Before Jigsaw had even constructed his first Meccano set, Kathy Bates (Annie Wilkes) was already causing havoc in some snowy corner of Colorado. In what is otherwise a subtle movie full of suggested insanity, small displays of power and mounting tension, one scene breaks this trend as being not only greatly shocking but massively disgusting. Having fortuitously found the author of her favourite book, Paul Sheldon, injured in the middle of nowhere following a road accident, the overly-friendly Bates agrees to take him into her care. When he nears full recovery she takes matters into her own hands, taking a sledgehammer to his ankles to prevent him leaving her. Your ankles won't feel the same for days after watching this scene. Blagh!
