SAW (Theatrical Release USA 2004)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì

Saw—intense, edge of your seat psychological thriller—sets itself up for a sequel from the get-go. The film’s conclusion twists in such a radical manner that the viewer is left stunned while thinking, “What just happened?” The film serves the mature adult audience.
