The short that led to Saw was surprisingly good, and I liked the movie too. Was it perfect? No way... wasn't even close. But look at the 20 "horror" flicks released in theaters in 2004. I'd say that Saw was easily in the top five and probably in the top three.
1 The Grudge
2 AVP: Alien Vs. Predator
3 Dawn of the Dead
4 Saw Horror
5 Resident Evil:
6 Exorcist: The Beginning
7 Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid
8 Seed of Chucky
9 Darkness
10 Gothika
11 Godzilla: The Original Japanese Version
12 Ju-On: The Grudge
13 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
14 Riding the Bullet
15 Malevolence
16 A Tale of Two Sisters
17 Fabled
18 The Manson Family
19 Evil Remains
20 The Hillside Strangler
Personally Saw is one my my favorite post 2000 horror films and a very consistent franchise... so far.
