It takes a lot for me to write a review. I try to write reviews that are positive and critical. But, as you well know by now, I have nothing good to say about SAW. I have to say that this film ranks as one of the worst movies out there. I was paralyzed with fear....knowing someone agreed to finance this monster. This movie was 100% predictable. How can anyone be afraid when you know what's about to happen? Please don't get me started on the camera work. This movie is a sad reminder than many of these new directors spent their youth watching too much Mtv for inspiration rather than investing their time in watching films directed by talented individuals.

I would rather the audience spend their money renting "The Shining" or at least donating the eight dollars to a worthy cause.

If you want to be scared by new a recent film, I propose watching "The Others."

I am just one of many thousands who writes reviews on this wonderful website, and my opinion has no weight, but please believe me, this film will be a waste of your wonderful time.

I don't understand how most of the comments on this film are positive. I enjoy most of Hitchcock's films, few indeed, and Frenzy is not one of them. Hitchcock throws, yet again, another one of his "man-caught- in-the -middle-of=something-he-can't-control" themes such as "North by Northwest" (which I did not enjoy) and "The 39 Steps." Frenzy has no memorable lines, and only the hallway shot is worthy of recall. Besides that, there was nothing compelling about any of the characters. It seemed to me that the detectives' wife was the only interesting person in this whole film. It could have been better, and according to the title awarded to Hitchcock as being "the master of suspense" it should have been better. Alas, it was disappointing. I recommend The Birds, Psycho, and Rope

A great documentary on a terrifying subject: Nuclear war and the lack of information of it. At times I found myself chuckling at some of the footage, sometimes I sang along to the tunes present in the film, yet, without a doubt, I was overtaken by fear. Fear of knowing that our government fed its citizens wrong information. It made me wonder what else the government is keeping from us? Will we see a documentary, fifty years from now, called Germ Cafe? I hope not. If you can, please watch this movie. There's enough dark comedy in this film to make it easy to watch. Without this element of humor, Atomic Cafe would be too depressing and nerve wrecking to view. Just remember to "Duck and Cover." A recommended film concerning this subject is "Dr. Strangelove, or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb."
