Saw

Finding myself tired from Prom last night, I skipped the usual Saturday night routine of going out with friends and opted to stay at home with my family and watch Saw. My sister and others have generated great hype for this movie but I must say I was sorely disappointed.

First off, I found the premise of this movie very disturbing yet interesting at the same time. Added to the fact that I was "on the edge of my seat" for part of the movie, you might think that I would've like it. I didn't. The acting was horrible. Dr. Lawrence Gordon's acting reminded me of a corny Will Ferrellesk look and sound off of SNL. It wasn't convincing at all. Don't get me wrong, Will Ferrell is a God. But not someone I'd want to watch in a horror film.

I realize that not many movies are not made to have happy endings. At the same time, after watching Saw I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. This movie was a little too much for me, and needless to say I wouldn't recommend it. 5.0/10
