See Saw

"Do you want to play a game? Live or die, make your choice."

When that freaky clown mask on the telly rasps that to you, you just know that you're more than likely to be f*cked.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Saw movies, you could classify them as psychological thrillers, with more than a hint of gore, drama, violence, action, blood... you get the picture yeah?

Jigsaw, a brilliant sociopath, brings down his judgment on members of the public who he deems unworthy of life, those who do not seem to appreciate what they've been given and blessed with. A drug addict. A snitch. An adulterer. A stalker. A cop on the take. An ex-felon devolving back to his roots. He sets them up in sinister "games" where they have to make a terrible decision should they want to live. None more so than Amanda in Saw and Saw 2. In Saw 1, Amanda (a drug addict) is hooked up to a device, sort of a reverse bear trap, clamped to her jaws, and she has a certain amount of time to get it off before it... opens. Problem is, the only way to get it off is to get a key. Which is inside the stomach of someone else. On the floor. She's supplied with a scalpel.

Saw 3 was originally scheduled to open in July 2006, but, as som of you might realise, we've passed that month, and no, still no Jigsaw to terrorise unsuspecting victims. Apparently it got moved back to October 2006, which isn't too far off anyway, so that's alright I guess.

  • Check out the trailer

  • Well, I guess we have something to look forward to for Hari Raya, don't we?

    And Khadi, we are definitely watching this.
