Summary: A horror thriller, with enough blood and gore to satisfy aficionados of this genre. Two men find themselves chained up in a raunchy underground bathroom with a dead body in a pool of blood between them. They have no idea how they got there. The only things they have are a tape from the maniac who put them there and a saw which will not cut their chains but will serve to cut off a limb if they really, really want to free themselves.

- Directors James Wan and Leigh Whannell wanted to make a film after they finished film school, but they could only afford one room.

This film was the product, and it is considered one of the most profitable and successful horror films of all time.
