Better title for this story:
"Has this horror franchise 'sawed' its day"

i saw it on Saturday. it was great same story but interesting
it is getting more hardcore every year
personally i liked it

I thought this recent Saw was one of the best ones in the series. It had an interesting plot and we finally got to see more inside the mind of Jigsaw the human.

When I think about it, Jigsaw was never a bad human being. He just wanted people to see how life should be cherished when faced with death.

I really like the psychological thrill that was part of the first few Saw movies. Like any movie that tries to continue the story, it lost its edge. I went to see Saw 6 on Saturday and was highly disappointed.

Americans are funny people: executions, torture, and dismembering are all OK, but the sight of a nipple drives them nuts.

Watching this film made me consider slitting my side open with a penknife and extracting my own liver to relieve the tedium.

the market for horror movies is very great. i can see the saw franchise reaching 20 if not 100. the target audience is relatively young and demanding. for this simple fact this tradition will keep on keepin on

It's about time that people get tired of torture p*rn!

saw both movies saw was interesting but paranormal activity isn't as great as they say.

Maybe audiences are just starting to mature?

Even without watching them, its a safe bet that that any movie franchise that can crank out six movies in six years (with another two planned for the next two years) isn't worth my time. Especially in this case, when each one is simply the same gimmick, year after year.

The series comes and goes. I just wish they'd serve some overarching story a bit better. The whole thing ends up feeling like something cobbled together rather than a truly continuous story.

Some of us still cannot be easy understanding that is B2B Dogma95 cinema and not some of our worst nightmares.

I saw it on Sunday.... it was great the best one ever especially when the lady cut of her arm and just left a piece in the beginning of the movie

I've never seen any of the Saw films. Frankly, they never appealed to me. They may have a spine, but they don't appear to have a brain. In my opinion, one of the greatest horror films made was "Silence of the Lambs."

Psychological suspense beats full-blown gore any day of the week. Blood makes you queasy... suspense makes you squirm. And suspense without too much gore makes you think.

The crucial element of the Saw series is the method by which victims are chosen. While gore inevitably features most prominently in the films, it must do so in the context of a moral code as presumed by the killer. The films originally focused on drug addicts, transients and people who had lost sight of their families, and for this reason there was a clear, if not acceptable, moral continuity that gave the films an air of relatability. However, Saw IV and on really lost sight of this story method to the extent that Saw VI now focuses entirely on supposedly evil creditors, insurance companies and ordinary, honest people who did their jobs in the context of social realism. The fact that there was no compelling or even slightly substantiated reason for killing regular, morally uncomplicated and guiltless people is more sickening than the gore, and for that reason the films are now at a new level of gratuity perhaps not envisioned in the first film. If the franchise is to be enhanced over yearly sequels, the writers need to do a better job of justifying their victims, as the unfortunately topical maxim of hating people who work within a culturally and legally approved system is a poor effort. We deserve better intellectually.

I love the Saw movies. I've thoroughly enjoyed every one, and hope they keep making them. It wouldn't be Halloween without it.

Loved the first SAW movie, loved the 2nd SAW movie, really liked the 3rd Saw movie, 4th was ok and didn't see 5 or 6 yet.....I am ready to see Paranormal Activity. I am ready to be "scared" not just scared and grossed out.

If the antagonist in the SAW movies is supposedly at death's door and that's why he keeps going around "showing people what it's like" to be close to death or whatever, why on earth is he still here?! Why not just get it over with and make SAW a cable channel and have a weekly show.

Ok, Here's The Truth....

Saw is a TERRIBLE FRANCHISE...The Dialouge is terrible, The Acting Is very VERY below par, and the story is weak..

What happened to people who know about Good Movies? What happened to movies Such as 'Silence of The Lambs'? 'Interview With a Vampire'?, Or 'The Sixth Sense'? Just To Name A Few...These were clever, well-written, acted, and executed movies..This Saw Business is Terrible, and it worries me that the American People are Soooo Simple Minded That They Think these saw movies are actually good films....

Want a few suggestions?..Skip Saw...Wait Until Shutter Island Comes out, and I'm Sure Mr. Scorsese Will Release a R-E-A-L Quality horror flick...Hell, 'Let the Right One In' is a better horror movie than all 40 saws put together..A Franchise that must be drug out that long is unnecessary, and also is just poor cinema...

what ever happened to the good horror movies?? The ones that didn't need a constant tidal wave of bood and guts to be entertaining. The new "torture porn" is absolutely disgusting and quite frankly it really disturbs me that so many people find it entertaining.

real horror should play on what you can't see and what your imagination creates not who can torture someone into hacking their own limb off torture porn is a much better title i don't see where it could really fit into any horror genre for a measly 15000 dollars that's a damn good flick!

And one more thing D2Thaz i will wholeheartedly agree with you the saw franchise annoyed me from day one and i have only seen the first one and none of the however many sequels there are

It is a cultural embarrassment that "gore" and "splatter" films like the Saw series are even made. It's absolutely disgusting that anyone would want to watch them. Much less pay to watch them.

I love the gore and splatter films, Michael Adams, and if you don't shut your mouth and go watch some romantic comedy with your boyfriend.

I love the horror genre, but I have never seen any of the Saw movies or Hostel. I've been told that the Saw series have psychological elements that make them interesting and exciting to people. But my own opinion is that watching people get tortured, mutilated, beaten and killed should not be considered entertainment. What does that say about our society?
