While its reputation has been somewhat tarnished by seven sequels of varying quality, 2004's "Saw" holds up quite well. This micro-budget hit benefits from a tremendous atmosphere, a wonderfully original villain and a heart-stopping finale. It may not be for everyone, but if you're a fan of thrillers, "Saw" is one to check out! 4.5 out of 5. (Rounding up to 5 for MovieMistakes).
The start of an awesome franchise. Where it all starts. Worth watching time and time again

Trivia: The actor playing Adam is actually a co-writer of Saw. The film was shot in 18 days and for under a million dollars, and it all took place in 2 warehouses. The writers/directors wanted to make a movie about people trapped inside a single room.

Answer: Jigsaw's traps would more than likely leave a person mentally unstable, which could result in Stockholm Syndrome, a condition which involves a victim sympathising with their captor. In fact, after Lawrence Gordon escapes the bathroom after severing his own foot, Jigsaw nursed him back to full health, thus gaining his trust (this is shown in Saw VII). He also plays mind games on people, which is shown in a flashback in Saw III in which he convinced Amanda to side with him. In her unstable state of mind, she realised that he was the first person in her life she could actually relate to, and thus became an accomplice.
