1408
Enter. Never come out. Are

I Know who Killed Me
Fascinating... not the movie but at the mentality that finds horrible mutilation beautiful. There’s a Japanese coffee table that puts badly disfigured and burnt women in provocative poses, isn't there? This movie is something like that.

Saw IV
Always get a little boring when the movie tries to explain the killer. Saw 4 tries and fails, adds several pieces--but they're all the wrong pieces! Jigsaw is till jigsaw, therefore. Not as good as the first three--but still strong enough to sustain ...(read more)a fifth installment (I bet!).
