We watched Saw 3 last night and it was VERY good. Alot more gruesome than the others but it closed up the series really well and it explained several things about the first one that I had always questioned.

One of the things that I had problems with in the first one is that Jigsaw, although crazy, had a moral basis for his actions and honored his agreements with his victims: If you survive the game you will live and be let free. But the two guys from the first movie died. The saw was left for them to cut their own feet off so they could escape. Cary Elwes does that but yet, he dies. Jigsaw tells Adam at the end of the first one that the key to his shackles is on the chain of the drain stopper and it was hanging down the drain but it wasn't. It washed down the drain in the very first scene of the movie.

So I saw a conflict there. He honors his agreement yet these two guys died? They were set up for failure. Saw 3 explains why.

PM me as to why. I'm not watching the movie. I can't stomach it. But I would like to know why.

I had my fill of absolutely pointless and utterly silly gore with that last Texas Chainsaw movie.

I'm not watching it either but I'm not too concerned with the why things were done. I think the whole concept is taking things a little too far.

Saw has to be a heck of a lot milder then faces of dearh Yes, I watched an episode of it in the military and can not believe they made more then 1 episode of the series

I've never watched that either. I can watch certain movies but once you get a combination of stuff going it crosses a line for me.

Your lucky you never watched it as it would probably give you nightmares Basically if you don't know what it is, it's a sort of documentation of the various faces of death

Real death and not the hollywood type made up stuff. It was pretty brutal.

I see no need to watch that kind of stuff, life is real enough without watching real death.

I no longer will watch it now either but when I was in the military it was all the rage to have watched an episode of it Yes we were young and stupid then

Yes we were all young and stupid once.....or 10 times .....or more.

Speaking of Stupid I am going to take a nap since my folks are sleeping in and now is a good time to take one so I wont be bothered I am a little tired since I woke up at 3 am

People should be waking up soon to keep you company So I don't feel too bad leaving you

What does stupid have to do with taking a nap? Enjoy, and I shall see you later.

I am stupid from lack of sleep

hugs

Faces of Death used to be so taboo because it was banned but now it's nothing. It's cheasy, bad 70's camera shots of death. Come on. One idiot gets mauled by a grizly bear in front of his family because he decides he wants to feed the cute bear. Well...not only did he feed the bear but he removed his faulty genes from the pool.

Slasher movies I can watch but real life stuff is too much for me.

After being in Law Enforcement for 10 years I started to develop a mind set. Once I viewed SAW 1, All I could think of was that we don't have enough crazy people in the world as it is, now we are going to induldge their fantasy and provide a whole new way for them to torture inocent people. Trust me someone out there is already thinking of how he or she can duplicate some of these senarios.

My wife loves this stuff and if she had a choice she would watch it all of the time. She is an EMT and I let her go with me to do a welfare check on a elderly man one time. He had been dead for three days and had purged. I can smell that room just talking about it. I thought that would have cured her but no!

I am sorry I should not have posted that it was gross.

I won't speak for the others, but things like that don't bother me. I've got a strong stomach and I'm hard to offend.

I hate horror movies. They just gross me out.

Oddly enough, I love horror books.

I like Horror movies as long as they are scarey and not stupid like where the killer uses a chainsaw and all you see is the blood spraying all over

I like horror movies with a supernatural hint to them

I like scary movies that don't have a black cat jump out of a closet or have characters come out of nowhere with a loud "scary" sound playing.

Then again perhaps they aren't horror movies. I find ghosts or other scary stuff just appearing in the background with no indication that anything has happened or the character knowing about it more frightening or rather eerie. I watched a scary movie with someone and they didn't notice half the things happening, even though they still found it scary. I was paying attention to every detail and kept noticing certain dead people walking by or someone hiding off in a corner where the main action was happening elsewhere. While I wasn't really scared, I had goosebumps throughout the film. Though the most freaky was of this girl looking around then she turns toward the camera and starts walking and for a second or two we see a man hanging from the ceiling as she is moving. Since the girl moving has your attention, you don't really pay attention to the stuff in the background and thus you only see it out of the corner of your eye.

That's what really freaked me out about the sixth sense. The school, the graveyard, the girl running her hands down the sheet, the woman in the kitchen. Jeez..

I can't believe that I still have not managed to see that movie.

I'm with Trallyus. Stupid horror with chainsaw-weilding maniacs is not scary. It's usually funny, in that sick way. I love good horror like Psycho and The Silence of the Lambs. Those movies left so much to the imagination, and that is what made both true classics.

I agree with everything you said except for Psycho. It just didn't do anything for me....then again I'm not a big fan of old movies just for the sake of it.
I guess you could say I like a lot of different types so long as they're good, I watched one with Demi Moore recently that kept me thinking and watching and that is a good sign....not what I expected from her.

I really enjoy visually firghtening movies. Ring and Grudge were visually freaky as hell. Saw is scary in that it's something that could happen and it makes you feel the pain of the victims.

That's why I won't be watching it. There are more things than we imagine that are possible but we don't hear about them in the news so movies like The Ring are right up my alley.

For me, the first movie was good. I really liked it. It was more psychological than at least the 2nd. But the second movie, I think its main purpose was to up the gore factor. The only good thing I felt to come from the 2nd movie was Tobin Bell (I love his acting style...he's so creepy). And besides, the twist in the original is 10 times better than in the second.
I dunno if I wanna see the 3rd one, because everybody says that it's gorier than the 2nd movie, and that was just disgusting.

But the plot is much better and the ending is great.

My coworker says there will be a Saw 4. He really likes the Saw movies. I have begun questioning his sanity.
