One of the most original and scary horror movies I have seen in ages! It was totally not what I was expecting. Based on the cover, and on what little I knew, I thought it would include a killer who would torture his victims, cutting off limbs and stuff. For the record: I was totally wrong. From the start of the movie onwards, you are constantly wondering what is going. As you figure things out, bit by bit, at the same time as the two main characters do, things become more and more grim. I love the psychology element of this movie - and I can see why people compare it to Se7en. It has the same sort of cat-and-mouse game between the killer and Brad Pitt's character. Another thing that surprised me, is that it's nowhere near as gory as I thought it would be. It has a few gory flashes, but the majority of it is left up to your imagination. Which, sometimes, can be even worse, because what I dream up in my head, what they don't show, is probably as bad as anything. :P But yes, again for the record, you don't see as much gore in this as you'd expect. They cut away a lot of times just when it's starting to get really gory. Don't let the DVD cover fool you, this is as much a psychological thriller as it is a horror movie. It is grim and gritty like Se7en, and there is a lot more to it than hack-n-slash gore. I don't want to say too much more about it, because I don't want to give away any of the surprises in the movie, but trust me, it is good. Awesome!Read full review
I am a big fan of the horror genre and the murder/mystery genre. This movie is a good combination of both genres. A lot of people are saying that it is a seven wannabe and so on. While watching this movie I did not think of Seven. To me this movie stood out on it's own. I thought the cinematography was really cool in this movie. The suspense was gripping and jaw dropping in some scenes. I do agree with some of the other reviewers that the acting was somewhat cheezy and bad but come on now. Most acting in horror movies is cheezy and over the top. I don't think that acting in this movie was as bad as acting you would find in a B horror movie. This movie was unapologetic and in your face. It seemed like while you were watching it, it didn't care if you thought it was over the top and didn't want to monitor itself. That's what I loved about it. The ending surprised me. Interesting movie throughout and is worth the ticket price. If you liked this movie rent or buy Cube. If you liked Cube go see this movie. If you have a weak stomach and you are not into serial killer movies this isn't the movie for you.Read full review
Be prepared to be scared. James Wan's directorial debut, written by and starring Leigh Whannell, is a violent, bloody, psychologically exhausting and exhilarating exercise in terror. Adam and Dr. Gordon are chained in a vile, disgusting bathroom, separated by a bloody corpse holding a gun and a tape recorder. They are each given a saw--the only obvious way out is to cut one of their feet off. A serial killer who specialises in torturing morally bereft strangers is playing a game with them: Gordon has less than eight hours to kill Adam or else the doctor's wife and daughter will be murdered. As the two men engage in a battle of wits, alternately trying to help each other or secretly attempting to win the game, a series of flashbacks reveals the history of the madman and the pair of detectives are handling the case. Some of the torture scenes are excruciatingly horrible and hard to watch, a real treat for fans of the genre. Inspired by the work of David Lynch and Dario Argento Wan has created a scintillating suspense thriller that will have audiences continually shocked, repelled, frightened, and surprised, right up to the very last second (which Whannell has said was influenced by the endings of different films. The accompanying heavy metal soundtrack is appropriately scary as well.Read full review
A great little concept - two dudes wake up in a room, both chained to either side of the room, no clue as to how they got there, and a body in the middle of the floor. But that's where the greatness ends, and where the cack film begins. Yeh it keeps you guessin, and yeh i never sussed the ending.... but there's a reason for that... in my humble humble opinion, there was NO way you could've guessed the outcome?! It was like the laughable 'ooh it's her' ending of Scream 2... Real potential, but a bit of a timewaste... I knew seeing so many good movies the last couple of months was bound to pay off with a ton of cack. Oh, and Danny Glover turns in a career worst with an unfeasably silly subsonic deep voice.
