Saw was an incredible breakthrough for the genre in that it was one of the first majorly franchised movies in two decades.

I was very dissapointed with it..
I remember seeing the trailer in the cinema and the idea of making these ppl go thru these self damaging ordeals looked really original. I think i was conned into thinking it was a bigger budget slicker film and they definally made good use of their name star to make it look that way....
I thought one of the 2 guys chained at the beginning was the killer because his he was 'acting' scared (as opposed to acting badly)....
If I realised it was a low budget horror i might have been more forgiving of the acting etc.....that being said it wasn't a bad film and its effect on future 'horror' has been huge..
