I agree. #1 was sort of fun, but #2 was just plain silly, and all #3 had in its sleeve was more gore.

I haven't seen any of the SAW films, but I only really plan to watch the first. The premise just doesn't seem like something I'd like all that much. Now about the upcoming fourth film... Now, come on people, we don't need this. Soon, SAW will rival Friday the Thirtenth in sequels!

I was talking about this to a friend tonight and he predicts that since every seaquel has made more money then the preveious one, there just gonna keep puttin 'em out every october. The bastards. I love October. Now they're gonna ruin it. What do people see in those damn things?! Screw it. I'm gonna go watch "Critters".

I was bored of SAW after the first one.

I guess it's the new horror franchise.

I think I prefer when the infinite sequels star hands on killers with weapons and masks, though.

...and seventies chicks getting their REAL boobs out.

The first one was good, the second not so good, the third.......was bloody awful(no pun intended) to many why's? with the third one why didn't he wrap his robe around the woman in the freezer? why didn't he use the abundance of junk lying around to jamb the mechanisms on the cross? why didn't his wife tell him about the collar? why did anyone think the chained up guy have any hope of removing the loop through his jaw?

They ran this one into the ground after the first one and much like Nightmare, Halloween, and Friday its gonna get flogged to death until it becomes a joke

Well I think they should make a SAW IV and the victims should be the director and producers of the first 3, difference being ... this times it's for real with no special effect!!! And for Saw V it would be a film of them destroying all copies of the first 4 and that stupid little puppet too ... ooohhh a puppet, I'm so afraid.

The answer is, well, some people find puppets to be creepy. Like clowns I guess.

RCMerchant · March 22, 2007, 05:51:25 AM

My sister gave us an old Charlie McCarthy dummy,sans suit and hat,and he sits on a deacon's bench in the living room. Everyone who sees it says" That's real creepy!" Even my kids want me to stick it in the closet or something. Of course,that's why I won't (heheheheheheheheh)
Lon Chaney Sr. had a comment about clowns,along the lines of a clown in a circus is funny...but a clown standing outside your door at midnight is not! Think about it...brr....!
All this doesn't mean anything in regards to SAW...I still think they all sucked.

Indeed. My wife finds them very creepy. In fact, she has avoided watching all the TV ads for the new Dead Silence film because of the puppet/doll angle to the movie and has told me quite firmly that she will not be watching it with me ever.

Neville · March 22, 2007, 12:58:24 PM

My sister is that way too. She watched the first "Child's play" film when she was on her teens, and she moved several dolls to my room that very night. The funny thing is that they were dressed in all sorts of regional clothes, which didn't make them exactly scary. Think about Urkel-style dressing.

The Saw movies aren't quite as bad as other stuff that passes for horror these days...but I do agree that, like all the others, they're much too airbrushed and Hollywood. The great thing about the older horror movies from the late 70's and 80's, is that they were gritty and had actors that seemed like real people, even if they couldn't really act sometimes.

Today's horror movies are basically stylized fluff, masquerading as gritty, featuring pretty boys, "hot" plastic girls, and often loads of CGI. It's like a rich girl's idea of what's scary, almost.

It's just another example of Hollywood stuck in its "New is better!" mindset. Just look at all the remakes of classic horror movies.

My feelings exactly!!!! Too much chrome...you always know your watching a movie,it's almost like MTV with monsters. Kinda like the music they call "punk" these days. Place Green Day next to old school Black Flag. no heart or feeling behind it. The original Texas Chainsaw benifitted from it's low budget,no name actors, and the new one,welllet's just say I expected R.Lee Emery to stick a jelly donut in the victums mouth. The editing and fast forward jump cuts in SAW was a constant(and annoying) reminders of that,this was a MOVIE. In the first HILLS HAVE EYES,the scene where Micheal Berryman is in the camper,jamming raw hamberger into his mouth is much scarier than a lot of the costly fx or CGI gore you see in movies now. He just looked and seemed like a real,insane animal,and not an actor with a bunch of plastic on his face. To horrify people you need to believe what is on the screen,not just throw fx at the audiance.And I dislike the Ken and Barbie victums too, Franklin in the original TCM was a real flawed person,not a collage MTV kid.

I wouldnt even classify the Saw franchise as horror, more thriller then anything.

Just because you guys dont like the movies they should stop making them? Gimme a break, these movies are better then 99% of the s**t there making now.

Depending on where they go with the 4th film, it wouldnt bother me if they keep making more.

NO MORE SAW MOVIES PLEASE!
