Saw

Saw (2003) is the short horror-thriller you can watch online on iFILM. These ten minutes are where James Wan and Leigh Whannell launched what would become a whole horror franchise.

A hospital orderly named David recounts how he was abducted and forced into a vile game of survival. A reverse bear trap is locked onto his head, a timer ticking, and the only way out demands a brutal price. Whannell plays the victim himself. The pair shot this proof-of-concept to convince a studio to fund a feature — it worked, and the line "I want to play a game" went on to define the genre. Stream Saw (2003) online on iFILM.
