Saw (2004)
Saw is one of those movies cited by people who say they hate horror movies, but the original, at least, is a very well-crafted thriller that relies on twists and solid performances more than shock value. There’s something very sleazy about watching people suffer for entertainment, but Saw‘s unapologetic sleaziness makes its a very compelling watch.
And before you say “Really? Saw is good?,” let’s please remember that is stars very legit actors Danny Glover (above) and Cary Elwes, and premiered at the prestigious Sundance film festival. Not bad for a sleazy movie.
It has spawned nine sequels, including the recent Saw X.
