These are movies I saw in broad daylight in a marathon, but haunted me for the rest of the nights of the week after. At first, the movie was okay. While watching, you do not really feel the horror taking over, but what is worse is that you become overwhelmed after seeing the movie. Maybe that is just me, because I easily get scared, but for me, that is true.

Saw I and Saw II are the goriest films I have ever seen, and its effects on me are ones I wish never happened, ever.

You see, way, way before I saw these two movies, I wanted to become a CSI, a detective, a doctor, even, or practically anyone that had to deal with science and investigation. After seeing both these Saw movies, I realized that I could not deal with that much blood, gore and cruelty in real life. What a great way for me to dump one of my dreams, huh? No, not really.

It just seems like an ordinary each-character-will-die-one-by-one horror film, but I guess the film would not have been allowed if it did not have a purpose. Now, if you watch it and just leave as it is, a film, then you probably will have missed the little lesson hidden underneath all that blood. Yes, there is a lesson I learned: be obedient and learn to follow and trust people. This does not necessarily apply to everyone, because you should still rely on you instinct - but more often than not, those people, situations and chances that present themselves to you are ones you should pay attention to.
