Saw is very reminscent of the movie Seven. In Seven, the bad guy killed people or put them in a situation where they would die because the killer believed that they had sinned. In Saw, the bad guy has some life threatening disease so he goes out and puts people in situations in which they will most likely kill themselves, that way they will appreatiate life more. Yeah, it doesn't make all that much sense, but hey, it's a horror movie. You pretty much have to expect a lot of randomness and plot holes in horror movies and just take them as they are. Otherwise, you will end up always being annoyed. It took me awhile to finally get to the point where I could accept "The Ring" as it is and not think about my mental list of problems the movie had with it's plot and random happenings.
Mainly, Saw is worth watching because it has some pretty cool scenes in it and is entertaining. It isn't really "scary" or anything (although one part did scare me), so don't expect to get scared. Like I said, it is kind of like Seven.
3 1/2 stars out of 5 (or 4 stars if you were to judge only within the horror movie genre)
