The fourth opens with more medical gore, and is pretty splatter-tastic all the way through. The third opens with probably the most painful scene of all five movies, has a very real looking surgery bit and a lot of really fake other stuff, and a meat-machine scene might make you hurl for reasons other than gore. The second is not very gory at all (the "glass box" is extremely bloody, but not gory). Not at all.Īs far as gore goes, The first one is briefly gory during the "reverse bear trap" scene and at the end. I like watching the Saw movies on a Friday the 13th level, and mainly I like that I feel (with the exception of this last one) that the filmmakers are excited and invested in pleasing their core audience with a cool twist and some clever traps.īut they're definitely not scary. Certainly there are people who go to the Saw films for the kills, but I think that's true of almost any horror movie. It is the epitome of an outsider's opinion: anyone who actually watches the films in question, like the Saw movies, has their own reasoning, but to those who don't care to see the films, they just look like a string of torture scenes. It is generally applied by those who have never watched the entirety of any of the movies in question.
I haven't seen 4 or 5 (that's where they are now, right?), and from what I've read I'm not particularly anxious to.
While each following movie had enough of a wrinkle/twist to keep my interest, the emphasis did seem to shift to just coming up with gruesome traps. I found the series to have diminishing returns after that. It's nowhere near as good as those movies (for me, the story had holes and some acting moments fell flat), but I'd still give it an overall "thumbs up". Instead of movies like Ring and Grudge, it fits more in the category with movies like Seven and Silence of the Lambs. It actually has an interesting story/premise, rather than just being a torture/gore movie (the way a number of people seem to mistakenly think).
As mentioned by someone else here, it's not nearly as gory as its reputation.
Does Saw have that type of stuff or is it just a lot of fake blood and guts?Give the first one a shot. I'm not a big horror fan movie and hate movies like the Ring or the Grudge that have creepy kids that talk in a wierd voice or morph into a spider (or whatever). Never have watched any of the saw movies but have always been interested in the commercials as they show these Rube Goldberg type machines that kill people which sounds kind of cool.
