A FEW MORE SAW POINTS
Lions Gate Films let slip a few more details about their new horror acquisition SAW, in the form of a press release touting its Sundance Film Festival play. The more detailed plot synopsis is as follows: When Adam is jolted back to consciousness after nearly drowning at the bottom of a decrepit bathtub, he awakes to find himself chained to a rusty pipe inside a dark torture chamber. There is someone else in the room. Dr. Lawrence Gordon has also just regained consciousness and is chained to the opposite side of the space. Between them a man is lying in a pool of blood after apparently shooting himself in the head with the pistol in his hand. Adam and Dr. Gordon piece together the clues left behind by the deranged criminal mind that has brought them together and finally realize that they, too, must make a seemingly impossible set of choices for their lives.
The cast also includes the welcome return of actress Shawnee Smith, whos been out of the horror spotlight for a while since appearing in the remake of THE BLOB and the STAND miniseries, perennial bad guy Tobin Bell, whose credits include MALICE, SERIAL KILLER and the second season of 24, and Michael Emerson, who was a memorably creepy serial killer on THE PRACTICE a few years back.
