We left Sunday after a weekend with our daughter and she went to see this. She said the firt two weren't 'too bad' and great for playing detective. Should I worry about her? [zzzzzzz?]

I just don't understand why anyone would want to watch such gore-splattered trash. I've never understood it in the slightest.
To: Froufrou
Gorenography doesn't appeal to me, but each to his own.

And I asked her about that because I can't stand gore for the sake of showing off prowess with special effects.

Saw 1 wasn't necessarily a gory film (Band Of Brothers had more blood and guts), but it was definitely one of the creepiest horror flicks I've ever seen.... and I despise slasher films. But Saw 1 was riveting.
Turns out it was an independent film made on a very low budget in only a few weeks time. Most of its horror is in the script and the sets, which create a really oppresive atmosphere.
I've read that Saw 2 was a rote knockoff.

Sounds like a great movie. :)
To: MadIvan
I am always skeptical on things like this.
Not enough to pique my curiousity into buying a ticket.

Gee, I'm so out of it, I haven't even heard of this movie. Reminds me Mr. Bean attending the scary movie with his girlfriend.
To: MadIvan
FWIW, the scariest movie I've ever seen was the original version of
The Haunting. No blood/gore/bug-eyed monsters. But the movie scared the stuffing out of me. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
Happy Halloween, MI :)

I am probably becoming jaded and cynical, but I can't remember the last time that a horror film truly scared me. I think the closest was the original Omen film, and seeing that Damien had survived.

Too many real life horrors to get scared by silly movies.
To: MadIvan
Good.
Whilst I'm not wimpy enough to faint in a cinema, I don't think paying money to hide behind the seat in front is very sensible.

Some of the worst Gorenography out there.

I am probably becoming jaded and cynical,
pan Dr. Jekyl turning ito Hyde...you? Cynical?!
OTOH, I agree The Omen was horrific...but not quite as much as the everyday...

Actually I think horror stories scare me more than films - HP Lovecraft's stories are particularly good at that.
