Saw: The Films

So I watched Saw with my mom, and it ocurred to me that Saw is a director's way of taking games and making them more brutal. Let's consider a scene where a guy is trying to unlock a padlock to get a woman free. On said padlock is a code, and the answer to the code is engraved on the guys teeth (two of the teeth). In order to crack the code, he must wrench out his teeth with plyers. It almost reminds me of the popular childhood game of deciding which two objects would have the correct items to finish a given task.
Well, that's all from me.

I personally haven't seen these films (though they are audio-described), due to them being extremely goary. SAW just isn't my kind of film, I'm more a fan of drama/adventure with many plot-twists, ocationally some comedy.

The first three were really good. After that, they started getting ridiculous. But that can be said of just about every series of movies past the third one.
The second is my favorite, because of the backstory, and it explains why the guy is the way he is and why he kidnaps people. I remember when I saw that, I was about 14, and I was struck by how sick yet logical what he was doing was.

i remember first watching the first Saw when I was twelve. My cousins and I stayed up all night, watching the gorefest. I am not sure which my mother and I watched, but it either was the third or fourth one. And I still love them to this day.

Try writing to them and telling them that the link is down.

They seem to be having issues over there, as some of their movies download incompletely. Or if they do, a huge chunk of the file is silent.

That doesn't surprise me. I haven't downloaded anything from there in awhile. I wonder, though, if you're having issues because you're using a free Sendspace account? If you don't pay for pro, you'll get terrible download speeds, and if your connection drops, you can't resume the download. What you're talking about sounds a lot like incomplete downloads, but it could be the movies themselves being defective. I never liked that site, it's way too disorganized.

Never seen, or rather heard them. I'm more into zombie flicks like Dead Alive, which was directed by none other than Peter Lord Of The Rings Jackson. Supposedly, it's the gorriest movie ever made. Even if you have no vision, some of the sounds are just over the top disgusting.

I agree, first 3 Saw movies were the best. I liked the second just for the storyline, I am very into those creepy/gorey movies.
