User Reviews

Metaphysical; psychological; mystical; horrifying.

Amazing underrated gem of psychological thriller. One of my fav movies 10/10.

Absolutely mind-bending film that keeps the punches rolling.

Effective mind game of a movie. Moves quickly and is rather tense. No complaints except for the huge “WHY” that’s impossible not to ask.

James Barbarotto

Saw in Space. Not as good as the first Saw, but better than the sequels.

Leaves a lot to be desired but still enjoyable.

Very interesting and went places I didn’t expect. It’s good, but not as great as it could be.

Lucas Marquardt

Such an amazing movie. Trippy and intense, gory and fun. Really keeps the tension high and you wanting more. Characters are interesting too.

Fun premise and some satisfying character moments. Their development was surprisingly decent but I do think it could have gone deeper.

I love limited setting, small cast, simple plot films that are still able to keep you hooked to the end. This ‘Saw’-lite puzzler succeeds.
