	Saw \| film reviews \| musicOMH.com
		The killer saw his crimes as being 'sociologically important', and his victims were people that society could continue to function and be better without.
		The killings in Saw are committed in order to force his victims to look at their lives and see where they have gone wrong, hence the tape or video message left behind explaining his motives.
		Saw is one hell of a horror film that ranks alongside Se7en for terrifying realism, and with Halloween for an evil yet totally engrossing bogeyman.

	Saw
		The film Saw had a lot of hype that it was the next Seven, the films did have one thing in common, they both began with the letter ‘S’.
		Saw is a film that borrows heavily from far greater films without having the ability to provide something unique or really innovative.
		In a thriller or horror film it is good to jump in the time line to keep the audience guessing but here it was like a spice that was over used in an otherwise interesting meal.

	Saw II \| film reviews \| musicOMH.com
		Saw II is more or less the same as its predecessor, but it takes the storyline one step further into even more morally repugnant territory - there are plenty of scenes in the sequel that could easily make the more squeamish audience member violently sick.
		One of the reasons why Saw II grips the viewer so much are Jigsaw's ingenious methods of manipulating both his victims and the police, which often bring to mind Hannibal Lecter.
		Perhaps Saw II's downfall is that the eight characters chosen for Jigsaw's deadly plan are completely unlikeable, and therefore it's very difficult to actually give a damn either way about their fate.

	The Film Asylum Review - Saw (Leigh Whannell, Cary Elwes)
		The cleverness of this film is not just in its various twists and turns but in the fact that the villain, aptly nicknamed ‘The Jigsaw’ cannot actually be accused of murder, however he does create the scenario leaving the player to puzzle it out for themselves.
		This is one of those films that doesn't need to rely on its musical content and to be honest although it is more than an adequate compliment to the film it is not essential.
		The film goes out of its way to explain in greater detail the reasons behind the somewhat obsessive nature of Detective Tapp and his encounter with the malefactor which not surprisingly has unexpected results too.

	Hour.ca - Film - Movie details - Saw 2
		Despite the genre trappings that the 1st film had to subscribe to as "shortcuts" - it was essentially a character study of these 2 men locked up together in a tiny, dirty room - just awaiting the horrors before them.
		With all the hype and publicity that this suprise summer smash got for their last film, it would be assumed that the second would not be able to top it.
		I liked "Saw", flaws and all, but it just would have been far more potent had it remained a stand-alone project and not the founding installment of a series as it seems it's now going to be.

	Saw III Movie Review - The Hollywood News
		In Saw III, Jigsaw's back for another round of grisly games, and in a nifty bit of plot development, most of the major characters are connected in some way or another.
		While the torture aspect of the film is very much in keeping with the previous installments, the film makers have found a way to cleverly move the story forward.
		Saw III is also a crowd pleaser of sorts, most notably if you're a big fan of gore.

	Saw II (2005)
		The first Saw film was one of the largest grossing independent horror films ever, costing only 1 million dollars to make and "saw" a 50 million dollar profit at the US box office alone.
		He fashions himself a sort of life-giving vigilante and the film seems to be on his side, resulting in a sick and vicious underlying philosophy.
		Saw II excoriates the audience with blood-soaked depravity, but torturing characters we know nothing about and don't care for is mere silliness, a form of pornography, simply substituting blood for other fluids.

	Saw : filmcritic.com Movie Review
		The Saw trailer almost made me soil myself, and that was just from watching it in a 2-inch-wide screen at my desk and in broad daylight.
		Saw’s story is high-concept and tantalizing: A madman is forcing strangers to play sick games as some form of punishment: A wrist-slashing suicide survivor is forced to burrow through a room full of razor wire or else he’ll be entombed in the chamber.
		Some of the film is truly thrilling, but by and large it’s the usual dude-in-a-closet kind of scares, relying on a captured child and wife (Monica Potter, hitting a personal all-time low for acting ability) to manufacture suspense.

		Saw II Detective Matthews' son Daniel is one of the people locked up in the booby-trapped house.
		Saw II is the sequel to the highly touted horror film of 2004.
		Saw II continues the new style of horror plot first shown in the original Saw where the characters become responsible for their own demises by the clever planning and understanding of human nature devised by the master villain Jigsaw.

	FilmEdge.net's movie review of SAW III
		SAW III certainly delivers it mandatory buckets of gory violence and bone-cracking traps —; if not taking them to their series extreme — and if that's all you want from the film then you might be satisfied to your bloody heart's content.
		The horrific punch of the first SAW film was that the story forced characters to make seemingly impossible choices, literally asking them to sacrifice limb in order to save life.
		In short, it's both Jigsaw's and the film's mistake to put his life and lessons in Amanda's shaky hands since she's bound to fumble the ball on both accounts — but this is the filmmakers' error, not Smith's.

	Saw III
		Saw III’s approach to the “game” is somewhat similar to Saw’s game, in that it doesn’t involve a house of pain involving a large group of victims, but two victims, both somehow related, fighting to survive.
		Saw III is easily the best horror film of the year, one of the best I’ve ever seen, and a fantastic conclusion to the best horror series ever.
		However, I don’t just love Saw III because of its intense sequences, but the film is quite satisfying in terms of its characters and their interactions, the storyline itself, and the jaw-dropping conclusion.

	Saw
		The film isn't scary in the slightest, thinking that epileptic camerawork is a canny replacement for actual anxiety, and though there's some John Dickson Carr pleasure in the locked-room conundrum that opens the piece, by the end the film has become something like a wilting hothouse melodrama about the importance of family.
		Saw is outrageously stupid and, in its heart of hearts, more than a little desperate.
		Adam screams and thrashes and acts like a screenwriter in his own film (for another example of this, miss Unspeakable, also co-starring Dina Meyer) for whom I suspect the Word is sacrosanct whether or not it's particularly well-written.

	Blu-ray review of Saw IV (Unrated Director's Cut) - DVDTOWN.com
		Anyhow, I fully expected the "Saw" franchise to end after Jigsaw´s reign of terror ended, but the series´; producers have found a new and unique angle to continue with the story and have even set the stage for the fifth film, which is in production at the time of this review´s writing.
		However, "Saw IV" does have an interesting angle to tell its new tale of torture and although I was first puzzled at the ending of this latest installment, it made complete sense after I let it sink in for a short while.
		The "Saw" films are a money making machine and while they are far from predictable, they are films that rely heavily on their own past to entertain and provide plot twists.

	Film-Forward Review: [SAW]
		The film has a gritty look, more like a psychological thriller than a standard horror picture.
		Director of photography David A. Armstrong warrants praise for two distinct scenes where the screen is almost completely fl sans a dull blue glow on the contortions of a man’s face.
		Music composer Charlie Clouser’s energetic arrangement at the end of the film is terrifying and blood-pumping.

	SAW Chemical Microsensor Arrays
		Our SAW devices use piezoelectric quartz as a substrate; they operate in the 100-MHz regime, relying on two interdigital transducers to launch and detect a wave that travels from one end of the device to the other (Figure 1).
		When coated with a chemically selective thin film, the SAW device is rendered sensitive to chemicals that interact with the film.
		Combination of the appropriate self-assembled monolayer film (Figure 2) with a SAW device results in a chemical microsensor that distinguishes between chemical weapons simulants such as DIMP and common interferants such as organic solvents and water.

	Saw IV the Movie

		Well here is a suggestion for a new beginning: Man, who is a film critic by trade, wakes in a man sized fish tank that is surrounded by TV screens.
		There is a single water valve in the opposite corner of the tank, but there is a chain attached to his testicles preventing him from ever reaching the valve.

	The Film Asylum Review - Saw II (Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith)
		SAW II Saw II is superior to its predecessor in every way, shape, and form.
		Good composition (in conjunction with Saw's original cinematographer David Armstrong), good pace, and a good grimy atmosphere set the stage perfectly for the actors to do their thing.
		Bousman and co-writer Leigh Whannell (who co-scripted and took a staring role as Adam in the first Saw) have produced a script that is more intelligent this time around with better dialogue and much sharper character definition.

	Saw II - Review Hollywood North Report
		Like the first Saw film, this new chapter also relies heavily on scenes of planned & constructed horror that work on instilling a lot of infallible tension, as opposed to completely making logical sense in the whole scheme of things.
		In this new chapter, the devious serial killer from the first Saw is back, this time he’s kidnapped the teenage son of a burned-out detective (Wahlberg) and has trapped him inside a house with six other kidnap victims.
		And though not a huge fan of this myself, I was very pleased to find that not only did this not detract from Saw II — in fact, it did the job that any good editing is supposed to do for a film — it enhanced it.

	indielondon.co.uk - film - Saw, preview
		IT IS being hailed as one of the most original serial killer thrillers since Se7en, and is set to make a name for its young director, James Wan, a native Australian who could well emerge as one of the most exciting prospects of the year.
		Saw is an intricate tale about a viciously intelligent game being executed by a criminal genius, who is keen to teach his victims the value of life.
		When the lead character, Adam, regains consciousness at the beginning of the film, after nearly being drowned at the bottom of a bathtub, he finds himself chained to a rusty pipe inside a dark torture chamber.

	FILM ROTATION : V5 - A Blog For Film-Geeks!
		Some films go onto the realm of infamy not so much for what was shot on film, but how it was perceived by society.
		Saw is not even horror (a distinction more savvy fans would find obvious but for the masses this is probably not so clear), it's just a luke warm thriller that chews up Seven and other thrillers and produces nothing much.
		Even though the film is ambiguous, he seems like he had complete control of what he wanted out of the film, and given the structure of it I imagine he felt quite free in his creative freedom.

	CineGeek (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In this film the conniving puppet wielding serial killer is back to make those who don't deserve the life they've been given lose it.
		This film still doesn't compare to many of the Asian films we cover here at CineGeek, which do bang up box office by the way, but it is a step in that direction.
		Also, I know this film is low budget but it sure seemed like the trapped victims kept going up and down the same hallway throughout the film with some different pictures on the wall here and there.

	SAW - Film Reviewed by Smogo (Site not responding. Last check: )
		From this point, the movie cuts between the duo's predicament as the clock ticks towards 6pm, and flashbacks to the police investigation of Jigsaw's crimes, for which Lawrence himself was once a prime suspect.
		As SAW, James Wan's debut feature, drew towards a close, I was all set to write a review slagging it off for its copious plot holes and reliance on cheap, illogical thrills.
		SAW is at its best when its scenes are allowed to play out in real time over a duration of several minutes (you know, like in a normal film), as at the beginning before the flashbacks begin, and the final reel, in which the flashbacks more-or-less stop and the movie builds to its action-packed conclusion.
