Saw. This is one movie that I have a lot of trouble keeping my eyes open through the whole thing. It's very graphic, and very suspenseful. In a quick overview, two men wake up chained in a bathroom, a dead man laying in a pool of his own blood. Eventually, they find a tape recorder with instructions. Either Doctor Gordon kills the other man within the time limit or his family will be killed, and he and his fellow contained prisoner are left to rot.
What is interesting about this horror film, unlike others, that there is little to none of sexuality or nudity. What this movie strives on is the suspense and lack of visual for some intense situations. A rule of thumb for horror films is to let the audience imagine what's going on instead of showing them. Their minds will do so much worse than what can shown on screen. Take Jaws, for example. Originally, they built a massively huge and expensive shark, but it kept breaking down so they ended up with very little scenes with the shark actually in the movie. But that is what scared the audience so much, the never knew where it was, where it was coming from, or what it looked like.
