MY Favorite Horror Movie

"Horrible acting aside, it's the kind of Halloween treat that'll have you checking your backseat after leaving the theater..."


SAW I. II. III. IV, V

I Just watch SAW V last night...
It attracts me. Most attracts part is "Jigsaw" establishment all the trap. Like the rules, it is going to take a lot of fire power to keep this victim and down and make sure he stays down once and for all!


Saw I is a 2004 American horror film, the first installment of the Saw film series. Directed by James Wan and written by Wan and Leigh Whannell, Saw was filmed during only eighteen days of production. It was first shown at the Sundance Film Festival in early 2004 and saw international release later that year on October 29. Saw is essentially an expansion of Wan and Whannell's 2003 short film of the same name. The film's story revolves around two men who are kidnapped and trapped locked in an industrial bathroom with a dead body between them and given instructions related to escaping. Meanwhile, police detectives investigate and attempt to apprehend the criminal responsible, the "Jigsaw Killer".
