I saw SAW I, II & III

I saw the 1st one out of morbid curiosity. Let's be honest, that is why horror movies has such a huge market, suckers like me. I am entirely addicted to horror movies, have been since I was 11.

I blame it on Stephen King's IT, the first King book I read, like I hinted, I was 11 at the time. It's all been downhill from there!

I was talking to Mom on Sunday, she was flipping out cause other Granny let the girls watch SAW III. Not the whole movie, just enough to have them DYING for more, not because she was being bitchy either, they just ran out of time. So here was mom, on the soapbox, about how it isn't 'good' for them to watch such violence. Now, to be honest, I actually agree with her, which is why they haven't seen the other two, even though I own them. . .

The point I wanted to make was that I started watching horror movies at 11, but I was a much more mature 11 than the girls are. I am proud of the fact that they still prefer Harry Potter and Over the Hedge to SAW, I wish I was so innocent at 11. . .

Be that as it may, I dunno if I should let them finish watching the movie or not. Any suggestions?

BUT, low and behold, that is not what this post is about. The post is ACTUALLY, drum roll, can you believe it, another drum roll, about the movies themselves.

Fuck, they are absolutely brilliant. A fresh new idea in the genre. These masks are the things that nightmares are made of. The horridness of what the victims have to go through for freedom are atrocious, as it is supposed to be in ANY horror. Many movies have come and gone, many a series (Jason, Freddy, Michael), but none of these are even remotely in the same league as the SAW trilogy and yes, I am hoping for a IV, but they killed Jig, so I dunno.

Instead of doing the normal from bad to worse like the series' I mentioned above, this is a winner, the worst being III then II and then I as opposed to the other way around.

I even think the storyline is better than most, of course when I say most, I do not include any of Stephen King's works. And there is a thread, a believeable one, between the movies and the transgressions of the main characters. I know, I know, such big words on a Friday! !

If you're as sick as I am (and you'd have to be if you're a regular reader!) get them, well worth the watch.

Also, check this out. And here are reviews, 1 gud (as it should be) and 1 bad (for the guys that should rather watch the cooking channel).
