Saw II - The sickest, most twisted movie...

Fëanor · #1 (**permalink**) 11-01-2005, 01:28 AM

I swear, this movie is the sickest, most intense, twisted exploration of the human psyche ever put on screen. Not much really gets to me, but this movie had a couple of parts that definitely made me shift uncomfortably in my seat (a girl being thrown into a giant hole full of needles [which are presumably full of heroin], for instance).

If I had seen this movie on shrooms, I would probably be cowering in a corner right now, unable to speak.

I can't say I really enjoyed the way it was shot, or that it was really a good movie as far as movies go, but the psychological trauma it throws at you is just crazy.

So I couldn't do my original Halloween plans, but seeing this movie makes me feel that I got plenty out of the holiday.

Ah yes, I wondered if it'd be as good as the first one. Sounds better though. It was shot around my area by a new and upcoming film studio so the directing isn't that experienced, but the script was probly dynamite. I'll have to see it!

Saw I was good because it played on the Asian "escape from the room" concept (for those that don't know, there are plenty of online games (mostly asian-made) that play on that same concept: You're locked in a room with a bunch of seemingly unrelated items and you have to figure out how to get out by doing all sorts of clues) except on a more deadly scale. Hopefully Saw II is as good.

i saw this movie on friday and i didnt really know what to expect having never seen the first one, but i thought it was a very good movie, i might have to go see the first one now, i like the plot of it, how the dude says that knowing you are going to die absolutely shatters your life and although thats a sick and twisted way to show people that they should cherish life, it still kinda gets the point across, to me at least, because you never know when your life is gonna end, or how its gonna end either

Haha, out of all those people neg, only 1 of them learned the lesson he wanted them to learn. His way of teaching them to cherish life actually made them hate it until they died.

It's fucked up, but it's good. You have to see the first one to fully appreciate it though. 2 picks up on so many small things form number one to blend them together, while also setup a 3rd. I loved it. The needle part made me crynge in my seat, and the dude who died involving fire (trying not to reveal anything)....movie was good to me.

I've havent seen the second one, but i saw the first one, and yes some parts were retarded, like when the guy cuts his leg off to get out, and him and the other guy have a little emo talk like i won't leave you behind, ill come back for you. Found that very funny.

looks like gimmicky crap to me but we'll see

Man on Fire was probably the craziest one I've seen based on concepts saw will probably be another attempt at horror judging by the first one

It's a matter of the reality within the piece making it scary and jigsaw just ain't scary imho when compared to a dude on a warpath

I didn't think Man on Fire was the least bit frightening...it was an action movie, I thought...

The scary part, to me at least, about Saw, is that there could actually be people who think like Jigsaw, who think they have the right to tell people that the way they are living their lives is wrong, who will do anything to correct those 'wrongs'...And the way the people react when inside, that's very likely what would happen...it's frightening.

Well jigsaw/ring/ect are all horror films but they just aren't scary

MoF had more realistic elements of 'pain' be it emotional or not it was damn harsh

Then again I know exactly how Creasy was feeling

I've been in that dark depressed funk only to be brought back then dropped again when the spark of light in my life was taken away by less extreme shit then what was in man on fire but more then enough to make it all hit home

Jist is I can understand why he snapped on every level so it's all the freakier/sadder to watch as he finds that special someone only to be thrust back into the darkness

Some psycho with no real motavation in a horror flick just doesn't shake me up lol
