While driving to her hometown Ovid, Colorado, to visit her brother and local sheriff Jeff and her niece Olympia, Joan Burrows recalls her traumatic experience with her best friend Susie when they were teenagers. Joan and Susie are smoking pot in the cemetery and decide to snoop on the caretaker Bishop in the funeral home. Joan falls and hurts her knee, and Bishop invites the girls to enter in the house to clean the wound. Soon they are sedated with chloroform and submitted to a cruel torture in a sick game where Bishop tells each girl to ask to kill the other to stop the suffering. When a copycat killer kills Olympia's friends, Joan tells the police officers that Bishop is back but nobody believes her.

not bad.

Saw it today, in Russia it is all over the theaters and to be honest, I wasn't disappointed. Do not expect suspense. Do not expect that much HORROR itself - there was gore, a god awful amount of gory torturing. Angela Bettis was surprisingly not as good as she usually is (May; Girl, Interrupted), but she fit the character pretty well. Bliss Blanton glows and shines, I've never seen her in a movie before, but she was extremely pretty. The plot.. well, it keeps you entertained. And, as I saw it in 3D, I was exited and pleased to see things actually look like they were in front of me, plus the titles and the cast in the intro flying right into your face is pretty spectacular - I found myself smiling as I didn't experience much of 3D action (Spy Kids were not as 3D as this one) and it was nice. Do not expect much, expect a good 3D (no full presence, for Christ's sake, they didn't have an opportunity to suddenly bring three-dimensional to a new absolutely amazing level), expect a gore fest (I found myself turning away in a few scenes, it was gorier than the "Saw" series was") and you won't be disappointed. No masterpiece, pretty enjoyable overall.
