The Saw Doctors are an Irish rock band.

The Saw Doctors were formed in 1986 by Leo Moran ( formerly a member of defunct Tuam reggae band, Too Much for the White Man ), Davy Carton ( formerly a songwriter and guitarist with short-lived Tuam punk band Blaze X ), and local vocalist Mary O ' Connor.

Moran and Carton have been the only constant presences in the Saw Doctors ' ever-shifting line-up.

At present, the Saw Doctors are Leo Moran ( vocals, guitar ), Davy Carton ( vocals, guitar ), Kevin Duffy ( keyboards ), Anthony Thistlethwaite ( bass guitar, saxphone ), and Rickie O ' Neill ( drums ).

The Saw Doctors rose to gain national attention during 1987 and 1988 as they toured in support of popular Irish bands such as the Hothouse Flowers and The Stunning.

In the spring of 1988, when The Saw Doctors were playing a six-week residency at the Quays Bar in Galway, their live show attracted the attention of The Waterboys, who were then recording their Fisherman's Blues album in nearby Spiddal.

Pub sessions and budding friendships among the two groups would prove fruitful for the Saw Doctors ' future, and would see eventual crossovers between the two groups.

In the autumn of 1988, The Saw Doctors filmed a rockumentary on a flat-bed truck while driving between Galway and Salthill.

A parody of U2's newly released Rattle and Hum film, in which U2 played Bob Dylan's " All Along the Watchtower " from a flat-bed truck in San Francisco, The Saw Doctors ' Crackle and Buzz had its world premiere at the Claddagh Palace Cinema in Galway.

The Saw Doctors played live from the cinema's balcony, caricaturing the short acoustic set U2 played atop the Savoy Cinema on O ' Connell Street when Rattle and Hum premiered there on 27 October 1988.

In late 1988 and early 1989, The Saw Doctors accompanied The Waterboys on tours of Ireland and Great Britain.

In August 1989, The Waterboys ' frontman Mike Scott produced the band's first single, " N17 ," a song about an Irish emigrant longing to be driving on the N17 national route which connects Galway with Co. Mayo and Co. Sligo, psssing through the Saw Doctors ' hometown of Tuam.

Their career was giving a boost when at the 2008 Meteor Irish Music Awards, The Saw Doctors received the Lifetime Achievement Award.

In 2009 after six studio albums, Universal Music released To Win Just Once-The Best of The Saw Doctors.

Although the Saw Doctors have released only seven studio albums over their two-decade career, their live shows have brought them international renown.

The DVD also contained a 50-minute documentary, " A Different Kind of World ," following the Saw Doctors around their favourite locales in the West of Ireland ( including a trip to Clare Island ) and showing them on tour in Brooklyn, New York.

In August 2005, Elwes filed a lawsuit against Evolution Entertainment, his management firm and producer of Saw.

The 1973 film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre ( along with the 2003 remake ) claims to be based on true events, but this is not the case.

Wes Craven's The Hills Have Eyes ( 1977 ) and Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre ( 1974 ) recalled the Vietnam war ; George A. Romero satirized the consumer society in his zombie sequel, Dawn of the Dead ( 1978 ); Canadian director David Cronenberg featured the " mad scientist " movie sub-genre by exploring contemporary fears about technology and society, and reinventing " body horror ", starting with Shivers ( 1975 ).

An extension of this trend was the emergence of a type of horror with emphasis on depictions of torture, suffering and violent deaths, ( variously referred to as " horror porn ", " torture porn ", Splatterporn, and even " gore-nography ") with films such as The Collector, The Tortured, Saw, and Hostel, and their respective sequels, frequently singled out as examples of emergence of this sub-genre.

The Saw film series holds the Guinness World Record of the highest-grossing horror franchise in history.

Examples of this genre include Psycho, Black Christmas, Halloween, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Prom Night, Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Hatchet, Friday the 13th, Child's Play, Candyman, and A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Examples include Cannibal Holocaust, Piranha 3D, Blood Feast, Demons, Saw, Guinea Pig series, Hostel, Cannibal Ferox, Martyrs, Hobo with a Shotgun, Inside, Antichrist, The Collector, and The Midnight Meat Train.
