i fail to see how people becoming trapped and tortured / killed in increasingly elaborate and horrific ways
is classed as entertainment.
I like gory bits in films as much as the next guy, but the saw films are out of context and are just porn for strange people.

I am a massive horror fan, and these films are just stupid crap. Do not want.

Agree completely.
Torture porn for inadequate teenage boys.
The older I get, the more empathic I get, & this kind of thing just makes me sad.

people have always enjoyed
torture and violence as entertainment - from the roman gladiator games, to bull fighting in spain and the x factor auditions! I'm not a fan, but i know a lot of people who love these films. strange folk indeed!

I love the Saw films.
Not usually a massive horror fan but they're really rather clever. All fit together like a big jigsaw...overlapping continuities Back to the Future 2-style "film within a film" business.
And I do like the ridculously OTT gore.
Quite an isolated case though...tried watching the Hills Have Eyes and couldn't get through it. Just horrid.

If I wanted to be entertained by maiming and cruelty
I'll stick to Tom and Jerry, thank you very much.

because some one wrote an article calling them torture porn
and so more were made as they were said to be popular.
The original saw film/s actually had some form of moral to them though, as they are about a guy who wants to give people a reason to live their life by making it seem that much more valuable that they still living.
but on the whole I think they're pretty shit.
