    Based on Ted Dekker's 2003 best-seller, not to be confused or mistaken for a 'Saw' rip-off (The Saw franchise didn't launch until 2004). I loved the story, the book was great. I don't think the film did it any justice at all, perhaps a larger budget would have helped.

    This movie wasn't bad. Although it seemed very much like a Saw copycat. They called it the Riddle Killer while in saw you have Jigsaw. Oh wow big difference. The ending was a good change for the movie so it didn't seem all like a Saw movie. This movie was good because I love the Saw movies.

    Would have wanted to watch it, but they had to be really fucking stupid and replace one of the "e" letters with a number 3. R3TARDED.

    I loved this movie...and i loved the book! they're both great. The only bad thing was I pictured Slater different...and I wanted to know his name sooner (it's my last name...i like hearing it in movies)

    This is the ultimate thriller! This is how movies should be made! It's thrilling and suspenseful, it proves you don't need to say a bunch of curses to make a point, and it has a vaguely generic Christian message (though it was hardly a convincing coming from someone wearing a Roman collar) all with an ending that makes you go 'Oh. OH! Oooooh!'

    This low-budget flick has quite an intricate story, and in better hands it might have worked. However, it ends up being a little to far fetched. Though, it may just be the mediocre actors, unrealistic dialog and poor FX that makes it seem so. Despite all this, I still found the movie somewhat entertaining.

    It was quite a good movie to see. The suspense was good, not great but good. It doesn't have the bloody killing you usually see in suspense movies. The story was great. The ending was quite a let down. How they made the conclusion was like riding in roller coaster. It's like having two pieces of puzzle that do not match.

    Is it just me or did the filmmaker rip the title off from Se7en? Oh trust me this isn't the only thing this 2nd rate Fincher stole from that classic film. It steals almost his camera tricks from the great filmmaker but can never develop any real chills. If you include the awful acting and it's attempt to scare kids to becoming good catholics (The only thing it doesn't take from Se7en.) You have a pretty terrible film on your hands.

    It wasn't the best, but it was fairly well done. I liked it about as much as I liked the book. Ted Dekker, even though a bit strange in his writing, is very tricky and clever, and this movie is no exception either.

    Tense, i really liked this one, and the ending really surprised me. It was great, although some of the actors needed a bit more practice. Nicely done!

    It had Bill Moseley in it, so it had to be decent! haha. Not bad really though. Kinda along the same lines as Saw, but with a twist in it.

    Not too bad. Felt like a tame version of Saw for awhile. Twist at the end was all over the place but at least hadn't figured it out. The girlfriend's acting was a bit wooden but Bill Mosely is always himself (lol) and Marc Blucas was ok in the lead. Took me awhile to realize he was the guy from Buffy. Drove me nuts!

    This movie was not very well done. And I was sad, because I really wanted to like it, because the story is so amazing. So...read the book. And hope Ted Dekker gains enough cred to make good movies soon.

    I saw this movie and thought it was very strange. I have a friend who red the book and he really liked it and so do I.

    The book is EXCELLENT. But the movie definately left out some stuff from the book. But still okay to check out.

    It may have seemed to not have a logical plot or to have any "Christian" aspects to it, but that wasn't the point of the movie...it wasn't to blatantly have a "alter call" effect either. It was to get people thinking...and yes, it was obviously not a high-budget film, but if you look past the need for super duper fancy effects or the like, and maybe better acting, it is actually really good...especially if you had previously read the best-selling book by Ted Dekker....
