What Do You Think About the Saw Movies?

October 22, 2008

For any Saw (or Saw 2 through 4) fans out there, this Thursday some AMC theaters are showing a Saw marathon just before the fifth movie is released this Friday. Will you check this out at a theater near you?

I know many people who like the Saw movies (or at least the first one) even if they're not huge fans of the horror genre itself. For some, the psychological aspect makes the movies more interesting than your average gory flick. Do you agree? Is Saw different than others in the genre?

The "SAW" movies are just plain sicko evil. I would never pay money or waste the time to see them or anything like them. Evil concepts, evil thoughts, why put them in your head to begin with? Life is hard enough already without having that running around inside your head. It's like why eat spoiled food? Why watch porn? Why cut yourself? Why binge and purge? Some things you want to pass on without experiencing them in your life. Are you bored? Ride a bike or take a walk, but don't see movies like this. Peace, your guardian angel.

I went and saw it on Friday and I must say it was pretty stupid. They really need to quit already. I'm even more appalled that they have a reality show on tv to find the next scream queen for SAW 6. UGH!!!

i think the story line is good because its like live your life, you know? but for some people the gore is a little bit too much

I'm not a fan of gratuitous horror or violence in movies. The two Saw movies I've seen have been more psychological, suspenseful films. For fans of pure horror, which involves torture, rape, etc, I worry about. Young people especially have become desensitized to violence and that's not positive for anyone.

I saw the first one, I don't remember if I saw the second and/or third one, and I saw the fourth Saw! I want to see the fifth one since I saw the last one that came out...I wonder how many more they're going to make though.

Love the Saw movies, I mean I really like horror flicks but Saw is different and there is so much to consider and think about it really messes with your head lol.

I remember when the first one came out my brother borrowed it from some kid at school and I wouldn't watch it with him, and then he called me into his room during the part where the guy saws his leg off, and, usually i can handle a lot of gore, but I felt my stomach turn. Then when the other ones came out I wanted to see them but never did, then my cousin let me borrow, I think the 3rd one and I was really grossed out. So yeah.

I hate the movies. I've never seen them but I remember the first trailer. That clown looking dude scares me so bad. I have grown to hate every trailer for the Saw movies. Even though the most recent trailer is not as terrifying as the others.

I hate horror movies, but especially the ones that just go for the gore in order to scare. There are other movies that are way more psychologically disturbing, like silence of the lambs that didn't really need a ton of gore or jumpy moments.

The first one was BY FAR the best. The second one was even OK, and I could see the "want" to make it. But the rest? Well, it's just become kind of like the Friday the 13th franchise to me. You know, when you sit back and go, "What is it now, Friday the 13th part 1000000000000"?

First one was good, second was okay. The rest were stupid and beyond gory.

Every Saw Movie: First 30 minutes are all gore; Next hour is psychological dialogue and suspense; Last 30 minutes is all gore. I agree with blondie829, if they kept the psychological/suspense aspect of it and lost the shock-value-gore, I'd be way more into them. The third and fourth ones, I had to cover my eyes during the first and last 30 minutes because it gives me the heeby jeebies; but i still like the storyline!
