Opinions about Saw V
Ok... me being an absolute horror nut I relish the opportunity to continue watching movies related to good characters. All the Friday's, Halloween's, Nightmares, etc...
But I am curious as to what people think about Saw 4 and now Saw V coming out on October 24th. I have to admit it was pretty sweet to see Robert the Bruce from Braveheart be the star of Saw IV but still even he died at the end of that one. The home page for the movie has the one remaining bad guy using Jigsaw's face as a mask ala Leatherface, which I have to admit was pretty cool looking. Seems to me this is a money grab... but they will of course get mine as I will have to see it.
Thoughts?

In an interview one of the producers actually used the phrase "Making these movies is like a license to print money".
Hell Lion's Gate went so far to capitalize off the SAW brand that they even made another horror movie I have on DVD called... crap I'm at work can't remember the name of it... basically a game show where you had to face your worst fear but all of the things were rigged traps that killed you... it was so much like Saw it shoulda been called Saw 1.5 or something.
I'm kinda excited about saw V, will be interesting how everything ends (assuming this is the last in the series)
Edit* According to wikipedia theres going to be a saw VI !

letting us watch nightmare on elm street everytime we came down to their house... on BETA!!!!
yea i'm old...
I can't wait to see it, i'm sure there will be a surprise in it that could lead into a 6th, who knows, but i'd love to see that too
You said Beta... LOL! Wow that is old... nothing like stubby video tapes. Did your family buy into Laser Disc players too? hehe... sorry sorry
My dad still has his laser disk player lol
About all they're good for, but I love 'em. I needed more cheap stuff to adorn the stairwell on the way down into the batcave.
Well I heard somewhere that Part VI is going to be the final version of the SAW franchise. I don't know if these people were making this up but that is what I heard. It is supposed to add up to an even bigger plot then Part I-V combined.

nope, no one in my family has owned a laser disc player or a laser disc for that matter
geez, what do you think, we were wealthy?
I still have a copy of star wars on beta
and if anyone has a cheap working laser disc player they want to rid themselves of please contact me. I have a nice pile of LDs that i picked up at a thrift years ago
I think the best horror film I saw recently was Descent. Oh man that was great IMHO.
Of course it's a money grab

I'm pretty sure the guy that said that was the guy who makes all those shitty spoof movies like Date Movie, Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, etc etc all fucking crap.
nesguy - I completely agree. I'm more into actual horror movies, and I can't really get my wife to watch gratuitously gory movies that are what currently pass for "horror".
i sat in front of the tv today watching the sci fi channel. there were freddy and jason movies on! ahhhh, it was a great day!
every halloween, i actually look forward to the new Saw that comes out. i think they are awesome.

I got the all to download on the movie thread in this section
This is the one I was referencing above. Are You Scared. Lion's Gate film, reminds me of SAW very much, ripping off their own movies.
Although the one scene on the front is pretty bad ass... it involves a set of twins, brother and sister to be exact... their greatest fear is to live without the other. So they get sat down and strapped into chairs facing each other with a long track between them. Huge drills on either side start going towards them... only one can be stopped at a time... so if the brother stops his, the sisters inches closer to her brain... and vice versa... pretty intense scene for sure!
I think Saw movies push the horror to far. I love how people will blame video games for f'ed up minds in kids but they won't look at some of the horror movies out right now. Saw is not even really scary to me its just sick.
the first one was good but then 2nd got a little crazy and 3rd and past that is just to much.

That's the ideal horror movie, it's not supposed to be some big pussy fest where you're laughing half the time, a horror movie is meant to shock and terrify you.
Would you prefer it were more like jack frost 2?
If people weren't so fucking stupid, it wouldn't even be an issue with what was causing the "problems" in the first place. Instead of using rational thoughts, they try to push it off on something stupid like movies or video games.
Well like I said I gotta like saw IV since it has my boy Angus in it...
