Review: Saw

Penguin December 30th, 2007

Rating: 3/4 stars

Saw spawned a franchise which is as regular as Halloween. It’s one of the few franchises where each iteration makes more than the previous one. You should watch it for no other reason than it being culturally significant.

It’s also a testament to how powerful strong concepts are. And even though the premise seems like it would lend itself to a lot of gore, there is surprisingly little blood. And I would like to say that I really enjoyed it, but there were parts that were kind of boring. You would think a movie that’s supposed to be tense and thrilling, just kind of plods along. Maybe Ninja’s right, I’m just too desensitized.
