bad bad bad and bad, I had all caps but IMDb told me not to shout, 9 October 2006
Author: (oojijoo) from United States
It is only getting one star because there isn't an option for a complete zero. I have seen better day time cartoons than this movie. Not only was the plot stolen from SAW, it almost seems as if you're watching the movie again but yet through the eyes of a 2 year old. Awful acting, poor script, VERY VERY BADLY DIRECTED, I really just don't know how to tell you to stay away from this movie other than please.. rather than waste your time watching this, just think of all the harm you could be doing to the ozone.. or maybe even go to your kids softball game, or just stick your finger down your throat and induce vomiting to get the effect of how you will feel after watching this movie knowing you will never be able to get this part of your life back forever. LOL

Horrible, 21 April 2007
Author: jtvaisan from Kuopio, Finland
This movie is horrible. I wouldn't mind the fact that it's a complete rip-off of saw-movies if there was even one bright spot in this movie, but it is so bad in every way that this one made it to my personal bottom-5 of all times.
The ways people die in this one are not as "innovative" as in the saw-movies, the acting is terrible and especially the heroic chick to whom the plot is based upon in the end is an enormous cliché.
I really can't think of anything good to say about this movie. Please, don't waste your money on this one. Not even the rental fee. What a complete waste of time.

cheap saw imitation, 18 September 2006
Author: wrlang from United States
Are You Scared is a cheap imitation of Saw. A madman kidnaps a bunch of teens who apply for a reality TV contest. Turns out the show is way too real for everyone as they all start dying in contests where there is no way to win and there is an audience of one. Everything moves pretty fast, which is nice when the effects and dialog are well below average. Lighting was terrible, camera work was fine, screen play was OK. Directing was marginal, and editing was good. Some twists at the end made it a little more interesting. One thing I noticed is that I didn't feel sorry for the characters when they died because they were all pretty annoying. Even the police and FBI characters didn't generate any real sympathy.

"C" Rated Saw, 28 September 2006
Author: claytonalee from United States
If you've seen Saw, then you are aware of the basic principles of the movie. A disturbed individual kidnaps a bunch of kids and claims they are apart of a game show. Little do they know, the only winnings will cost them their lives. This demented thriller seems to follow in its footsteps with a little twist; it sucks. Simply stated, the actors are terrible. The 'victims' took acting 101, but beyond that the rest of the crew needs to go back to their day job. Gore, blood, and fried carcass galore. Looking for some more twisted violence and you can look past the poor acting, then maybe you can sit through this nightmare. My advise is to pass and go see Saw III.

Saw 2 Anyone? Everyone?, 15 September 2006
Author: iarepacman from New Jersey
*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
Okay, the movie itself, removed from anything isn't bad at all. Good production values, decent fx work enhanced with some (budget) cg work, nice camera work, good sound and score, etc. The characters are contrived and two dimensional, but thats not the actor's fault. They don't write their own lines. For the most part, they do as much as they can with what was given to them, and at no point distract from the story. Ah the story. What if Mason Verger from "Hannibal" watched Saw 2, and decided to copy it nearly scene for scene, character for character? Well that would give you this little flick. Generally these copycat movies take a premise and at least alter it (the asylum's under cutter films immediately come to mind: The Hillside Cannibals, The Paossesion of Gail Bowers, When a Stalker Comes, Snakes on a Train, etc) This one however just blatantly rips off Saw 2. Right down to the surgically implanted key, and the Dina Meyer character. Copying a theme is bad enough, but going so far as too copy specific scenes in hugely successful films, and then having them released a year later is just pathetic. I mean had this film been released before, or concurrently with Saw 2, it would be something, but a year later? Come on now. At any rate, if you can put aside the blatant lack of originality, or if you are a horror fan who hasn't seen the Saw franchise, you will probably enjoy this, but if you have seen it, then pass this one.

Are you Saw?, 8 September 2006
Author: milescorn from Baker City
*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
Some movies seem to be nothing more than a rehash of movies that were at one time very well done. Others are just mindless remakes that take what was good from the original, add some kind of thin plot so that it is not the same movie they are ripping off, then say that it is something new or original. This you have seen before, from the time the movie opens to when the movie ends, and if you can not guess what movie this is you are watching I will give you two hints. Saw and Saw two. When a group of young people wake up in an abandoned wear house they soon discover that they are all being watched by some one who has put cameras everywhere, then they are asked to play a game and face what they fear the most. In the mean time two officers are trying to solve the puzzle by thinking the bad guy is trying to teach people a lesson through his own pain. Will they find the young people in time, will the young people survive the traps, will the movie ever end? Watch and find out, same saw time, same saw channel.

Garbage!, 22 January 2007
Author: c-f-eller from United States
Garbage. That's all I can say about this piece of crap. I was rooting for the killer. The main characters were so irritating and stupid, I wish they would have died earlier. Didn't the killer think about the fact that these "teens" would tear out those low hanging cameras? How about the dumb loud mouth girls standing in the middle of the room in the only light available making enough noise to raise the dead. Stupid! Most annoying people I have ever seen in front of a camera (I will not call these people actors, they couldn't act their way out of a paper bag). Never mind that the movie is a blatant rip off of another movie. Even if it wasn't, I'd still call it a piece of crap. When are they going to stop making these "teenagers in peril" trash? I'd almost rather see remakes. There was nothing entertaining, sexy, or interesting about the film. What a waste. I'm never renting Lion's Gate garbage again. After Mr. Jingles, I should have known better anyway. Save your money and watch "Saw" again. There's nothing but stupidity here. The only good thing about the movie is...hopefully all the casting agents will see the crappy actors in this dung heap and refuse to ever put them in front of another camera. I hated this movie! No doubt about it! I hope some of the technicians involved used a fake name. They deserve better than have their name on this piece of trash.

Holy crap....crap crap crap!, 21 January 2007
Author: horneka from Nova Scotia, Canada
Okay, I'm a huge movie fan, HUGE. I have been made fun of by friends and my brothers for some of the movies I've liked. Where is this going? My point....I like a VERY wide variety of movie and it takes a really, really bad piece-of-crap movie before I will dislike it. This movie was TOTAL CRAP! Not only was this a very VERY weak attempt to rip-off a first-class movie (the "Saw" series) but they didn't even try to be original. Even down the bad guy's voice and use of voice modifier, it was such a total crappy rip-off of Saw. I'm not even going to waste any more time listing all the bad things about this movie because I've already wasted the time watching it (I admit, I couldn't make it past the first 37 minutes!).
My advice to you? Go into your local video store, put on a blindfold, wander around, and stick your hand out and grab anything within reach....and I promise you it will be better than this film.

Push the button... and switch off the DVD, 15 September 2006
Author: juanlqr from Argentina
*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
Ohhh yeah! This is a bad Saw movie's copy. Three boys ( a noisy and stupid black guy that obvious dies first ) and three cute girls with nice legs were kidnapped by a crazy guy who has a burned face. Then wake up in an abandoned wear house they soon discover that they are all being watched by some one who has put cameras everywhere, then they are asked to play a game and face what they fear the most. At the same time two officers are trying to solve the case. The games are handled by... buttons! How much imagination from Andy Hurst. When the two brothers are in the chairs they want to put an scene of drama like the last minutes of "Titanic" and it sucks. The actors are worse than Paris Hilton at "House of Wax" and the effects are really bad.
It does not produce fear, it's not original and if you like "Saw" you do not rent it.
Sory, but my English it's very bad...

yeah um this a bad version of saw, 12 September 2006
Author: TheGOLDENWALRUS from United States
*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
I wasn't expecting much from this film but wow, what an amazing rip off of saw;just like how the lead singer of Creed tried to be Eddie Vedder. The only difference in this movie is that the victims think they're in a game show. wahoo! There's not too much to say about the movie. Each victim gets knocked off one by one as of course there is three girls and three boys with a token black guy and guess who gets killed first? Then towards the end they try to make this movie good by adding twists but I have to say, i Did predict the ending.
Now if you love your b-horrors than watch this film. It's not the worst that I've ever seen and many of you may find it entertaining. For all you Saw fans, skip this one.
