Why do people enjoy these “Saw” movies so much? To me, I find them to be overrated and boring. I only saw the first two, and I’m like, “Meh, that’s enough Saw movies for me”. I won’t even see III, IV or V. It’s not that I’m scared. It’s not that I get grossed out or start to puke over blood and guts scene ’cause I very much enjoy that stuff.

I enjoy horror films. It’s one of my favorite genres to pay attention to. I FUCKING LOVE THE HORROR GENRE. I’ve been into the horror genre for years, pretty much ever since I was a child believe it or not. I enjoy scary and dark things. It’s what pumps me up and gets my mind going.

Many would think the “Saw” series is getting just as popular as Friday the 13th, Halloween and the Nightmare on Elm St. series. Well to  tell you the truth, the “Saw” series is not even in Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers and Freddy’s league. The “Saw” series are all pretty much the same thing. Being trapped in some strange house with some guy trying to play this game with the group of kids trapped in. *yawn* You call that storytelling?

It’s understandable kids would enjoy the “Saw” films since they probably aren’t into the horror genre at all. There are way better horror films than “Saw”. If you look at my Top 20 horror films a few blogs back, I can name plenty of great horror films that I love.

I know a good horror movie when I see one and the “Saw” series aren’t good movies. I know a lot about the horror genre since I spent my life on it. When I was a kid, I’ve read all the Stephen King books, seen the Tales from the Crypt series on HBO back in the day, seen all kinds of R rated horror flicks when I was even underage as well.

There’s nothing special about the “Saw” series. It’s just bad storytelling, and bad acting as well. It ain’t even scary at all either. It is not an original story because these kids trapped in a house and trying to get out alive has been done over and over and over and over again so many times. The “Saw” movies were clearly made for the younger generation around the 20’s – 30’s age range. I just don’t get it. I don’t like the movies at all and there are better horror films out there.

The movie “Dead Silence” which is a horror film made by James Wan who is also the creator of the “Saw” series, “Dead Silence” is a much better film than “Saw”. “Dead Silence” I would say is a creepy film and the story was very well written. I would reccomend “Dead Silence” if you haven’t seen it  yet.

Those that support the “Saw” series, just don’t understand what true horror is all about and they just go see the movies for popcorn “entertainment”. That’s what “Saw” is to me, a popcorn entertainment movie, not a horror film. I know what makes a good horror film and a good horror story. Those who actually do get scared by watching the “Saw” series are probably new to the horror genre.
