Are You Scared?
Yes, it's a rip-off of SAW... much like The Hillside Stranglers, Snakes on a Train, and The Child. Only it's better made then those. It's not amazing, nor is it completely terrible. Most people won't like it, but I did. The first half is boring, but it does have some cool traps (the twin drill trap) - once the twist comes in the second act, it gets more interesting. Good ending too, I thought. Very eerie. The acting was the only terrible thing I noticed - it's obvious the director has some talent. The camera angles were better then most B/C movies (expecially the overhead pans... suprised they had the lift to do those). The setting has very fake-looking. Like... the skies looked CGI, as well as all the lights on the traps. But it wasn't BAD CGI, it gave it a fantasy-like look. Atmospheric, if anything. Script was bad; stereotypical black male character was included.
Doesn't touch any of the SAW movies, but if you're a fan of those it's worth checking out.
