No, it's an "every normal person I know is going to come and kill me" sort of movie. One body is enough for a horror film, and the ending of that movie was one of the more horrifying--and, at the time, surprising--things I've ever seen.

I skip Saw, Hostel and the current breed. I'm turning into my father, whose constant refrain was "That's not entertainment."

Yes, we've reached that prime age where we start doing things our parents did. I yell at kids to stay off the lawn. Chris can'r hear. I like orange suddenly. How far must we go?

Saw 2 scared the everloving daylights out of me. I bawled for about 2 hours after I saw it and didn't sleep for 2 weeks. Probably because JigSaw looks like clown and I hate clowns. "every normal person I know is going to come and kill me" is something I've come to accept

I think when I saw it the ending really bothered me. It was very disturbing and horrifying. I guess I saw horror I mean gore, which this is not.

I was wondering if I forgot about the car crash or not. Thanks Flippy.
