i saw a saw saw a saw

HY's little cousin F invited me to a screening of Saw on a spooky Friday night. Now how did I ever agree to that? Realising all was too late, I made an effort to get tipsy before the ordeal takes place so that I could see everything in a funny manner. After a chunk of pasta I was disappointingly back to my senses. This movie is basically about two strangers discovering themselves chained in the same room, with a head-smashed dead corpse lying in the centre. They gradually find out their relationship to each other, their reason for ending up in this shithole, with this psychopath playing various mental games on them, until one loses his sanity by sawing off his foot, well done. My description may not be accurate, for roughly speaking I only watched 20%, the rest I was hidden under my big coat; it was no less different from listening to a radio show. Who would expect a person that appears to like Disney productions would have a penchant for thrillers?
