I went to see it on Friday morning at midnight. I wonder how long they are going to keep these things going.
I can see no end in sight until everybody just gets sick of the franchise or they are no new and interesting ways to kill people anymore.
And By the way great review
A review like that, and you graded it “D”?
Does not compute.
Yeah I saw it friday. Ugh. I dont know how people think those movies are awesome.
Hi Peter. This is me.
John, I probably should write a legitimate review, but until then, the reason for the D is that SAW V will make you squirm, which is all this franchise is good for. I like Julie Benz, Tobin Bell and Scott Patterson, so watching the movie is not inexcusable. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever as to why this ever needs to be seen in a theater, though.
The editing alone is brain shatteringly awful. It physically hurts me to watch it.
Look at how long they kept Firday the 13th going, Nightmare, even Hellraiser had a few more than they should have…If we have learned one thing form hollywood it is this…
As long as people keep paying to see them, they will keep making them.
“Due to an obscene obligation to see every horror movie that comes out theatrically within the first week of release, SAW V has the honor of being the first of the SAW films I’ve seen in theater.”
I’ve read this six times, and it still makes no sense. If you have an obligation to see them all, then how could this possibly be the FIRST?
This site is like a brain-teaser.
Scott, should have clarified that I started that rule this year.
Maybe after catching up on last night’s True Blood I’ll write a longer review of SAW V.
Ouch. =)
There was nothing wrong with the nightmare series until Freddy Vs Jason. Same with Friday until Jason X (Cmon, the best kill was when he punched the black kid’s head off into a trash can.)
However, when Hellraiser left what it was doing around…3? Yeah, that was pretty crappy.
Not as crappy as Saw though!
