Saw VI comes out on October 23rd (http://www.saw6film.com/main.html)...
..sigh. When will they put the series to rest? JIGSAW DIED IN III. (Or you can say IV; I never bothered to watch that or V)
-
My dick is in a blender. Your face is in the toaster. You have the plugs. If we work as a team, we can obviously get out together, this isn't that tough. Whatever you do, DON'T plug it in to save yourself.
And you just toasted your face. Awesome.
-
Don't worry; Saw is clearly like Final Fantasy, in that 6, 7, and 9 are somehow going to be freaking awesome.
Also, I've never seen a SAW film in my life.
-
I don't get how people want to watch this. What good is a horror film that's all gore and no scares?
-
It's fetish material!

Seven?
-
I hate these movies.
-
Reminds me of that episode of Two and a Half Men where it's 20 or 30 years in the future, and Alan and Jake are working at a theater, and you can see a poster in the background that says SAW XXXVII or something.
I've never seen any of the Saw movies. Oh well.
-
What's enjoyable about watching them? I've tended to notice that
the people that watch them are the weirder ones. I know a couple of people
who watch them at college and they were saying how good it would be
to tie someone up and torchur them.... right... good luck with that...
-
there will be nine of them, and it will eventually taper off into a series. I know a guy who is with a company that has all of the contracts for set lighting with the saw movies. He told me this.

Much better.
Now on topic, I hated the saw movies. I usually get no enjoyment from watching horror movies.
-
There is no SAW IV, V or VI.
Only SEEN I, II, and III.
-
Yeah, I don't understand horror movies. Pepole getting mutilated, woo hoo! Oh boy, that 5yr old is in a giant blender, how exciting.
"The evil building got you" springs to mind.
-
The Saw movies really aren't my thing. Pointless gore and stupid games. If a movie is going to have gore, it needs to have a purpose. Saving Private Ryan was incredibly messy but at least that was in a war.
On a related note: Billy fail (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9eNru2WO6Y).
-
Skillcoat: It is not really much of a horror film, just random gore. Just throwing that out there.
Also, if you havent seen it before, then check out the confused matthew review of the first one which pretty much sums up the first one, and the basic structure of each additional film... Here (http://www.confusedmatthew.com/Saw.php)

Glad I'm not the only one who's disgusted by the fact that they can sell (and people will buy) these movies.
Couldn't stand Saw - I really like Cary Elwes though. Robin Hood Men in Tights anyone?

Oddly enough, I watched Saw IV a few nights ago, so unlike most of us here, I have a firsthand account of the fact that the movie is, at the least, sub-par. I at the very least enjoyed it on some primitive, violent level, but the constant, nagging memory that human limbs can not seamlessly be torn out of their sockets, flesh and all, by the sharp yank of a chain did interfere with that what mild amusement I got out of the movie considerably. Hell, reminded me alot of Brain Dead, which I also saw quite recently, only Brain Dead intended to be a joke. Saw is supposed to chill me, or so I've been informed.
The plot was about as inventive and well-executed as I expected, which, needless to say, was about on par with any sane person's expectation of a shitty horror movie, but it did carry me through regardless of being painfully stupid and circumstantial. I didn't care for the literal "How do you get all of this into a motel?" "One piece at a time." explanation of how no one intervened on the killing at any point in the movie. If anything, and it's probably impossible to know how ashamed I am for saying so, the movie was too short. Or just focused too much on the clown fellow's background. (I've since forgotten his name)
I'll see it, if it happens to be on any of the movie channels, but I highly doubt it will, and I have no intention of spending money on it. I'm anything but interested in public opinion (echoed well enough by my appearance alone) but not even I would be seen watching Saw in a cinema.
-
Stuff.
...and the crowd goes wild.
-
Wait wait wait... Saw has a PLOT!?
I kinda got lost in the bad acting, empty personalityless plot device characters, poorly executed scenes and effects, and... eh... if there is anything passable as a plot, it's sure well hidden!
Coincidentally, read my sig. =D
-
There is no SAW IV, V or VI.
Only SEEN I, II, and III.
It's like reverse-Star Wars.
-
Isn't star wars rather reverse to begin with anyway?
-
Surely you're not implying that Saw is straight-forward.
-
Saw is like that bundle of yarn your cat was playing with and somehow got it tangled up in the ceiling fan.
-
Saw is more like a movie that was made by a guy who thinks he can write and develop characters and such then make a decent movie, and a few people buy into it because they'll buy into anything and under peer pressure their (sheep) friends do too. And only later do they realize that the guy who made it can't write and even the filming was cheap and cheesy, and that the harassment of the doctor from the first movie was purely based on a penlight...
...
...
Yeah... a penlight.
All-in-all it is badly written, the characters can't even be called characters, they are circumstantial plot devices with no personality, the traps are too elaborate, the tools are too elaborate, the situations are unrealistic (how the dude from the first movie had a whole complex computer monitor system in the dudes own house is beyond me), the car chase scene looked like a spoof reel the way it was sped up. And the following sequels never made up for it.
What's next? Jigsaw comes back from hell to kill people in their dreams? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddy_Krueger)
-
Might I ask what movie you are talking about?
It sounds horrible.
-
It turns out that Saw's writer had come into the possession of a demonic entity and his only method of defeating the aforementioned evil consciousness was to personify him in a film series. That carries with it the unfortunate consequence of the consciousness being granted physical form through the memories and superstition of the various actors. The burden of slaying this demon at last is placed upon the original lead character's actor by the writer of the series, whom the spirit seems to have an especial penchant for harassing. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wes_Craven%27s_New_Nightmare)
-
The first two were okay. Then it sucked.
-
Aren't you a bit young to have seen Saw?
-
I've happily missed 3 onwards.
Or in other words, I saw saw.
I saw saw two too (http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg263/iareimporter/SmallAwesomeSmiley.png)
-
Kids these days.
Playing their violent video games and watching their violent movies and listening to their violent music and internetting those violent websites.
Ok, so a lot of those examples are more naked than violent, but you get the point. He's really no different than us oldersteins.
-
Oh, he's twelve? I figured he was younger. My mistake.
-
I guess I'm not missing out then, because I haven't seen any of them.
-
I hate this series.
-
It really is a stupid series. I like Billy the Puppet, and that's about it.
-
Oh, he's twelve? I figured he was younger. My mistake.
Rule 236 of the internet: If he's under 21, he's 12. No exceptions.
-
I've never seen a Saw movie. It's not just that gore porn doesn't appeal to me, but also that I'd rather not share a theater with people I'm convinced are subtle sadists.
-
Gore porn. You know.
-
Most fans are stereotypical 12 year olds. I was the only one smart enough to realize 3 onward sucked.
-
Hum. What other series do y'all think must absolutely die?
-
Trust me Val, he knows. He is just being... Lucas.
-
Hum. What other series do y'all think must absolutely die?
T1L1T?
-
Tilit? What?
-
Twilight.
In my failed attempt at pretteenspeak.
-
That's a series now? How many are there? I hope to God there's only two.
That way, it's a sequel, not a series.
-
There's supposed to be 4.
-
STALK ME EDWARD!
-
Argh, Twilight.
"Like, totally!"
"He's so hot! I want him to suck my blood!"
"He sparkles!"
I seem to have run out of aspirin AND bullets.
-
Hum. What other series do y'all think must absolutely die?
Hostel
-
Hostel
This too.
Although it's probably going to find future releases in the Straight-To market.
Unfortunately.
-
There's supposed to be 4.
****.
I'm done.

8.0 - Presentation
Kudos to the developers for capturing the essence of a Saw movie. It isn't perfect, but it's worth any horror fan's attention.
SAW IS NOT SCARY.
-
SAW IS NOT SCARY.
I'd say it's scary. It's the scariest **** ever, because they can make 6 of these films AND people will pay to see them AND they will enjoy them.
-
Good point.

Now is that really necessary? ****.
Sad thing is, it just might be profitable.
Come to think of it, are there really any GOOD horror movies out there?

Jaws and Passion of The Christ.

Jaws
I was scared as hell to even go near the water for a while after that.
-
Yes. Just not enough.
-
I don't like saw. To much gore :-X
-
Or any adventure game ever made by Sierra. Ever.
-
"It keeps players on their toes because these traps don't wound, they kill, every time. "
You know, this Saw game, it reminds me of Sprite for Life.
Freddie is actually Jigsaw.
(Whatta twist!)
-
Darned sadists. Then again, it isn't even scary, it isn't even really so gross as much as dorky in execution.
-
Never watched one. Never will. Yet I had a dream about a poorly written Saw movie.

Does Silence of the Lambs count? I guess that's more drama/suspense.
-

I wouldn't say it's really horror... but it's still an excellent movie. Hannibal, not so much. Didn't even bother to watch Hannibal Rising.
Actually, two of the stupidest movies my parents showed me gave me nightmares when I was little:
The Thing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_from_Another_World) and the Blob (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blob_(1988)). Now I can watch those and crack up. But when you're only a few years old...
-
It makes me crack up epically so.
I'm pretty sure if I were to have seen it when I was littler, then it would have made me **** my pants.
Thrice.
-
My aunt's terrified of clowns. So we tried to show her without telling what it was about...
She got to Tim Curry in the sewer.
-
I would totally pay to see a Sesame Street horror movie.
It'd be terrifying.
Wow that was off topic.
-
Or something else terrifying: If Winnie the Poo and friends were like real animals.

"Hey, Tigger, do you want some carro-"
*Tigger eats Hare
"P-p-p-p-poo, have you seen H-h-hare? I-"
*CHOMP
Horror movies for little kids.
-
It
Made me **** myself with fear.
Tim Curry is the scariest man I knew growing up. Clowns are unpleasant, on top of that.
Although I'm suddenly very interested in re-watching Clue. Despite childhood fears, I do love Tim Curry.
