Saw

OK, this weekend, I saw "Saw." Quite a good movie. It was well directed and the writing was top-notch. Yeah, to be fair, it was a fairly straightforward thriller with cliches and old tricks, but the direction, writing, acting, and especially the cinematography pushed it past being another ordinary horror film. It has a couple of really good scares, and the tension hardly (if ever) lets up. It's gruesome, and at times hard to watch, but in the end, I came out with a renewed faith in the horror genre. It's not dead yet, baby! Highly recommended for those of you who weren't kept up all night by "Silence of the Lambs."
