Quotes:

[first lines]
Fourteen: [crawling in the dark, distressed breathing, scream, falls naked into lit room]
Six: Shit! Now we're talkin'. I think she's the last one boss.
Eight: You're going to be okay. We'll get you some clothes.
Fourteen: What's going on?

waste of time...

Actually I got high expectations at first when I see the cover. But without any doubt, I can define this movie as a time waste. Especially if you had watched the saw series you will regret that you spend time on this. It has obviously a very similar script of saw, but the thing is that, it does not have a strong or sharp subject. Indeed even the climax was very "unsuprising". On the other hand at the end you think that the whole thing got an idea, I mean it must have some logic behind the events; but guess the guy who wrote this just wanna do some money by making films without any talent. Still it is unfortunate that he got that idea while watching Saw.. Wish the writer will come up with some original ideas...
