This was a fine film. It has three novel twists which I didn't see coming. The performances are very well done. Parents: Almost all murders are off-screen, but the mutilated bodies are shown on-screen many, many times (mostly through photos repeatedly being seen). There are two startling jump scenes (one involving a corpse and another a gun); there is also an intense chase sequence which ends in injury. The ending is what prevented me from buying this. Now, it wasn't a bad ending; it was a good-bad ending. godd as in it was well-done with a good twist that took me by storm(!); the bad being it was very dark and very sad. If you don't like dark endings, this is NOT the movie for you. P.S., you'll never look at air freshners the same again!

I honestly think if you let your 8 or 9 year old watch this movie, they won't understand it at all. The only thing they'll see is the violence, but they won't understand the psychological points in this movie, or the ending. I say if your kids can handle Saw, & are mature enough to know what's right & wrong I say there's nothing wrong with them watching this movie. Awsome movie by the way...
