SAW (2004) | First Time Watching | Movie Reaction

[@cinemawithsteph]

Quick note: I've received a copyright issue with this video and as such, had to trim out segments so unfortunately it's choppy in some areas :(

[@Phantomgreen29]

I watched this in the theatre on opening night and the crowd reaction was the most raw and visceral I've ever seen. I heard people talking about this movie for weeks after.

[@cinemawithsteph]

That doesn’t surprise me at all!

[@RyanCole-kr4xk]

Same

[@HauntedHeme13]

I love watching reactions for Saw and seeing people go through the twist 😂 one of the best ever

[@cinemawithsteph]

I hadn’t the slightest clue what was coming! Blew my mind and terrified me all the more lol

[@BigGator5]

"I want to play a game." Fun Fact: Was filmed in 18 days. Movie Magic Fact: Leigh Whannell and James Wan confirmed that when Adam begins to smash Zep (Michael Emerson) with the toilet lid, he is actually hitting a garbage bag full of fake blood. Subtle Camera Storytelling Fact: Director James Wan wanted the camera movements to reflect the two main characters' emotions and personality. He filmed Dr. Gordon (Cary Elwes) with steady controlled shots and Adam (Leigh Whannell) as handheld shots to capture their emotions of the situation. Gun Enthusiast Fact: As Dr. Gordon (Cary Elwes) is loading the cartridge into the revolver to shoot Adam (Leigh Whannell), the camera briefly shows all six chambers of the cylinder to be empty. Revolvers don't eject spent cartridges, yet the man on the floor was supposed to have shot himself with the same gun. What looked to be a continuity error is actually a subtle foreshadowing to the twist ending.

[@cinemawithsteph]

Oooh thanks for the info! I love hearing more about the film process. I can’t believe they made that in 18 days

[@BigGator5]

My pleasure. 😁 Go with God and Be Safe from Evil. 😎 👍

[@lisak8492]

That revolver fact is so cool!!

[@livingcorpse5664]

The key wasn't supposed to go down the drain. Notice what he said "the key to that chain is in the bathtub". He said IS, not WAS.

[@Right-Hand_Man]

This movie franchise has a good storyline to it. When I first saw this movie in theaters, I was completely shocked at the twist ending. The rest of the movies go more in-depth with John and his ideology. Great reaction, I know it wasn’t easy 😂

[@JohnSmith83927]

the dickriding is insane 😭 (jk)

[@Bishop228]

Really enjoyed your reaction. I will never, ever forget seeing this movie opening night in the theater. One of the wildest, craziest experiences I’ve ever had. People yelling, screaming, passing out, even had a few people vomit. Wild stuff.

[@Roller-Ball]

This is a great series of movies. The more you watch the more you understand John (Jigsaw). It is an amazing story. I hope you will continue. Maybe watch these after 10pm in the dark. You miss so much when you close your eyes.

[@StCerberusEngel]

Funny thing about the first SAW is there are only a few minutes worth of actual violence on camera, and most of the time, you don't see anything actually happening. You see the aftermath of some things, and you see the suggestion of violence during most scenes. Your brain fills in the rest with the assistance of the rapid edits and unsteady camera. For years my roommate refused to watch this because he thought it was just scenes of torture, but then I made him sit down and watch it with me. Any time there was violence on the screen, I timed it. I forget the total, but I believe it came to about 2-4 minutes of on-screen gore. Quite the effective trick it pulls isn't it?

[@mr.a8315]

Saw-tastic reaction. Tobin Bell (Jigsaw) is an excellent character actor. He has a tiny 5 minute scene near the start of Clint Eastwood's 'In The Line of Fire' (1993) and he even shines in that.

[@AutoPilate]

The sequels get progressively convoluted and gory and silly, but they still entertain me in a guilty pleasure sense.

[@JerginBootwyler]

Its very hard to be surprised by anything cause normally by the time i watch a movie someone already spoiled the ending for me somehow, but not for this movie and I'm so glad. That twist ending got me so damn good i would never in a million years have predicted it. Absolutely jaw dropping

[@robertmarginean164]

One of the greatest twists in movie history. In terms of horror twists, it's top 2 for sure, competing with The Sixth Sense for the first spot

[@walteralcaraz5898]

Thank you for this reaction. If you continue with the series, remember that there are now about 10 of them (Saw X was released a few weeks ago I think). In any case, try not to focus too much on the timeline, because some movies, even though they take place chronologically in the sequence (i.e. Saw II, Saw III, Saw IV, etc.), the events may actually be simultaneous or even before others in previous movies. So, it is sort of a Gordian Knot that can leave one tangled if you think about it too much. There is one team that examined every movie to determine when things happened, but it was in painstaking detail they did it. So, for the 10 movies, there are Saw I (this one) to Saw 3D (sometimes called Saw VII: The Final Chapter), Jigsaw, and Spiral. That is 9, and as I said, Saw X was just released.

[@malizee2264]

What an amazing reaction!!! Thank you!!!! I recently got sucked into the entire saw franchise and now it’s such an experience to watch others react to it and yours was amazing!!! ❤

[@cinemawithsteph]

Thanks so much! I’m planning on getting around to the 2nd in the next while

[@malizee2264]

29:49 I think the reason she didn't shoot him there was because she needed to know where her husband was. As far as anybody knew, only Zep would know the exact location of the bathroom.

[@Danstraightedge]

I can remember everything about the night I saw this movie with my two friends. We still talk about the ending now.

[@umbrellacorp5562]

You need to binge watch these lol. Watch them back to back, it's pretty much one long continuous story.

[@lethaldose2000]

Steph!!!!!! ------ Your reaction to "SAW" was so fucking EPPPPPPPIC!!!!! ------ I can't tell you i have not felt this much pain for someone in a long long time. ------- Watching you get through this movie was so intense. You have taken "SAW" to a new level for me. WHOA!!

[@cinemawithsteph]

Thanks so much! It was certainly something 😳😂

[@mistergingersnaps]

Was in high school when this came out too & me and my dad went to see this in theaters. He's not a fan of gore, can't even watch medical show lol. He told me right at the beginning "If this is too much im walking the f**k out" 🤣He surprisingly made it but this was a hell of a thing to see in theaters. Loved the reaction to this and season one of Reacher (also totally team Rosco/Reacher), awesome job on edits & synopsis/thoughts! Looking forward to watching more reactions from you!

[@williamsummerson1204]

Another amazing reaction Steph. If you decide to continue down the saw rabbit hole, they do get alot more intense. Looking forward to your next reaction. Have a wonderful weekend. ❤🙏

[@blondymonk1535]

The first one is so good and iconic. Not really a fan of the whole franchise (more gore porn than anything else if you ask me), but this one is great.

[@douglaslafreniere5707]

Sadly I’ll miss this premiere but thanks for Patreon i can say it was a great reaction 👻

[@moralarf3083]

The plot twist in saw 2 is better than the one in the 1 st movie, so u should continue the serie, btw, saw 6 is my favorite, that movie is masterpiece, I hope u get there:))

100% 😂

[@ScarletStarAudios]

Awesome reaction!, and I hope you plan to continue the franchise I absolutely adore it! I just finished my second viewing of the newest “Saw X” I’d absolutely love if you kept watching this franchise heck even if it’s just 1 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and X (skipping spiral and jigsaw even tho there still pretty good) The saw franchise story and characters are amazing, the traps are just the sprinkles on top Heck even if you now just watched SAW 2, 3, 4, and X You’d have enough info to REALLY enjoy X, it’s honestly the best film in this franchise

[@BBell1988]

love your reaction. You help me relive my first experience watching it. Hope you watch the others, especially the original trilogy:)

[@sanketzambre6491]

she literally knows everything before the scene. I think she watched the movie before recently

[@Tasuva]

Yea if you thought this was too much to handle, do not watch the sequels. This one is more of a crime story with several brutal moments while there is less crime and more brutality in the sequels. Even though they have some interesting concepts, these movies are not for everyone. I think the first one is really really good though except from some weird editing choices. Thanks for checking it out!

[@Макс-к2б6ч]

I can't believe what I'm seeing, you're watching Saw, you're different, nobody's doing this series. Love it❤

thank god they made saw x so i can get more reactions to the first movie, until 1 month ago there were like 5 reactions on all of yt worth watching xD

[@BobbyG716]

Recommend / please react to the rest of the Saw series. Always look forward to your posts / reactions Steph. Funny thing is that the first SAW film is not really gore like most people thought that are new to watching the SAW series. Same thing happened to me thought this movie was going to have a lot of gore. Its the other SAW films that have more gore as the series continues.

[@jerrywalters8885]

Fyi 1 - 7 are all ine Interconnected storyline with 8 and 9 independent with SAW X set between 1 and 2. With spoiler about part 4 in end credit scene of X

[@myoung7654]

After seeing Steph's reaction to the toilet scene should we all request Trainspotting for a future reaction?

[@FLQueerLiberal1982]

In the sequel, and all the sequels that follow, you will see that Jigsaw is actually onto something here, that he makes a good argument for his extracurricular activities. I always say, most of the "victims" are the actual villains in these films, and Jigsaw is somewhere between vigilante and antihero. There are only a few participants that are actual victims, that don't as harsh or difficult a game. They certainly still belong in a game of some sort, but a more easy game to win. You can't tell me the world isn't a better place without some of these pieces of shxx from the sequels.

[@Joey0111]

[@bodybody2042]

I love your reactions so much and you are pretty

[@malice.ytmusic]

At the minimum I would recommend to at least watch the sequel, Saw 2. It's the movie where you learn a lot about John and he's present through the whole film, it's also considered by many to be the best in the series. Beyond 2 though, that's when they really start to embrace the "graphicness" of the visuals and show it more and more so it might not be your thing. Enjoyed your reaction to this one though!

[@Cobratruth]

9 more to go😉 I think you’ll enjoy this franchise. Full of twists

[@cinemawithsteph]

Are there really 9???

[@ViDeTool]

@@cinemawithsteph yup. 9 But the general franchise has various endings that you could say they are the overall ending of the franchise. It ends in the first as a whole, in the third as a triology, in the 7th for the entire timeline. 8 and 9 are spin offs and X its an OVA you could say

[@robbieanson1218]

If you want the truth about this, there was 2 distinct cases of this one on unsolved mysteries, and the guy zip that had a bomb strapped to his neck chase that one is actually really is based from an axle case itself one with the bomb strapped home, and one from unsolved mysteries with a guy was trapped, is on bathroom walls up and hacked up and body parts was found by forensics in the people that was in that apartment they were caught and arrested and served a life sentence for what what they did, but Jane to the main point of what I was saying here is this John Kramer is it a fact known as the jigsaw killer but before this he was married to his wife, Jill Kramer and they had a very happy life together once they were supposed to have a son until that sunless to get away from them and his name was supposed to be Gideon Kramer Because of Cecil Adams and Amanda young you might recognize her from the blob and all of that so I thought you should know that then after that Cecil Adams was the first player of the chair and blade game, and when John Kramer was an engineer, and helping people to overcome their inner lies about themselves, so he does that to help them by putting them diggers situations that is where you would have to look at at from his standpoint as well that would be testing that they have the world to live with a sacrifice of a hand, or a foot or a little bit blood or something like that to order for them to survive that I have to sacrifice something not everybody is innocent so I bet that you might want to do it first time we of SAW 10 before you watch the others will give you a lot better understanding of what a John Kramer is he’s really a civil engineer so he tells the world to love live or die make their choice then he never killed anybody before in and in his life as far Cecilia Peterson says that she is just innocent just because she scams people then I make sure just plain innocent long as everybody else has worked with. I say no when was his cancer that start his work test the world to live I hope that this helps you out. I don’t know him just washed the others yet. If you have not told you, I wanna go endocrinology ordered do saw tan and it will give you more understanding about him if you just started watching the movies then I will suggest that you go on to play Saw turn And that was the key floating past him and it was a key that went down the drain and Adam is not dead. He have a sous vide alive when it never showed him being killed off at all. I hope that this helps you out about that because if you watch as a W 10 it changes everything. Oh, what happened to Adam? We don’t know what really happened to him otherwise, my character would be nowhere in these movies if you was dead, my on game trap is, looking for Adam Stan height but I hope Madras gives you some insight of of a game that I want some Tamil movie that will be brought up in the near future so either than that I hope that this does Hobby out some Cheryl form and you can’t say Erin’s dads or not say it if you just started watching these movies, they are known as horror/genre and then as well DR Devon around for years but other than that yeah I am doing a book about the whole tire thing but yeah I just thought you should know about that
