Did this remind anyone of "Saw"? *SPOILERS*

I never saw "Saw" so I can't comment on the similarities but I'm sure someone will.

I will say though that this novel is generally believed to be the prototype for the modern day slasher films - i.e. small group of people in a confined space murdered systematically with the murderer unknown until the end - a genre Saw belongs to. I don't usually like horror/occult/slasher type films so I'm only superficially familiar with many of them. I read And There Were None when it was called Ten Little Indians many years ago as a teenager. I remember liking the book but can honestly say I only watched this series because Aidan Turner was in it. I'm glad I did as everyone (cast and production) was excellent.

That's because Agatha Christie's original novel was a groundbreaking achievement. It established a whole genre of psychological thrillers and horror movies decades before this genre would spill over into films.

Like saw, but good.

The other way round, friend :)

Like the other posters said, the source material was a groundbreaking masterpiece which established a very specific genre that Saw and other movies like it would follow decades later.

Never seen Saw but from what you describe it sounds like a direct homage to ATTWN.

"If people were to know of the things that I know, it would all fall apart..."

Same thing crossed my mind! I wondered if the makers of SAW had read the book. I'm sure this plot device has been used in other things I've seen as well.

It's too cerebral! We're trying to make a movie here, not a film!

Not really, I didn't think of it.

Yes, it did.
