Saw this today, and it made me realise just what a pussy assed mofo of a movie Saw was. Fucking brilliant, even if it does leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Anyone seen it?

Haven't seen it yet, and to be honest if I hadn't switched onto Film '04 yesterday, I'd most likely never have hear anything about it. But by god, it's a stylish piece of work.

It is available on R3 DVD at 'YesAsia' if anyone's interested, but as it's only DTS, I've had to pass. Which pisses me off no end. Still, if I can track down a cinema which is showing it, I'll have to go and see it.

I so want to see this, was the octupus scene good?

Sqeamishly good. I did prefer the tounge scene.

One of the few films I've ever seen where I've not even half guessed the ending. And the ending kind of kicks in half an hour before the film finishes, then it twists the knife around a few times for good measure.

Didn't actually notice the hammer fight was all in one take though, I guess it wasn't that impressive. What was impressive was him the throwing against the window bit.

Hammer fight - fucking class.

Squid scene - lovely jubbly.

DIY dentistry scene - bananas.

Final scene - OMGWTFLOL!!!!1

Go see this movie, it's really really really really good. The ending is a unsatisfying, but it's quite the little movie while it lasts.

I thought the ending was quality, not that I'm into that sort of stuff or anything. It did seem like a happy ending to me though, what with ignorance being bliss. Probably the best mix of storyline, morals and violence I've ever seen in a film.

It also seemed really well produced. Is the film market in Korea much bigger than in Japan?

Saw it the other day, then saw it again tonight. Brilliant, so many people haven't seen this, so who cares if I'm posting in a way old thread, if it alerts one more person to see it, it's worth it.

Just...brilliant. I really liked it.

And I really like this - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...ssPageName=WDVW but it's quite expensive...

The ending from where exactly? Basically:

Click For Spoiler
He found out he'd been sleeping with his daughter, that was the trick, and he cut his tongue out to punish himself for what he'd done (spread the rumours when he was younger). Then he basically got himself hypnotised to not remember it, but the ending with Mido asking 'Were you with someone?' and him breaking down suggested that he remembered it all. Not that he could tell her anyway, with his lack of tongue...
