    A Horror Movie with a Plot? AMAZING

    by Horror15

    This is a true horror movie: plot, gore, suspense, the works. It is beautifully filmed and is easy to see why it did well at Sundance. Tobin Bell is excellent, and all of the plot runs fairly smoothly. You may need to watch it three or four times to catch everything, but in my opinion it's definately worth it. A great flick.

    Amazing.

    by ForlornSky

    What can I say, it is one of my favorite movies of all time. For its originality, extremely well put together plot, and a cast that goes deep, I can easily say, Best of All The Saws, and one of the best Crime/Mystery and Horror movies out there to date. And by the way, the ending will blow your mind.
