Aro Recommended Saw

 

USA 2004, 103 minutes
Dir. James Wan
Rating: [R18]
Genres: Horror / Serial Killers

 

Aroview: Acclaimed by many for its inventive serial-killer premise and sadistic delivery, this opens with Elwes and Whannell chained in a locked bathroom with instructions for one to kill the other, "or else!" Unfortunately, to do this they must first saw off their own feet...

This horrific situation is the creative work of The Jigsaw Killer, a nameless controller (until the finale) who seems intent on moralistically reminding his victims of the value of life (!), though detectives are hot on his trail. Deliriously macabre, this revives something of the claustrophobia of Roger Corman's Poe adaptations, with 21st century violence and technology. Though somewhat crude at times, it's recommended for all with strong stomachs.
