The movie Saw which is considered one of the movies that made people think a lot about the concept of fear and survival It is a type of psychological horror movie that does not rely on ghosts or supernatural things but on the bitter reality and internal conflict that the characters face The movie was directed by James Wan and written by Lee and Neil who succeeded in presenting an exciting and tense story from beginning to end.
The story revolves around two people a doctor and a photographer who wake up handcuffed in an abandoned bathroom and do not know how they got there They begin to discover that they have fallen into a strange trap and face a series of puzzles and riddles that they must solve in order to survive The main idea in the movie is that each one of them has a past full of mistakes and the one who judges them is Jigsaw the mysterious character who arranges these games and who considers himself to punish people for their mistakes in his own way.
The movie is not just horror but it raises big moral questions about justice and punishment and does anyone have the right to punish other people based on their own standards Jigsaw is not just a killer but a complex character and it appears that he has a special philosophy in teaching people the value of life through the difficult situations he puts them in.
The acting in the movie was very convincing especially Tobin Bell in the role of Jigsaw who despite his limited appearance made the character unforgettable The visual effects and the general atmosphere of the movie were terrifying and tense and the soundtrack helped increase the intensity of the tension.
But the movie is not the type that suits everyone because it contains violent and shocking scenes and it exploits the idea of physical and psychological pain greatly But if you are a fan of horror movies that are deep and make you think of many things after the movie ends then Saw is the movie for you The film succeeded in creating a series of successful films after that but the first part is still considered one of the best because it was the beginning that opened the door to a new idea in the world of horror.
