I'm such a fan of the original - I like blood and gore, and Saw
had one of the more intriguing and sick stories around, which saw
the introduction of an original villain in recent memory, Jigsaw.
What worked in the first film was the strange premise of 2
seemingly unrelated characters being put in a life and death
situation, forced to compromise or die together. Also, the twist at
the end was oh-so-nicely done, that it just begs for a sequel to be
made.
