i really wish this wasn't the big money maker horror series right now. these movies are truly terrible.

....that said, enjoy, if you dig torture porn, eat it up. not my bag. for horror, i prefer straight slashers.

i don't mind the saw series. i didn't like the first, but the others were entertaining to eat pop corn to.

that aside, that was an awful trailer! it looks terribly amatuerish and totally unacceptable for a featue film. if u can't even come up with enough decent footage and/or editing with for the trailer, that's not a good sign at all for the film.

^true. i think they're rushing it personally. saw 5 is planned for next year already. according to producers, it will end at 5.

i'm going to go see 30 days of night this weekend. looks better than saw.

Not a fan. They are like the same thing over and over, just different ways of killing people.

Zombie deaths > Saw deaths

Just me though.

I agree

Saw 1 = Wow thats some gruesome shit. Loved it. *popcorn*

Saw 2 = Wow, i still can't get over this gruesome shit.

Saw 3 = Wow, it's the same shit as in the first 2 movies.....over it.

Saw 4 = Fuck the saw series.

Heheh, so what your saying is:

If you Saw 1, 2, or 3, you Saw 4.

:fruit: Lawl.

Anyways....\/\/\/

That's exactly what i'm saying. They're just rehashing the same thing over and over again.

The concept was sorta fresh when the first movie came out. It was gory, gruesome, shocking, and it kept you wanting to know how it all ended with a nice little twist at the end.

The second and third ones could have just been an extension of the first one. No new ideas, nothing to keep you riveted to your seat wanting to know what happens next.

The series is certainly a sort of action thriller, but the last two iterations have been lacking the suspense of the first movie.

If Saw 4 continues in the same way as the last two, I'll pass.

Couldn't have put it better myself. They should have left it at the trilogy, and made it somewhat decent, but now they are just whoring it out.

lol, i'll agree that the saw sequels didn't offer anything original or clever over the first. that's why to me, the series was an entertaining popcorn movie afterwards. just b/c it's a rehash, it doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable. infact, most films period (not just hollywood) are just the same product with different packaging. however, that doesn't mean i can't enjoy it if has other redeeming qualities.

Likewise, I didn't enjoy the first Saw despite the original (at the time, to me at least) plot. The acting was so terrible, and the production was so cheesy that I couldn't take it seriously. Imho, originality alone isnt sufficient to make a good film, but lack of originality doesn't kill an otherwise acceptable product.
Regardless you'd only be setting yourself for disappointment, if you walk into any of the saw sequels and expect originality.

You make a very good point. There are many movies I've gone to see, purely to be entertained. A movie doesn't have to be new or original to be good.

On the other hand, just because a movie is cookie cutter, doesn't mean you have to create a complete carbon copy of it's brethren. The Saw series, has certainly done so.

You're also right about not walking into the theater expecting something original. If I did that, I would have been let down way more than I already have been.

Just by seeing the previews for the 2nd and 3rd movies, you can see that it's just the same gore, and shock value. I just wanted them to have the same psychological edge the first one had.

Didn't want to go to a movie for the purpose of seeing people dismembered, so I haven't seen any of them.

You know? Make love, not war, or some shit. =P

I like watching them for the sole purpose of seeing odd ways to die but the story is getting fucking retarded.

Why do horror movies feel the need to make so many damn sequels. I guess it's cause they only have a small window of a few years to make money on the franchise.

^i think thats why the series is doing so good. people see it for the bloody deaths, dont even pay attention to the plot, and automatically label it "fucking awesome/badass".

I went to the first Saw for a couple of reasons.

1) it was shot in 18 days and written by a couple of young unknowns (James Wan & Leigh Whannell)

2) the budget was 1.2 million

I thought the first film was brilliant (concept, budget, twist, etc), despite the fact that Danny Glover's part was a throw away.

The sequels have gotten progressively worse. However, "Hollywood" filmmaking is about dollars, not about quality.

As long as there are sick fucks out there who like to see people cut up into little pieces on screen, there will continue to be shitty horror films made.

Just hope that the Saw franchise will get better, not worse...

...btw, Saw 5 is in the works.
