How much is cut from SAW?

Posted by:

When I first heard that SAW was going to be cut, I immediately was upset. I really wanted to enjoy this film in all its guts and glory. Well according to Dread Central I don't have much to worry about. One of their staff went to a early screening of the film and compared it to the uncut version he has seen earlier.

"I was pleasantly surprised that I really didn’t see a huge difference between the uncut and theatrical version. There were a few minor cuts I noticed but if I had to take a guess on an actual running time of gore/violence cut from the film, I would say 30 seconds to a minute tops. This is a film that shows most of its gore in quick flashes and doesn’t dwell on it too long. I think horror fans will be quite pleased with what they get to see on the big screen and can later make their own comparison when the uncut version is released on DVD in 2005."
