Saw is good and it didn't stop me watching Saw 2 and Iain and i want to see Saw 3.

Better not watch the original of Grudge it's worse i've been told.

My Brothers are into japanese films and i watched Ring with them and i was so scared i almost cried!!

The American version is the one for me it's not scary!!

I jump at the most stupid things Mic always laughs at me

I blame having an over-active imagination - in the flat, the bedroom and living room were upstairs and the bathroom and kitchen were down. Can't remember what the film as but I remember getting to the top of the stairs and then calling Mic and making him go down first and turn on all the lights before I could go down to the bathroom (think it was either the grudge or the ring)

Two Sam must-haves for watching horror/jumpy/scary movies - a hand to hang onto and either a cushion or a shoulder to hide face behind but peer over the top so as to not miss anything

Saw is a really good film. It lures you into dismissing it as a decidedly mediocre affair, until the last half hour, when it just proves to you that it isnt, and that it's taken you for a ride. Helps if you know nothing about it though, else the twist wont work so well.

Saw II was much more of a gore fest, and after Hostel I imagine Saw III is worse still.

SAW is excellent from a psychological point and I thoroughly enjoyed it even though I don't like gore. Just do what I do and give it a go with your bloke ready to hide behind!

SAW 2 was ok. The eyeball bit was a bit much for me as I'm really squeamish about eyes!

SAW's not about being horrible for horribles sake. Jigsaw only picks victims who are wasting their lives or deserve it.

HOSTEL is about being horrible for horribles sake. The eye and the ankle. Gorefest!

EDIT: Ooops, it's Fayshun 'ere

It's not particularly bloody except when it needs to be. Which you cant say about the second one imo. Though it was much better than I was expecting, after how fast they cooked it up.

SAW isn't that bloody, I agree. It's far more psychological horror and implied than anything.
