Saw 6

[J-Man]

Yes, that’s right Saw 6. There is a new Saw movie every year. There will be 2 more confirmed as well. You’d think that with so many sequels coming out in so little time that the series would get boring or stupid. Not the case.

I think that with the number of Saw films in the series coupled with the time they are coming out and going against all other franchises, this may be the best franchise in any genre. Even James bond had a few stinkers along the way. Godzilla (as much as I LOVE Godzilla) had a few bad ones here and there. But not Saw, they are all great films!

You get what you pay for. Gruesome deaths, interesting contraptions, suspense, and a few twists.

All this and more was in Saw 6. Basically these movies are really just one big epic movie. Like Lord of the Rings, horror edition. Things get explained later on, then there are flashbacks to discuss any missed story elements.

Like in part 3 Amanda shoots the doctor…sort of for no reason. Later it’s explained that Amanda was just a wacko and wanted to kill people, not teach them the value of life (which is Jigsaw’s/John Kramers real purpose). But in This film you see the real reason she shot her. Interesting.

Anyway, if you liked Saw 1-5, I’m sure you’ll love Saw 6!

5/5

What's crazy about this Saw is...okay, we know there's always been the message of "you should appreciate life."...no duh. However, this one really hit close to home. As a guy who works in an office 5 days a week, I can appreciate the message...until I realized, it could be me on that damned carousel! All in the name of policy! What the hell?

It's true, though. How many times have we hidden behind "it's procedure" or "it's policy"? Is the legacy of this generation going to end up being that we were known as the society that refused to take responsibility, even though we know what is right? I mean, if a horror movie like Saw, which is most known for plot twists and impressive, fantastical traps feels it can throw that societal observation out there, then how bad is it? Food for thought.

Anyhow, this movie was awesome, without a doubt. The entire franchise is incredible in its ability to maintain continuity, keep the same players coming back, and for managing to produce a high-quality film within a year. I doubt we'll see another franchise like this, for a long time.
