Review of Saw

Saw (2003)
5/10
Saw (the original short film)
20 April 2006
Warning: Spoilers
This film is only available on the special Uncut version of the brilliant horror thriller starring Leigh Whannell, Cary Elwes, Danny Glover and Monica Potter. Anyway, this is basically how the idea for the film Saw came along. Director James Wan and actor/writer Whannell created this short film as some sort of test. Whannell as David does what the character of Amanda would do in the full film, having a head trap that would snap her jaws open. So basically it's exactly the same as Amanda does in the full film where he cuts open a body to get a key to unlock the trap. Also starring Paul Moder as Cop, Katrina Mathers as Nurse and Dean Francis as Body. No where as good as the proper full film, but a good way to start the idea for one of the most gripping films I know. Worth watching!
