The greatest movie ever made..!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

I liked this movie. It was probably done on a limited budget much like many of the great clasic horror movies, but really captures the great feel that the horror genre was all about. A movie that I would love to see at at drive-in theatre. The monster/Jigsaw was fresh and interesting as were his victims. In particular I found the actress Maren Lindow to be very convincing not to mention perfectly attractive for this type of role. This is a horror picture that does not take itself too seriously that reminds of a time in the 1980's when these type of movies made person scream and then laugh. This movie is well worth a rent.

Arthur Simon really did a fine job on this one is all I can say. This guy is a star in the making. He was given the best death scene in the whole movie, and he MASTERED it. Also, I've watched Bleed, and it can't even touch Jigsaw. I think Jigsaw rules!

I loved this movie. It made me shiver. It was really well made for a low budget movie. I was at the premier at Flashback Weekend and met all the actors, it was fun. Anyway here is the correct plot (minor spoilers):A college professor named Collin has in his mind the perfect final project of the semester: to split up a mannequin he names JIGSAW and give a separate part to a different student. Each student will take his or her part home and decorate it with something they fear or with something that means stuff to them. He chooses five student (or you could call them victims) to participate. One of them is joke Eddie, who always talks and never stops wise-cracking. The other is Tawny, my favorite character, who is really pretty. Another is Todd, who hates Eddie and likes Tawny. Another is Louise, who has an abusive husband named Art. Finally, there's Valerie, who Collin personally likes himself. All the other students that weren't chosen to be included in the project autimatically get an A and don't have to come to the final class.All the students chosen decarate their part. Eddie is given the head, Tawny is given an arm, Louise is given a leg, Valery is given another leg, and Todd is given an arm. Well, for the final class, Collin and the other five students meet at a bar in the middle of the woods called Sneaky Pete's run by a nice old man. They present their different body parts they decorated and tell a story behind them. Todd puts a saw on the arm, which is the highlight of the movie. Well, they present their parts, put all of the decorated pieces bck together to form the mannequin JIGSAW. Collin is a heavy drinker, so he lets each student pick out any drink they want from the bar and the whole group must drink it as they tell their stories. Louise brings her drunk and abusive husband along, who plays games all night and makes sure Collin dosn't hit on Louise.After they put JIGSAW together, they all go out in the middle of the woods in an open field and have a giant bonfire. Eddie had the most fun with the head, so he attached a working camera onto Jigsaw and made his hair fireworks, which makes him look like he has a mohawk. They burn JIGSAW, and the fireworks go off, then the class is over. So the students and Collin go back to the bar to just hang out and drink for the rest of the night with Pete, the nice owner, while some stay in the field to make out. All of a sudden, one of the students thinks they see JIGSAW's head begin to twitch or nod, and then the terror begins. JIGSAW comes alive, and is set out to make his own mannequin, made of pieces of the students or anyone that gets in his way.I really did love this movie. I thought the plot was great, and it was scary. My favorite character was Tawny, she was also the most interesting, and i liked JIGSAW to. He was good. The violence and scary stuff dosn't start to happen until about 50 minutes through, but the story is very interesting nonetheless. I also thought it ended at the perfect moment. I know there will be some people who will be complaining about the ending and that it should have lasted longer, but what else do you need to know? It ended at the perfect moment (something most horror movies don't do). I loved this movie. did i already say that? It will be rentable at video stores, and make sure you rent it, you won't be disappointed. i hope they make a sequel.

I saw this movie at the Flashback Weekend Premiere. For the obvious budget/talent constraints this movie was better than expected. I especially enjoyed the hottie who was constantly cracking wise, who made me laugh several times. I was sad when he got killed. Worth a rent if you enjoy corny low-budget horror.
