sawing through bone, flesh, vein, and you hear the blood splattering. This film is more disturbing, making you feel more like the character. Better than the first, but not by much.--9/10-- --Saw: The Original Short-- This is the short film that the writer and director both used to convince Lion Gate Films to make it. It is the Reverse Bear Trap scene, only with Leigh Whannell (writer) as the girl, only of course a guy. It is a good short, and it is very well directed and cut like a real film not a low budget hope-you'll-let-us-shoot-our-movie film. Good, and must see for fans of the movie. But other than that, it was okay but I don't care to watch over and over again.
