The entire audience laughed out loud, but it didn't phase anyone, as each audience member was fascinated and in love with all that was Saw in the little moment in the midwest. That is until the twist ending, where everyone but one sole survivor in the audience felt the need to stand up and walk slowly out of the theater when the big reveal was presented and yell 'BOOOO' as he continued to walk out. It was the best audience for the film as it was packed with cheers, applause, gross-out yells, and more. The buzz was in the air and people were clamoring for a thrilling jolt to their horror roots. Getting personal for a moment, one of the best movie-going experiences for me was watching Saw opening night in the biggest theater that was completely sold out. And still, almost twenty years later, this original first film stands the test of time as a smart, inventive, and highly entertaining horror flick. Knight Shymalan wish he had a hand in Saw. There's good reason for it too because nothing had been done quite like this before and the twist ending could make M. But with its excellent, dark, scary premise, and the ability to cast a couple of amazing actors (Cary Elwes and Danny Glover) amongst others, along with its fresh new, stylized edits and cuts that were hip at the time, and of course the decent amount of carnage and gore - this film went onto gross more than $100 million financially, which spawned seven sequels, a toy line, a comic book, and a reboot with Spiral. This little horror film was made on a shoestring budget for only one million dollars. One of the biggest horror franchises to ever splash onto the big screen was 2004's Saw, written and directed by newcomers James Wan ( The Conjuring) and Leigh Whannell ( The Invisible Man).
