The Saw movies didn't really scale me, I've seen them all. I love horror and scary movies, as long as they don't have demons. Recently I started taking a new medicine to stop smoking called chantix. I only took it once because later that night the movie Saw became real. I had a dream so real I can remember every detail. My parents were being tortured in their basement in weird contraptions that couldn't be removed. I had my first panic attack in this dream and woke up crying soaked in sweat with my heart pounding. I don't watch Saw any more and will never take that medicine again.
I think Saw is a cult classic that definitely has some staying power (I think no one will forget the doll and the famous line, "Let's play a game"). I'm not into the 3D aspects of it, I don't care for 3D in general and I don't think it adds anything to any movie. The sequels are not as good as the original, but the first Saw is interesting to watch. I never saw the plot twist coming.
I was looking forward to completing the Saw movies this weekend. I know the series of movies has gotten progressively worse (ever since the 3rd one, I think it's just been about creative ways to kill people rather than the mystery behind the story).
The 7th movie was a huge let down, not only was there very little connection to the previous movies (they actually changed some of the original information) the characters developed into killers rather than just being really messed up "angels of death". The biggest disappointment though was how terrible the graphics and special effects were. Saw is supposed to be all about the gross out factor and this one looked like it was made in the late 90's. I didn't have to cover my eyes nearly as much as I did in the other films - instead I found myself laughing.
Not worth it!
