10 Movies That Made You Cheer Brutal Moments
7. Saw - Lawerence Uses The Saw
Hopefully this is not just this writer's weird opinion, but the moment that oncologist Lawerence Gordon saws off his own foot at the film's climax of Saw is a wicked delight.
With his family in danger of suffering a horrifying fate at the hands of the Jigsaw Killer, Lawerence performs the ultimate courageous act to set himself free, sawing his foot off before our very eyes.
It is a moment that is teased throughout the film, but it always feels like the audience won't get what they secretly hoped for. Therefore it comes as a pleasant surprise when that moment does come, and the camera refuses to relent its focus off the brutally delicious act.
It is horror at its most gory and delightful, as we ride with each stroke of the saw Lawerence delivers upon himself, while simultaneously trying to hold down last night's dinner.
