Saw V (Yes..#5!!) (1 Viewer)

[DavidPla]

I guess this series has now officially become the NEW Friday the 13th. Can't wait for Saw VIII: Jigsaw Takes Manhattan, Jigsaw Goes to Hell, Jigsaw X and Jigsaw Vs. Jason.



"In the fifth installment of the popular SAW franchise, Hoffman is seemingly the last person alive to carry on the Jigsaw legacy. But when his secret is threatened, Hoffman must go on the hunt to eliminate all loose ends."

I'm in for it. I've enjoyed all of them so far. I believe they said there will be 6 total.

 

[Rhett_Y]

I dig the poster....... Like it.

 

[Michael Elliott]

I thought the last film was downright horrible so I hope they do something fresh here.

 

[Joe Karlosi]

I hated part 4 but enjoyed the others. I might be swayed back if it's decent enough.

 

[Joe:C]

Yeah, I've also read that the plan is to have 6 movies.

 

[DavidPla]

Yea but you know if #6 makes a ton of cash, they'll eventually make a #7.. and then maybe a #8... and so on.. then of course the remake in 10 years.

 

[TravisR]

I think alot of people are going to have the same negative reaction that you're having to a Part 5 in a series and this one will make substantially less money than the other entries in the series (but still be very profitable) and hopefully Lion's Gate will know that it's time to bring the series to an end with Saw VI rather than drive it into the ground.

 

[Michael Elliott]

I honestly wonder how much money any of them would have made if theater owners actually kept kids out that don't have a parent with them.

 

[DavidPla]

For sure. Hopefully if they end it at #6, they do end it right and give it a finale that ties everything together and not open ended just in case.

Ever since The Matrix got blamed for murdering people, every theater in my area actually enforces ratings. I'm nearly 30 and I got carded buying a ticket for Saw IV and my buddy saw Saw III and everyone had to show their tickets AND driver's licenses to the usher at the door so kids couldn't sneak in. For the record, I live in a Philadelphia suburb and not the bible belt.

Ironically, the theater that carded me for Saw IV is the same theater where me and my friend bought tickets to Halloween 5 with no problem when we were 9 or 10.

 

[Romier S]

I really enjoed Saw III and felt it was the perfect finale to what is a nice trilogy of films. I rented 4 and thought it was hopelessly unnecessary. A desperate attempt to extend the story past its own natural point of conclusion. (i.e. the death of Jigsaw and Amanda)
I've absolutely no interest in seeing this one...

 

[Beau]

I really liked IV, and it was the only Saw film that left me totally anxious for the next. I am hoping though that they stop at VI and end everything just right. A series like this wouldn't be fun if the plot just keeps going on seemingly endlessly.

 

[RyanAn]

I thought I had read that they were taking a year break inbetween the last one and then making 5 and 6. I'm not complaining as I find the series fun and interesting. Would this make it the longest running consecutive horror franchise, taking over for Friday the 13th?

Teaser Trailer

[Beau]

Pretty cool teaser. Short and sweet, and with just a tad of the theme music at the end. That music still sends a shiver down my spine whenever I hear even a bit of it.

 

[BrianShort]

I've still only seen the first one. I have the others in my Netflix Queue, but for some reason they don't have Saw II in Blu-ray, which I'm kind of waiting for before watching it. They have 1 and 3 and 4 in BR, just not 2...

 

[Malcolm R]

Probably a lot more, since those kids sneaking in likely bought tickets for some other PG or PG-13 film, so their tickets didn't actually get credited to "Saw" grosses.

 

[Michael Elliott]

Perhaps God just put a curse on me for going into these movies before I was 17 but I always see young, young kids in these films. It seems every horror movie I've watched in the theater over the past ten years has had more kids (under 17) than anyone else.
