, the film stars Cary Elwes as a kidnapped oncologist who is told he must murder a fellow abductee or the doctor’s wife and daughter will be killed. Elwes’ character eventually hacks off his own foot in an attempt to escape.
Though the film plays at both the Sundance and Toronto film festivals, the movie is savaged by many critics. “Ebert & Roeperthat “the back-shelf-of-the-video-store horror geek in me was intermittently entertained” by the movie, but that Wan’s film is “also derivative and messy and too nonsensical for its own good.”
Wan and Whannell’s fictional nightmare strikes a chord with a country still reeling from the 9/11 attacks and dealing with a new conflict in Iraq, which began the previous year. The low-budget film grosses more than $100 million worldwide and will spawn a half-dozen sequels in the following six years, making the film’s primary villain, Jigsaw , a bona fide horror icon.
Saw 1, still the best . Saw 2 close.The rest suck.
