Two complete strangers wake up in a completely unfamiliar room, and then they have a question between life and death, and they unravel a chain of complex riddles, recall their past life, to finally come to some right decision and finally free themselves from the hands of the mysterious kidnapper.
The film is made in the genre of psychological horror. What matters is not what we see on the screen, but the atmosphere. At least 30 liters of blood will be poured for the film, but the film will not be terrible. But the atmosphere in horror is the most important detail of the film. Well, the atmosphere is just perfect. The scenery, the heroes, the corpse in the middle of the room, everything here speaks of deep horror, if I may put it that way. Everything just looks great, so the visual design is 5 points, but this is only scenes in the room, everything looks quite familiar in all other rooms. The plot also turned out to be good, albeit very naive, well, who can believe some voice from the recorder that they will kill one of the relatives and so on. Although in an extreme situation, a person is ready for anything. But on the other hand, the film is not stupid at all. Not as smart and deep as another film of the same genre “Silence of the Lambs” or “Seven”, but still.
I’m not a big fan of this genre. I don’t like horror movies and everything related to them, I don’t like this genre. I decided to watch this movie because of the brand. As a result, I got a great horror, with an inflating atmosphere, a good game of actors (by the way, the future stars of the Lost series Ken Leung and Michael Emerson lit up in quite interesting roles, I also liked their game very much), and it turned out just great. But I will definitely not watch the second part, and especially the third, fourth and so on, because it is clear that the first part of this topic has exhausted its potential, then there will be only a parody, and I answer no to the question “to saw or not to saw” for the second time. I definitely liked this movie.
