It does say to not fill your brain with things that are bad. Notice how preachers do not condone watching movies of the sort. (Most preachers. Some do what they want and are not good leaders for the people in the church they serve God).
Ever read Judges, son? Read it. It's got some flat out disgusting stuff in it (even more so because it happened in real life). Sure,
Saw was bad, but try a guy giving his whore up to be gang-raped, then, after a night of the aforementioned rape, the whore dies, so the man cuts her up into twelve pieces and sends her all around the country. Yeah, that is in the bible.

I don't find how you can write on the topic of the Bible, and then write how you liked those movies that don't please the lord. You first tell some things to help a person, but you then give the person the ideas that "even though the man is doing wrong, the movies are good and you can watch them"
How do you know they don't please God? We don't have a direct connection, last time I checked. Besides, I think that movies such as
Saw and it's sequals are rather interesting as the make me think, an activity which I enjoy.

How do you know other people reading this won't decide "hey, he watches it, so that means I can too". What if they do out and then years down the road they are in a bad time in their life, remember what things they saw from the movies, and decide to execute them.
I am full aware of my responsibility here as someone who some people (apparently) quasi-look-up-to. I do not say or do things that I would not condone others doing. I know bloody well what I am doing and what the possible consequences are.

How would you feel knowing you told somebody it was alright to fill their mind with evil content, and then know you were the person that gave them the information they used to commit bad deeds.
Quite bad. Which, incidentally, is why I
don't tell people to do such things.
Saw was a thought-compelling movie that gave rise to good discussion pertaining to morality and the human instinct.
