I'm not even going to go into the shitty directing and writing and the dialogue that made me laugh my ass off in the theater.
Worst waste of money on the movies since going to see Darkness Falls.
Saw however, was great. It reminded me very much of Seven. The acting wasn't bad I thought, aside from Danny Glover who was pretty terrible. I thought the cinematography and camera work were excellent though, just because its rushed doesn't mean it can't be good. There were moments in the movie that seemed so slow that it would never go on but they passed quickly enough. And the kills man they were amazing and so creative and disturbing. I especially totally loved the scene where the man is forced to crawl through the barbed wire maze, that was fuckin creepy.
Sorry to rant.

Goddamn, maybe I saw a different version of Saw, but you cannot complain about the acting/cinematography in House of Wax when you're comparing it to Saw. Acting yes was bad in H.O.W. (yet not as bad as Saw), but the cinematography actually wasn't bad in House of Wax, there were some decent shots and angles, and yet you think Saw was shot better, when, I REPEAT, you can see the microphones in at LEAST 2 different scenes. (My cousin says he caught one more later.) That shits BAD, man.
