This is my first IMDb review, and I'll keep it short.
I watched this movie on the sci-fi channel during the never ending writers strike when nothing good was on TV. I expected it to be a poorly acted generic horror flick, which it was. The acting wasn't AWFUL, but it was far from good. The plot was really bland and predictable. It basically borrows from classic horror flicks (e.g. Children of the Corn) and doesn't contain much in the way of originality. Also, I am incredibly easily creeped out by horror movies, and this barely had an effect on me.
All in all, I wouldn't recommend it. It isn't scary, the acting and characters make you cringe constantly, and there isn't anything interesting about the story.

I've avoided watching Saw for years because I scare far too easily and I thought this movie would keep me awake at nights. Granted, it did give me nightmares, but it was worth it. Saw has an amazing original story, very interesting characters that you actually care about, and creeps you the *bleep* out. The villain, Jigsaw, is the best horror villain since Freddie (in my opinion) and the acting is fantastic. I mean, who DOESN'T love Cary Elwes?! Even though it was a bit hard to watch at times due to the gore and creepy parts, I found myself not turning away because I didn't want to miss a moment of action. Definitely a must-see.
