Saw (2004 film): The Film that Made You Afraid to Go in the Bathroom Alone
Introduction
Saw is a horror movie that will make you pee your pants (literally). Directed by James Wan and written by Leigh Whannell, this film is not for the faint of heart. Brace yourself for a twisted plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time.
Plot
Two guys, Adam and Dr. Lawrence, wake up chained to opposite ends of a bathroom. They find out they are being held hostage by a serial killer, Jigsaw, who loves to play games. Their objective is to survive and figure out why they were chosen to play this game.
Just when you think you’ve figured out the identity of the killer, the plot twists and turns like a rollercoaster. And the bathroom? Let’s just say you won’t want to use one for a while.
Characters
The characters in Saw are unique and memorable in their own ways. You have the tortured victim, Dr. Lawrence, who is forced to make a horrible decision by the end of the film. Then there’s Adam, the photographer who probably shouldn’t have taken that gig in the first place. And of course, who could forget the man behind all the madness, Jigsaw - a guy who has a knack for creating elaborate traps that no sane person would ever come up with.
Impact
Saw was a game-changer for the horror movie genre. It was a low-budget film that became a box-office hit and launched a franchise. Its unique and twisted plot caught audiences off-guard and made them never want to look at a jigsaw puzzle the same way again.
Not to mention, it made people seriously consider the consequences of carrying a dull pocket knife around in their backpacks.
Conclusion
If you’re looking for a movie that will make you jump out of your skin and leave you feeling a little queasy, Saw is the perfect choice. Just don’t be surprised if you suddenly find yourself checking the locks on all your bathroom doors.
