Review of Saw

Saw (2003)
8/10
Pretty effective and concise precusor to Saw
27 October 2023
This is the short film director James Wan made which led to the movie, and subsequent endless series, Saw. Unlike most films of 10min length this one actually works quite well. It obviously doesn't have time to exactly do very much but it introduces the central idea of the franchise of a man in a deadly trap, forced to do something completely awful to escape from it and ends with the super creepy doll on a tricycle wheeling its way into the room at the end. So, pretty simple stuff, yet, as is the way with Wan, its well delivered and would have been pretty memorable if you just saw this without having seen the movies. Definitely worth 10mins of your time.
