As far as Hollywood horror movies go - Saw (released in 2004) is such a dismal, little "nose-picker" that it makes The Blair Witch Project look worthy of an Oscar by comparison. Saw is so inexplicably anal in its focus (it was filmed mainly within the unbearable confines of a filthy lavatory, which included a toilet brimming over with rotting feces) that it makes The 6th Sense make sense. It's so obvious that the makers of Saw were deliberately trying way, way too hard to surpass all other twisted serial-killer movies with this one. I really can't believe that there are, indeed, 6 horrendous sequels to Saw. Each one is clearly intended to out-do its predecessor in the depravity and gore department by leaps and bounds. Personally, I don't get the Saw character's approach to teaching people how to "appreciate" life at all. First off, what the hell is it to him that people don't appreciate life the way he thinks they ought to? They didn't appear to be hurting others anywhere near to the way that Saw hurt people. It looked to me like Saw viewed himself as being some kind of a "Saviour" who must rescue our wayward society. And, Saw must bring all citizens to salvation through the use of brute-force, torture, humiliation and murder. Hello? - Is this the new, cure-all, psycho-therapy for the reckless, life-scoffing, brats of Generation-X?.... I mean, does one really, truly "appreciate" life after a session of psychotic-brutality with Saw? (If you must find out - Watch this movie at your own risk)
