SAW (2004)

SAW came as a breath of fresh air to the genre, as it took a step away from some of horror’s clichés such as teenagers, ghouls and jump-scares, and used an incredibly smart and detailed plot as its weapon of choice. The film immediately introduces us to two characters; Adam and Dr. Gordon, two men who wake up chained to the opposite side of a room with another dead man laying in the middle, and a hell of a lot of questions. As the two characters talk, they discover they have a little more in common than they first thought, and as a creepy clown giving out clues via a television set is introduced, they can either trace their steps to find a way out of the nightmare, or use turn to a rusty saw (get it?) they find amongst them. The plot of the film ended up twisting and turning its way through six different sequels (with another on the way), and ended up as one of the biggest film franchises of modern cinema.

Blair Witch is available on Digital, Blu-ray and DVD now, alongside a box set with the original Blair Witch Project.
