Saw

Well, said.

Saw makes me cringe just thinking about the 'traps' and such. I even think the first film was intended to have a B-Movie-like quality.

With most horror films I couldn't give a crap about the characters, they're just stupid and pathetic; so I don't care when they die. And nothing seems gruesome about it because you're not really feeling it, you're just looking at the spectacle of the gore. You're positioned more with the killer than the victims: you want to see them die and you want it to be gory.

With Saw you want to see these people try and work the way out or your mind is kept active putting it all together.
