Saw

This is one of my favorite recent horror movies. I consider it horror at least. It's not a remake and a competely new idea. I really like how the victims have a chance to live if they choose too. Watching it, there are really no times where it doesn't have your attention. Very clever and well writen film. Not to mention the great acting and effects. A must see! 4.5 / 5
