Saw
When Adam is jolted back to consciousness
after nearly drowning at the bottom of a decrepit bathtub, he awakes
to find himself chained to a rusty pipe inside a dark torture chamber.
There is someone else in the room. Dr. Lawrence Gordon has also just
regained consciousness and is chained to the opposite side of the space.
Between them a man is lying in a pool of blood after apparently shooting
himself in the head with the pistol in his hand. Adam and Dr. Gordon
piece together the clues left behind by the deranged criminal mind that
has brought them together and finally realize that they, too, must make
a seemingly impossible set of choices for their lives.

Star Cary Elwes talked with SciFi
Wire recently about his thoughts on the film and revealed some info,
saying... "It was a page-turner that I could
not put down. Saw was written by two fellows from Melbourne who
came fresh out of film school, James Wan and Leigh Whannell."
He added... "They decided that they
wanted to make the cheapest film they could, so they started with the
premise of two people [Elwes and Whannell] chained to a wall, so they
couldn't walk around. There are no windows because they couldn't afford
scenery. Then they said, 'OK, so how do we figure out a story about
two people chained to a wall in a subterranean room?' They put a dead
man on the floor between the two guys chained to the wall. And what
came out of it was the most extraordinary and fun experience I've had
in a while."
He then goes on to say... "Tobin [Bell],
who's a wonderful actor, plays the dead guy on the floor, and it was
not fun for him because he spends the whole movie on the floor. He's
dead for the whole movie, but the character is seen in flashbacks, so
we needed somebody who could act. I'm one of the guys chained to the
wall. It's a really taut, suspenseful thriller and very, very dark."
