[Its] sadism is topped only by its absurdity.
Richard Roeper
Saw has art-house ambitions, but it's nothing but a glorified snuff film. I despised this movie.
Mike Clark
So over the top that even the recruited audience of non-critics at my screening began to howl.
Geoff Pevere
A strenuously morbid assembly of deranged-genius- serial-killer movie conventions cribbed from just about every popular post-Hannibal Lecter movie imaginable.
Desson Thomson
The Internet film geeks are salivating over this one. But humans who live above ground, including horror fans, will find themselves only fitfully entertained and more consistently appalled.
David Edelstein
An ingenious machine for inducing terror, rage, and paralyzing unease.

Jeff Shannon
A sick, twisted, deliriously entertaining horror thriller that rivals The Texas Chainsaw Massacre for sheer, relentless intensity.
User reviews
The original is always the best Really liked this movie because at the time it was very original and fresh. It messes with your head more than scares the crap out of you. A must see for horror movies.
SAW 1 is the best. SAW 1 IMO is the best one out of the series. I was sad to see it go as I looked forward to it every Halloween. This one is a MUST SEE and a CLASSIC without a doubt.
Best series ever Saw movies are the best. One of the most clever series ever made
Saw Aside from being an amazing horror film, Saw is one of the most significant movies (genre aside) of all time.

Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) might be dead, but his traps live on in this fifth Saw entry, which finds the series' production designer David Hackl at the helm for his debut directing gig. Costas Mandylor reprises his role as Hoffman, the detective whose involvement in the string of grisly murders turns out to be more than meets the eye. Picking up where the fourth entry left off, Hoffman is revealed to be a hidden accomplice in Jigsaw's grisly games of death, which look to be continued by the lawman. The plot bounces back and forth from the beginning of their relationship to the present, as Agent Strahm (Scott Patterson) delves farther into the case. Also in the cast are Dexter's Julie Benz and One Missed Call's Meagan Good as victims of another one of Jigsaw's lessons in morality. Saw IV scribes Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan return to pen the screenplay for the Twisted Pictures/Lionsgate co-production.

Buckling under the weight of his conscience after years of parting desperate believers with their money, Cotton and his crew plan to film a confessionary documentary of this, his last exorcism.
