    Rated - 3 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    'SawRocks' review sucks.

    I've left my rating at an average 3 and will no doubt update if or when I see this movie. I have only seen one Saw movie but considering they all fit the same shape in general, from this trailer it looks nothing like the Saw movies.

    The story of this film is based on short story 'Button, Button' written by Richard Matheson and was shown on 'The Twilight Zone' all the way back in 1985 which I'm sure is long before the conception of the first Saw movie, which if i'm correct came out early 00s which means that even if it had been conceived as an early story it would not have influenced the original storyline of this film. That said, this film could be taking aspects from the hundreds of Saw movies made. However, how 'SawRocks' has judged his entire review on this one 3 minute trailer (Which quite frankly looks amazing) is beyond me. Also how 16 people found that review helpful, I don't know.
