Closed Captioned; Additional Footage; Soundtrack English Be prepared to be scared. James Wan's directorial debut, written by and starring Leigh Whannell, is a violent, bloody, psychologically exhausting and exhilarating exercise in terror. Adam (Whannell) and Dr. Gordon (Cary Elwes) are chained in a vile, disgusting bathroom, separated by a bloody corpse holding a gun and a tape recorder. They are each given a saw--the only obvious way out is to cut one of their feet off. A serial killer who specializes in torturing morally bereft strangers is playing a game with them: Gordon has less than eight hours to kill Adam or else the doctor's wife (Monica Potter) and daughter (Mackenzie Vega) will be murdered. As the two men engage in a battle of wits, alternately trying to help each other and secretly attempting to win the game, a series of flashbacks reveals the history of the madman and the pair of detectives (Danny Glover and Ken Leung) handling the case. Some of the torture scenes are excruciatingly horrible and hard to watch, a real treat for fans of the genre. Inspired by the work of David Lynch (BLUE VELVET, TWIN PEAKS) and Dario Argento (SUSPIRIA, INFERNO), Wan has created a scintillating suspense thriller that will have audiences continually shocked, repelled, frightened, and surprised, right up to the very last second (which Whannell has said was influenced by the endings of such films as THE USUAL SUSPECTS and THE SIXTH SENSE). The accompanying heavy metal soundtrack is appropriately scary as well. Saw Reviews: "[SAW] does a better-than-average job of conveying the panic and helplessness of men terrorized by a sadist in a degrading environment..."-- Stephen Holden, New York Times "SAW is a gristle-cut B psycho thriller that would like to tap the sickest corners of your imagination."
-- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly "SAW is gripping exploitation, laughing off claims to seriousness while giving its audience a more pungent ride than recent mainstream offerings."
-- Andrew Osmond, Sight and Sound "Utterly nihilistic and relentlessly tense, SAW is a must for horror freaks."
-- Peter Relic, Rolling Stone Ranked #9 in Rolling Stone's "Top 25 DVDs Of 2005' -- "First-time director James Wan and screenwriter Whannell have a way with splatter. Better duck."

Saw Movie Review Average Rating: (3.8 out of 5 stars)    List All Reviews What I thought then and what I think NOW?? When I seen the first saw movie a couple of years ago I wasn't that inpressed. To be honest basically I thought it was just a bunch of crap and 100% pure sick, But now I think different about the movie.
I seen saw 2 and thought it was better than the first and began to like it. So somehow and don't ask me how I've went from not liking saw whatsoever to becoming quite a huge fan of it.
Now I love them but I still think saw 2 is much better
Can't wait for saw 3. Submitted by Steven. U.K. Movie reviewer. (U.K. United Kingdom, England.) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful.
One of the best movies in years I haven't seen a movie this good in a long time but Saw was really good, it was creepy, it was sort of disgusting at times and it had a perfect twist. Not bad for a torture flick, I also reccommend the sequels (except the 4th installment) they are good aswell. Submitted by buzzsaw4 (Sydney, Australia) Was This Review Helpful?

Saw film
$9.79 Mutrux's crude cult classic answer to AMERICAN GRAFITTI and ANIMAL HOUSE follows the comic exploits of the Hollywood Knights, a rowdy, prank-happy car club, and their screwball leader Newbomb Turk (Wuhl). When a group of Beverly Hills preppies decide to run the déclassé pranksters out of town by closing down their hang-out--Tubby's Drive-in--the 'Knights (featuring a young Danza and Pfeiffer) unleash a chaotic string of practical jokes in retaliation, culminating in a hell-raising Halloween free-for-all. Long enjoying cable TV-fed cult status, the film's video release was held up for years due to music rights.

| | Saw II DVD (2005) Widescreen; DTS Sound
Saw DVD
$7.05 In SAW, a huge horror hit in 2004, a masked man called Jigsaw orchestrated the kidnapping of two people, chained them in a disgusting bathroom in an abandoned warehouse, and played vicious, brutal mind games with them that potentially could lead to their freedom. Jigsaw is back for more gory fun in SAW II, but this time he comes out from behind the mask to terrorize a troubled cop face-to-face. Tobin Bell reprises his brief role as Jigsaw in the first film with a major starring turn in the sequel. Dying of cancer, Jigsaw lets himself get caught, only to show Detective Eric Matthews (Donnie Wahlberg) that his son, Daniel (Erik Knudsen), has been taken hostage with seven other people, all of whom have been placed in a house of horrors with only the slimmest chance of escaping with their lives. Jigsaw promises Matthews that Daniel will live only if the cop follows the rules of the game, but time is running out, as the captives' bodies have been poisoned with a toxin that will soon destroy them. Meanwhile, in the dank, mysterious, booby-trapped house, the ever-more-desperate group of people (including Shawnee Smith, who is back as Amanda, the lone survivor of SAW) furiously try to find their connection to each other and a way out, but blood and violence lie in their path. Like its predecessor, SAW II is a frightening thriller filled with plenty of tricks and treats to satisfy even the most jaded horror fan.
Jigsaw is back. The brilliant, disturbed mastermind who wreaked havoc on his victims in last year's Saw is back for another round of horrifying life-or-death games. Donnie Wahlberg, Beverly Mitchell, Dina Meyer, Emmanuelle Vaugier, Shawnee Smith, and Tobin Bell star. Extras include audio commentary with director and stars, props, deconstructing Jigsaw's traps, animated storyboards and concept art, and more.
| | Hills Have Eyes DVD (2006) Widescreen; Dubbed; Subtitled; Unrated
Saw movie DVD
$9.69 With his 2006 remake of Wes Craven's 1977 slasher THE HILLS HAVE EYES, French director Alexandre Aja manages to accomplish what many directors fail to do by making his film a definite improvement over the original. With Craven on board as producer, Aja sticks pretty closely to the first film's script and storyline, but with the help of a larger budget, special effects, better actors, and slick cinematography, creates a much scarier story. While the film's setting is contemporary, it maintains a 1970s feel in parts, paying tribute to the decade in which the slasher subgenre was born. With an interesting opening-credit sequence consisting of actual nuclear testing footage, we are told that the film's desert setting was the site of nuclear testing during the 1950s and ‘60s. Warned to vacate, the miners that lived there refused to leave, thus subjecting themselves to high levels of toxic radiation, and breeding mutant babies as a result. It is this generation of now-grown mutants that the poor Carter family has the misfortune to encounter while driving through New Mexico on their way to California.
When their vehicle breaks down in the desert, the Carters are too busy bickering with one another to realize they have entered enemy territory. But it doesn't take long for the demented creatures living in the hills to make their presence known. The gorefest that follows is packed with terribly frightening scenes of the deformed killers delighting in the torment and intended kill of each family member, young mothers, teen girls, and babies included. Much of the film is set in a government-created test city in which deteriorating mannequins take the place of actual humans. Posing lifelessly alongside their mutant neighbors, these waxy figures provide a chilling backdrop for the graphic war between the mutants and their victims.

Saw video
$9.99 With his new apprentice, Amanda (Shawnee Smith), the puppet master behind the cruel, intricate games that have terrified a community and baffled police has once again eluded capture and vanished. While city detectives scramble to locate him, Doctor Lynn Denlon (Bahar Soomekh) and Jeff (Angus Macfadyen) are unaware that they are about to become the latest pawns on this vicious chessboard. Tobin Bell and Dina Meyer costar. Extras include audio commentaries and deleted scenes.
In 2004, a low-budget horror film about a man who put people with moral failings into grisly, murderous situations became a huge hit. In 2005, the sequel scored again, upping the body count and the terror. In 2006, the franchise continued, with plenty of gore as well as an emotional story line that delved into the psychological makeup of the main characters. As SAW II concluded, Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) was dying. But that doesn't mean his penchant for playing games of torture and violence is ending. In SAW III, the murders start occurring again, and Kerry (Dina Meyer) is back on the case, although she thinks this time it might be the work of a copycat. She's only partly right: Amanda (Shawnee Smith), the only victim to have survived both movies, has joined Jigsaw as his apprentice, leading the way through a terrifying game involving Lynn (Bahar Soomekh), a doctor in an unhappy marriage, and Jeff (Angus Macfadyen), a distraught man who is having trouble getting over the loss of his son (Stefan Georgiou) at the hands of a drunk driver. Amanda has captured Lynn and placed her in a neck brace that is linked to Jigsaw's heart monitor; she must keep Jigsaw alive or else the brace will explode. Meanwhile, Jeff is sent on a dangerous journey on which he faces all the people involved in the light penalty his boy's killer received--and it is up to him whether he will seek vengeance or offer forgiveness. Helmed by SAW II director Darren Lynn Bousman and written by original SAW screenwriter and star Leigh Wh

| | Dick Cavett Show - John And Yoko Collection DVDs (1971)
Saw DVD
$17.89 Dick Cavett's 1960s and '70s late-night talk show retains an esteemed spot in the annals of television history for an extraordinary series of guest appearances by some of the era's greatest rock musicians. Among the show's most memorable musical guests were John Lennon and Yoko Ono, who appeared on three episodes and rewarded Cavett's wit and intelligence with a rare live performance and one of their most candid and sincere interviews ever captured on film.
Airing on September 11, 1971, John and Yoko's first Cavett appearance was historic for being Lennon's first on-camera interview since the Beatles' breakup. Even more remarkably, the trio's conversation was so engrossing that it continued well past the episode's time limit, prompting Cavett to assemble the extra footage into a separate episode aired two weeks later on September 24. The couple returned for a third, this time musical, appearance on May 12, 1972, offering electrifying live performances of John's "Woman is the Nigger of the World" and Yoko's "We're All Water" with the backing of New York band Elephant's Memory. Boasting all-new introductions by Cavett himself, clips from the couple's experimental films FLY and ERECTION, and promo clips (early music videos) for "Imagine" and "Mrs. Lennon," this collection presents all three episodes in their entirety for a rarely seen slice of both television and rock-music history.
John Lennon and Yoko Ono appeared on the Dick Cavett Show three times. Clearly, they enjoyed their time with Cavett, as these TV interviews stand out as their most relaxed and in-depth. This 2-DVD set includes the interviews of 9/11/71, in which John & Yoko were Cavett's only guests, 9/24/71 with Stan Freberg and Robert Citron and 5/12/72, in which John & Yoko performlive with Elephant's Memory. Songs include "Woman is the Nigger of the World" and "We're All Water."
