| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Saw |
|---|
Imagine waking up in a filthy, windowless bathroom, chained at the ankle to the pipe. Across from you lies another unfortunate in the same predicament. A blood-soaked corpse lies in between. The body holds a gun in one hand and a tape player in the other. Of course, planted tapes eventually reveal it's a sick “game,” in which one must kill the other by 6pm or lose his family. The (serial) Jigsaw Killer has planned a deadly "game".
--Angry Jim Magin, Resident Scholar
