Saw (2004)
Directed by James Wan
4.0/5EXECUTIONER "ACE"103 minQuick Hit
Saw plays like a head-trip horror piece—tense, gritty, with enough style to make the damage look beautiful.
Full Take
Saw leans hard into psychological horror energy, and James Wan keeps the tone tense without letting the movie drift. The craft is sharp, the mood is nasty, and the pressure keeps building until the whole thing snaps. It may not be for everybody, but it definitely has teeth.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
wtf 😳
